To be clear, you're going to have to use asis="true". The question is whether csc.exe will automatically know where to find Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll even though the command line will not have any path specified. That's what I mean by "treated as a framework dll". If csc.exe is not automatically finding it, then you're only option is to specify the full path to the file (either the c:\windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\vxxxxx\ path or make a local copy of the files and specify the path to the local copies).

Thanks. heh i read "asis" hmm I don't know that word.... ah! As IS :) Ok i just tested, and the mentioned dll's is not treated as framework dll's and hench is not added to the reference path, except when i set asis to true. So i have resoted to copy th files manually. However should thouse not be considered frameworkfiles? Yes i was trying to use to references sections in my 2nd mail. and first was to different aproaches - just to clear up misunderstandings :) Is multiple references sections a feature that is considered for implementation? cheers Jesper Erv Walter wrote: > Normally (this is not specific to the references fileset) when you > include a file in a fileset, Nant will try to locate that file and > verify that it exists.
