How does a component determine what other internally referenced component to use Messages   Related Types This message was discovered on ASPFriends.com 'aspngfreeforall' list. Bill Bassler Question 1: I'm trying to get a handle on the "order of usage" that a .Net component uses to determine what internally referenced .dll to load at run-time. If I had component A that referenced another component B, and I built component A against component B while they were both in the same physical directory .... I then install component B into the GAC while leaving component B's .dll in the same physical directory. Which actual component B would be loaded at run-time? The one in the same directory or the one in the GAC. i.e. What's the usage order? What the above in general in mind .... Question 2: In development, what's the best approach to building a project/component against an internally referenced component (e.g. a third-party component) that will reside in the GAC in a production environment? As the installation in the GAC doesn't equate to a physical location, my assumption would be to install and reference the (e.g. third-party component) locally (bin) and assume that in production the .Net run-time will not find the .dll locally (private) and eventually search for and find it in the GAC?? Is there a way to reference/build against a component installed in the GAC at build time. There doesn't appear to be. In general, how do you approach this situation. Reply to this message...        Steve Mark Regarding question 1: you can answer this yourself by building a component that returns a value (say 1) and save it away, then change the return value to something else, (say 2) and build and GAC that, then setup the components (each with same version and sn) as you have described and see what value you get back.
