So many replies! Hard to reply to them all, but I understand the issue now. I didn't know it was native.
>> Their beliefs do not impact how the code needs to be deployed in order to function properly. It does because it's my director. For us to deploy DLLs they "have to be added as a reference". They do not allow for deploy scripts to push DLLs to folders unless part of the project. But since it is an unmanaged DLL, I'll just tell them "either drop SQLite or let me copy as content". I'm sure they'll let me keep SQLite =) >> So the company does not use any purely native DLLs in their .NET apps? Correct, the company has absolutely 0 DLLs required to copy as content. >> Adding the non-mixed mode assembly to the GAC is problematic and not recommended. Okay, I won't add it to the GAC then. I'll just argue for my point of having it in a Lib folder and copy as content. Thank you for your help! I'll now be signing off.

Adding a reference requires the DLL to be a managed assembly. -- Joe Mistachkin _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
