Copying References to a Local Path

Go Up to Getting Started with RAD Studio

During runtime, assemblies must be in either:

• The output path of the project
• 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 copy a 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.
