I'm trying to deploy my site to a pre-production server, however hitting serveral problems. I need to confirm a few bits and hopefully resolve my problem. Using vss i've had problems with dll's and references. Currently my dll's for my project are not under source control (no blue padlock), should they be?
Any help would be good, thanks,
Michael
There are a few ways that binaries in your bin folder will not be under source control.
1. If the assembly has an auto-refresh path set (i.e. you see a .refresh file under that file in the bin folder).
2. If the assembly is a dependency of a file that has an auto-refresh path set (these files are brought in when the reference was originally added).
3. If the binary comes from a class library project reference.
If the binary does not fall into one of these three categories, then it should be under source control. Can you tell me what problems with dll's and references you're experiencing?
Thanks,
John
