.NET Forum / .NET Framework / Performance / July 2004Best way To Reference Shared Assembly?
Hi, I've built an assembly that's going to be deployed to the global assembly cache of a few servers and I'm wondering what the best way to reference it is? I've deployed the assembly to my local machine's GAC and currently reference it in an app's web.config file within the compilation\assemblies element. Is it better to add a section name handler for the assembly's type/namespace within the machine.config file? If i do this will i still have to add a reference within each apps web.config file? The web.config reference: ie: <assemblies> ----<add assembly="MyAssembly, Version=1.0.2411.0, ---------- Culture=neutral, ---------- PublicKeyToken=xyzpdq1234"/> </assemblies> Any advice is appreciated although a response of "don't put it in the GAC put it in the bin dir" isn't what I'm looking for. Add the assembly reference to References?

THanks.. but I need a solution that isn't specific to Visual Studio. Adding a reference by using the "Reference" property of a project stores the information in the .vbproj file which is autogenerated by visual studio. > Add the assembly reference to References? > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > Any advice is appreciated although a response of "don't put it in the GAC > put it in the bin dir" isn't what I'm looking for.

Thanks but can you elaborate? I think if I knew what you meant I would not have the need to post my question. I'd like to know how rather in addtion to when. How would I go about "add(ing) the reference at compile time"? > Then add the reference at compile time... > [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] > GAC > > > put it in the bin dir" isn't what I'm looking for. Hi Chris, See csc /reference compiler option it lets you add a reference to an assembly at compile time.
