Specific version property when adding references
-
When adding new references in visual studio, the 'Specific Version' property defaults to True. Makes sense when you want to compile against specific versions for side by side deployments. We have several projects that reference assembly .dlls that are just dumped into a common folder. So the latest .dll overrides the previous version. Next time developer goes to compile, the build fails because VS is looking for a specific version of the .dll. Is there a way to override this default value to false when adding new references? So when adding a new reference by using the Add Reference popup, the default value to Specific Value defaults to false instead of true.

I don't know, but I'd like to suggest using the project-templates. Create a new application, add all the desired references, and export it as a new template. Also helps in getting a decent default for the Assembly.cs file :)
