yep, the CopyLocal bug is still there (comfortably) in VS2010.
just another microsoft screwup.

[...] Bottom line, Copy Local looks like a boolean value in the IDE, but it is really a ternary value under the covers. Without an explicit tag Visual Studio is supposed to do the right thing, but it seems that’s not the case for all. You can read more about this behavior in Jeremy Jameson’s blog and Infovark. [...]

Thanks for documenting this horrible muddle. Your post has helped me fixed an issue I’ve been having.

I can confirm that this issue exists in VS 2010 SP1 as well…

And the problem is more complicated with test projects, because then you have the testrunconfig’s deployment section to think about too.

@mota Make sure you have a hard reference to project1 in project2 (i.e. there is a piece of code that uses something from project1 – not just a using statement as far as I know, actual calling code).

same in vs2010, referencing dlls in project1, enforcing copy local as described in this article, and when i run project2 with reference to project1, nothing is there, not even in gac, just exception all over screen

that’s really bad and explains a lot of the weirdness i have witnessed with VS 2008. Another thing is that VS really should let you specify what the default should be (in the VS options). if you build your apps in such a way that they require copy local to be false 90% of the time, it’s a real pain to having to change the setting every time.
