We have a project called WWW that references another project in the same solution as the Framework.
Framework uses Nuget, which has a dependency on another Nuget package called iSynaptic.
The Framework.csproj xml says:
<Private>true</Private>
and the visual studio user interface says
Copy Local = True.
However, when I rebuild the solution, WWW / bin does not contain a dll for iSynaptic.Core.
Here is the full xml for the link:
<Reference Include="iSynaptic.Core"> <HintPath>..\packages\iSynaptic.Core.0.1.3\lib\iSynaptic.Core.dll</HintPath> <Private>true</Private> </Reference>
I also tried permutations in case of case sensitivity: true, True and TRUE
In addition, I tried adding a dummy class file to the Framework, which explicitly uses the class from iSynapticCore.dll
using iSynaptic; using iSynaptic.Core; namespace Framework.Bootstrap { public static class Dummy { public static int GetCode() { return iSynaptic.HashCode.MixJenkins32(0); } } }
I found examples of creating a class that inherits a class from dll. But unfortunately, none of the classes in iSynaptic.Core are publicly available.
I also tried removing and re-adding links through visual studio, as well as manually manually adding xml.
I also tried using visual studio to set Copy Local to false, then save, then set Copy Local back to true, and then save.
I checked the GAC and the assembly is NOT loaded in the GAC
I tried to build both Visual Studio 2012 and MSBuild from the command line:
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe /target:Clean,Rebuild
Any ideas that might cause the DLL not to be copied to the WWW / bin output directory during assembly?
