Where are component references (dlls) stored in ASP.NET?

I have dlls in the bin directory. I do not see where they are indicated in any solution or web.config files. So where are the links stored?

The answer depends on whether your project is a website or a web application. On the website, all assemblies in the bin directory are automatically referenced. The web application has links to the projects you are looking for.

While working on a previously developed ASP.NET WebSite project in VS2012, I figured out how to find them (and thus add / remove / update them).

  • In the Solution Explorer, right-click the project name (the globe icon will appear next to it)
  • Click Property Pages ( NOT ). It will appear in a separate (floating) frame window.
  • Now just left-click the Links element at the top of the list to the left. It! Now you can add, delete and update any links related to your WebSite project.

If the project is a web application or MVC, right-click and select upload project. Then right-click and select edit. If you go through XML, you will find a collection of project links and other DLL links for MS or other assemblies.

If you actually reference them, they should be “saved” in the project files (* .csproj for C #, * .vbproj for Visual Basic).

In the case of an ASP.NET website links are stored in the web.config file.

I deleted most of the links, but one of my old websites has things like this:

<compilation debug="true"> <assemblies> <add assembly="System.Core, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089" /> <add assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" /> <add assembly="System.Xml.Linq, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089" /> <add assembly="System.Data.DataSetExtensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089" /> <add assembly="System.Web.Extensions.Design, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" /> <add assembly="System.Data.Linq, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089" /> </assemblies> </compilation>
