How do I have other developers use the runtime libraries without installing LLBLGen?

Create a llblgen project, generate the code, give them the generated code.

You can copy them from the BIN/DEBUG or BIN/RELEASE of your project output. Or you cand found them at *<LLBLGenPro Installation Folder>\RuntimeLibraries\DotNetXX*

I am having problems with the references in the VS.NET projects. The other developers do not have LLBLGen installed. I assumed I could put the runtime libraries in the same location (LLBLGenPro Installation Folder>\RuntimeLibraries\DotNetXX\ ). However VS.NET does not like that.

Do they need put in the GAC? Should I have the developers install LLBLGen without a key?

Hi,

You can have LLBLGen installed without a key if you don't want to run the designer.

btw what VS.NET does not like ? As far i know, you can put librairies where you want.

VS.NET says it cannot find them, I need to take a closer look at the developers machine.

Hello,

you can just have the runtime libraries dll in a folder and add this folder as a reference path in VisualStudio, so you could not have the dll in the same folder. If you only defined a reference path, it is added in the .suo files and doesn't modify the solution(if the code source is under code source control it will not check out it)

To elaborate a bit more: simply add a subfolder on DISK to the folder in which the project is located, e.g. 'RuntimeLibraries'. To that folder, add the runtime libs to use. Then in vs.net reference THESE runtime libs from that folder.

As an example, please download the HnD sourcecode from http://www.llblgen.com/hnd which uses this scheme
