Hi Peter ,

i read the articles that u sent me and they were good :-)

Now that i know that the ASP.NET check in 3 places i can choose where to put
my dll's which is good .

For the copylocal property ,
i saw that when i changed it to true my dll was copied to the bin folder but
the question is what if i m changing the original Dll
does it will copy the new version again ?

let me answer that :-) i did a little change in the dll and nothing happen
and only after i set the copylocal property to false and than to true
the new change was done .
do u know if there is a way to use the copylocal property without coping the
dll to the bin folder each time ?
do you recommend to use this property ?

For the Reference Path Issue ,
in the article that you sent me
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cscon/html
/vcurfcbuildpropertypage.asp)
they wrote that
When the project system finds an assembly reference, it will try to resolve
the reference by looking in the following locations, in the following order
1. project directory
2. Look for assemblies in directories specified with the Reference Path
property

and so on ...
but some how it didn't work for me even when i added the path for my dlls
(C:\MyDlls\) , how come ?

if i understand you right you preferred to use the GAC ?

 tried to use the GAC but the process to convert dll to be strong name bcz
the GAC require is very long but in the end i success with the long process
but
when i moved the dll out of the project directory and then i drag the dll in
to the C:\WINDOWS\assembly folder
and i tried to use the dll i got the not defined error :-(

any ideas ?

once again ,

10x :-)
