Why VS sucks today
-
Some one sent me a project with links to DLLs that are located in different locations on my PC to his and in VS there is no way to change the location that the DLL is pointing to. Instead I need to modify the csproj file directly!!!!!!! Okay and breath.... rant over

When I use "other assemblies" like that, I create a folder in the solution labeled "Other Assemblies", and add references to THAT folder. That way, this particular problem is avoided. It would be nice if there was a Send to Compressed folder" option in VS so that all of the project dependencies were automatically resolved, thus resulting in a ZIP that contains all referenced DLLs that aren't in the GAC.

I solve this (paths of dlls, libs and includes on different machines) now by using CMake to generate my project files. http://cmake.org/[^]

If it is not a project reference then I just sign the assemblies and drop them in the GAC but I am lazy that way.

If it's a Windows application you don't have to modify the references. You can add reference paths to the project that will resolve the actual reference to a different folder. Right click on the project file, click properties, go to the references tab, and click reference paths.
