如何避免在构建服务器上的GAC中安装.NET程序集？

Question

We're using Windows Identity Foundation in some of our applications. On the developer machines, this installs various bits into the GAC.

I'd rather not do this on our build agents.

In general, how do I pull .NET assemblies from the GAC so that I can reference them in our builds?

Answer 1

Make sure you put "copy local", in order to avoid deploy problems. (right click on the reference, properties, copy local, true).

Hope it helps

Answer 2

In your references, click each of the Dlls in question and set their "Copy Local" property to True. This should mean that when you build they get copied into the bin folder of the application.
