Copying References to a Local Path

Go Up to Getting Started with RAD Studio

During runtime, assemblies must be in the output path of the project or in the GAC for deployment. If your project contains a reference to an object that is not in one of the two locations, the reference must be copied to the appropriate output path.

To a copy reference to a local path

1. In the Project Manager, right-click an assembly DLL in the References folder.
2. Set the Copy Local option to copy the file to the output directory.

   Note: The IDE maintains the Copy Local setting until you change it.
