weWithin our development environment we have VS2010 installed on my computer along with Expresison blend and silverlight4 tools. We have a separate build box where we compile and build the entire project. When running through the precompile I am receiving errors that references to the expression blend namespaces cannot be found. I assume this is due to the fact that expresison blend is not installed on the build box.
What is the best practice to prevent this from happening in the future? One solution presented was to just install expression blend on the build box but to me that seems unnecessary.
I have also thought of creating a lib direcotry within my project/solutions files and then add all assemblies there. Then within the references directory add them, but point to the lib directory within the project. I haven't done this only becuase if feels as if it is somewhat of a hack as I am basically creating duplicate dll's so there is no versioning or control over when a dll becomes updated etc that could potentially lead to problems down the road.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
