How to stop Visual Studio adding assemblies to my web.config?
Every time i build, or publish, a web-site, Visual Studio attempts to check out the web.config file so that it can add numerous assemblies that are not required.

Reference calling assembly instance in C#
.Net 3.5 sp1 available type question ... Is it possible to "get a handle" or reference to the actual instance of an assembly that called a method?

Winforms: where should assemblies that go with the application be published
Very simple Winforms application I want to deploy manually. Can all the referenced assemblies simply go in the application folder or where should they be published? (In ASP.NET they can go in the \bin folder). I would rather not put in the GAC. ...

I have a little bit of code that loops through the types currently loaded into an AppDomain that runs in an ASP.NET application.

Is it possible for a custom asp.net control to load types at design time from the assembly hosting the control?
I have a custom server control for asp.net. One of the properties available to it is a generic object.

Restrict access to .NET assembly?
Is there a way to have a .NET assembly accessible for only authorized sources? I mean I want to have a DLL that contains components, but I don't want anyone to be able to use these components but the other DLLs EXEs in my solution. I do want them to be in separated DLLs though. Restriction on namespace might also be a good idea if this...

Fusion loader can't find a DLL that is actually there - "Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information."
Does anyone have any idea what would cause the Fusion loader to simply skip over a DLL with no warning or acknowledgement? I'm seeing this problem when attempting to do (in C#) Assembly.LoadFrom("c:\Deploy\bin\WebServices.dll") from a command-line application. That DLL has a dependency on Platform.DLL, but the loading of that dep...
Is is necessary to Securing private .Net assemblies?
