How to include Castle ActiveRecord assemblies with a C# project

Question

I've run into what could be a potential problem with the professor getting a C# program to run. The documentation for Castle ActiveRecord says:

If you are using Visual Studio .Net, add references to the following assemblies:

• Castle.ActiveRecord.dll
• Castle.Core.dll
• Castle.Components.Validator.dll
• Castle.DynamicProxy.dll
• NHibernate.dll
• Iesi.Collections.dll
• log4net.dll

I figured out how to add references to Boost in standard C++ but my professor was not able to run the application because he did not have Boost installed.

Will the same thing happen with Castle? If so, how do I include the assemblies with the project?

Answer 1

What you can do is create a folder in your project to hold a private copy of these assemblies. Then when you are adding references to them add a reference to the private copy rather than to the installed copies on your machine.
