Thank you for this indication, I really went into the wrong direction in my diagnostic, but the behavior I see is still different.
I'm using VS.NET 2002 and 2003 and it does not seem to be related to vs.net version. Now, the problem i'm actually having, is that some assemblies referenced are not considered as "system assemblies". I don't know the exact definition of a system assembly, it could be (or not) an assembly that was registered into the GAC. i'm using <assemblyfolders> to include a directory full of assemblies. My project references an assembly found in the GAC. The nant solution task copies this assembly to my project output directory from the assemblyfolders, but VS.NET does not copy anything. Not using <assemblyfolders> does not seem possible because the solution task seems to strictly obey to the hintpath found in the project XML file, whereas VS.NET manages to "find" the referenced assembly in order to perform the link without copying it (the hintpath is wrong in the project XML, we can't avoid that). do you observe that as well ? NOTE : whenever the "Private" attribute is defined and given a value True or False, the solution task acts well of course. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Gert Driesen Sent: mercredi 18 février 2004 18:18 To: Vincent Labatut; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [nant-dev] patch for solution task Vincent, I'm seeing a different behaviour here. For references to non-system assemblies, VS.NET 2003 copies assemblies locally by default. project references : default = true references to system assemblies : default = false references to non-system assemblies : default = true which matches the solution task behaviour. What version of VS.NET are you using ?
