I have a business object class that is potentially dependent on 0 or more 3rd party assemblies, which extend it via a method
similar to Extenders in VS automation.

The problem is when I attempt to bind to this object in VS.NET, the assembly defining the business object is copied to the
ProjectAssemblies folder, however the reflected assemblies (in the same folder) are obviously not copied, since there is no direct
reference. Is there a way for me (at design time) to know where my assembly was shadow-copied from to look for the other types?

Cheers,

Stu

What I've done for now is add a 'hintPath' to my configuration file, so I can locate my extension assemblies.

Cheers,

Stu
