Need help keeping .dll's upated

Good Morning,

I have WCF service that references .dll's from our Entity Framework project and I have published the WCF to one of our servers. However whenever we do a migration on the Entity project the WCF starts sending errors whenever called. Its telling us the model backing the context has changed since the database was created. If I copy those .dll's again to the WCF Service and publish again I have no problems. Is there any easier solution?

Thanks in advance.

Solution 1

I think you should you GAC in .net..

It will keep updating assemblies at your project, and you could add a policy in machine.config which would redirect to the said assembly..

correct me if i m wrong.

Solution 2

When you add the reference to the project, right click the dll reference and set CopyLocal=true

I have that ability in a windows or web application, but there is no setting like that in a WCF Service

Not in Wcf Service. When you add the dll reference to the 'project' that contains the Wcf Service. Set CopyLocal=true for the dll reference added in the project .

Im not adding the dll reference to to project. The project is in a .net version that does not allow entity framework. That is why is use a WCF service. I have the winform project call the WCF Service and have the service access the entity framework and use the models to update the database.
