c#: What is teh right way to adda new .dll as reference ?

Asked by angelsofgrace2006 in Microsoft Visual C#.Net, Visual Studio 2008

Hi,

I'm working on this CMS (a website) in C# that has several .dll files in the Bin directory.

I've coded a .dll myself, but although I get no errors, it's not working. I suppose it might be because I'm not adding my .dll as a new reference in the proper way.

What I did is to compile it as a new project, copy the resulting .dll to the site's Bin directory and then in VS 2008 right-click on the root directory of the site and chose "Add Reference...".
In the dialog box, it's not in ".NET", "COM" or "Projects". So, I chose "Browse", point to the site's "Bin" directory and select it.

So, my question is: is this the right way to do it ? Something is missing ?
I had another previous version, that i simply deleted. I found no option in VS 2008 to remove the reference whatsoever.

Is this an issue ?

On another note, the "Build solution", only gives me the .dll in the debug directory, I got no "Bin" directory with the .dll
How do I do this ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Warm Regards,
