Question

User1527252761 posted

Hi,

I can't find any way in the Webmatrix IDE to add a .NET assembly reference to a website project. On right-clicking the 'bin' folder, there comes no menu option to add an assembly reference. Elsewhere in the IDE also, there is no option to add the assembly reference. 

Kindly advice how to add a reference.

Thanks.

You can download and install Visual Studio Express and use that to add references to Web Pages projects. Or, if the assembly is available via Nuget, you can use that. Finally, you can simply copy the dll to the bin folder.
