Hi,
I have created a .net 4.0 windows form project.
It is on my laptop. In development.
I need to reference a dll from another server into this project.
How can I do that?
Thanks so much!

seriously!!. it's not a good idea to refer a file from a shared path. your application will fail if you try to deply/run in other PC.
btw what's you real problem? and what is the role of the referring dll??

as per jibesh - it doesnt sound like a good idea .. the most stable ways I can think of are
a) get a copy of the dll for your dev machine - transfer by usb/email/carrier pidgeon
b) map a permanent share to the machine where the dll is and reference the dll on the path
Unless you're back in the good old days of c++ rpc, there's no way to request dll type services over the net (and even then, rpc requires/required a mapping and comms layer to do so)

When you add a reference over the network, the IDE will make a local copy of this dll anyway.
So, nothing should be stopping you from copying the dll to your own machine / project folder and referencing it from this local location.
