[Monsur H. <m0...@xa...>]

Hi there.  I'm looking at a web project in VS.NET that has a reference
with "Copy Local" equal "True".  However when I open the corresponding
.csproj file in a text editor, there is no "Private" attribute marked
"True" in the reference's tag.  Is there somewhere else that VS.NET
might store this information, or am I missing something?

And just out of curiosity, I added the attribute 'Private =3D "True"' to
the reference's tag.  This caused Nant to copy ALL the references
locally, as if that attribute were applied to all references.  I'm using
the latest Nant build.  Still looking into whats going on, but I thought
I'd throw this out there.

Thanks,
Monsur

reference resolution behaviour


I have exactly the same problem as you, and it seems not to have been
corrected since then.
=20
I took care of setting the "Copy Local" property of my file reference to
"False", but the solution task still copies 43 files in my output
directory.
=20
=20
=20
There is actually a slight difference of behaviour between Visual Studio
and the solution task :
=20
 - in Visual Studio, if Local Copy is not defined it is assumed as
"False" (beware that the value you see in the IDE is not always written
in the project xml file because False is the default value !)
=20
 - in NAnt, if the attribute Private (which corresponds to "Copy Local")
is not defined in the project file, and the reference is neither a
project reference nor an assembly in the GAC, the CopyLocal value is set
to TRUE !!
=20
I fixed that on my machine and it worked fine for my whole solution (25
projects).
=20
=20
To summarise, I propose the following behaviour for the CopyLocal value
:
 - always take into account the value of the Private attribute if
defined
 - if not defined :
       * if it is a project reference then CopyLocal is true
       * if anything else (file present in gac or not) then CopyLocal is
false
=20
=20
It should work as I said if u change the following line
(NAnt/VS.Net/Reference.cs, line 101 of current version) :
=20
              _copyLocal =3D _privateSpecified ? _isPrivate : true;
=20
by this one
=20
              _copyLocal =3D _privateSpecified ? _isPrivate : false;
=20
(it is in the else part, when the assembly is not in the GAC)
=20

vincent

behaviour



	Hi,
=09
	I'm just starting to use the <solution> task and I'm a bit
confused by
	its behaviour. If a project references a dll in a folder,
<solution>
	seems to copy *all* the dlls from that folder to the
build/output
	directory, not just the one that was referenced. In my
environment, this
	leads to my output dirs having significantly more content in
them when I
	use <solution> as opposed to when I use VS's compiler. Is there
a reason
	for this behaviour?
=09
	Cheers,
=09
	Mike
