Hi Stephen,

I am working on a C# project using VS2008 and have COM objects. I have added 
the DLL's as references and they are being copied to the Unit Test project. If 
you slick the DLL under references and press F4 you will see the references 
properties. For my DLL's Copy Local is set to True. I hope this helps.

Regards, 
Michael O'Dea-Jones

Subject: Native code references

hey all,

I find myself delving into the world of COM and Native code (ie C++) and 
calling it from managed code. Something I've been tripped up by is missing 
dll's. I was wondering if there's an easy way I've missed that someone could 
share.

I'm writing some unit tests for code that wraps calls to these native dll's but 
I've found adding references to the supplied C# wrapper classes does not 
automagically copy the required dll's along with it.
I've had to resort to Post build copies of the required native dll's and their 
dependencies, which once I've done works fine.

Is that the best practice, or have i missed something? I've managed to avoid 
this until now (and to be honest am having fun with it. I feel like a REAL 
programmer. lol)

cheers,
Stephen
