Use library

[shapper]

Hello,

In a web site application in VS 2008 where should I place third party
DLL files and what is the best way to make them available, including
the namespaces, to my web application?

Thanks,

Miguel

They go in the bin as references.

As far as namespace availability, it really depends. If they are controls,
add them to the toolbox and it will automatically register the tags when you
drop them on the page.

One way to decide is to figure how often you use them. If on every page, you
might be best adding the namespace reference in web.config.

In code behind, you can alter the templates to include the library
reference, if this is something you do in every project. Then it really does
not matter.

Hope this helps!
