dotnet windows forms designtime
group:vs.net 2k3 dll reference issue
dotnet windows forms designtime:
i've created very complicated custom control that sits inside the dll. the problem is that this custom control needs two other dlls from different namespaces. now when i drop my control on the form in the final project (using vs.net 2k3) only the reference to the dll with custom controll is added to the project references. what can i do to have vs.net automatically add two other references to dlls that this control needs? if i try to compile the project without these two referenced dlls i got errors related to the properties of this controll that reference these missing dlls. when i add the references manually
hi,
thaks for your help. two more questions: the fullAssembyName is the name of the dll that my control needs nad that is not added by default to the project references when i drop my control on the new form? can you tell me where should i put this code? in the constructor of the control? inside some method override?

hi
You should write something like this: ITypeResolutionService resources = (ITypeResolutionService) control.Site.GetService(typeof (ITypeResolutionService)); IReferenceService irs = (IReferenceService) control.Site.GetService(typeof (IReferenceService)); AssemblyName assN = new AssemblyName() ; assN.Name = fullAssemblyName; if (irs != null && irs.GetReference(fullAssemblyName) == null) { resources.ReferenceAssembly(assN); } It will add fullAssemblyName into the references of the project.

i would try to reconsider the design of the assemblies. would you mind
if i ask what the two assemblies contain?

Hi
Sorry for delay. You can add this code into constructor in design time. Thus you should check if it's design mode in the contructor of the control and add this code, otherwise if you're not in design mode no addition to the reference should be done.

hi,
i've used your code, but now i have a different problem: when i drop my control on the form i get message saying "The .NET assembly 'myAsseblyName' could not be found." after that the control is not placed on the form. so it looks like the control chcecks for the referenced assemblies but cannot find them. what can i do to make it find them? when i manually add the missing asemblies to the project and then drop the control - everything is fine. but i would like to have this references added automatically.

oops, sorry. ingore my previous post - i had wrong assembly reference
path in the source project. anyway, your advice does not help :( or probably i'm doing something wrong. it looks like there is no difference whether your code exists or not. no aditional references are added to the final project when i drop this problematic control on the form. maybe i did something wrong? could you tell me what did you ment by this two fragments? 1. [...] control.Site.GetService [...] - what is _control_? is it my control that references other assemblies? 2. assN.Name = fullAssemblyName; - i assume that _fullAssemblyName_ is the name of the referenced assembly that should be added to the references? sorry for this, but i admit that when comes to this part of .net programing i'm still a noob :/ i just never needed this.

InK_,
sorry again... :/ i've just run this code through the debugger (debuged another instance of vs.net). it looks like it was never called, because somehow the control has the property DesignMode set to false even if it is being "designd" in vs.net - i have no idea why. so now i need to know to what the _control_ is referencig in your code example because when i change it to "this" it obviously throws an exception, because the control itself is not yet created. when i change it to "Control" i obviously get compiler error because Control is non static. any clues?
