ResolveAssemblyReference.SearchPaths Property

Definition

Namespace:

Microsoft.Build.Tasks

Assembly:

Microsoft.Build.Tasks.Core.dll

Package:

Microsoft.Build.Tasks.Core v17.9.5

List of locations to search for assemblyFiles when resolving dependencies. The following types of things can be passed in here: (1) A plain old directory path. (2) {HintPathFromItem} -- Look at the HintPath attribute from the base item. This attribute must be a file name not a directory name. (3) {CandidateAssemblyFiles} -- Look at the files passed in through the CandidateAssemblyFiles parameter. (4) {Registry:AssemblyFoldersBase,RuntimeVersion,AssemblyFoldersSuffix} Where:

    _AssemblyFoldersBase_ = Software\Microsoft[.NetFramework | .NetCompactFramework]
    _RuntimeVersion_ = the runtime version property from the project file
    _AssemblyFoldersSuffix_ = [ PocketPC | SmartPhone | WindowsCE]\AssemblyFoldersEx

 Then look in the registry for keys with the following schema:

    [HKLM | HKCU]\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\.NetFramework\
      v1.0.3705
        AssemblyFoldersEx
            ControlVendor.GridControl.1.0:
                @Default = c:\program files\ControlVendor\grid control\1.0\bin
                @Description = Grid Control for .NET version 1.0
                9466
                    @Default = c:\program files\ControlVendor\grid control\1.0sp1\bin
                    @Description = SP1 for Grid Control for .NET version 1.0

 The based registry key is composed as:

     [HKLM | HKCU]_AssemblyFoldersBase__RuntimeVersion__AssemblyFoldersSuffix_

(5) {AssemblyFolders} -- Use the VisualStudion 2003 .NET finding-assemblies-from-registry scheme. (6) {GAC} -- Look in the GAC. (7) {RawFileName} -- Consider the Include value to be an exact path and file name.
