I use the Ionic.Zip library to zip files up. We have consistently had issues making references like this work across all of our projects, to the point where we created a References directory under the Projects directory and placed all of the DLLs into that for source control. This allows us to "pull" these files and get the latest versions, and then any project references that same physical file. I am still having a problem with this Ionic.Zip.Dll file. I reference it. The reference does not give the "broken" icon. Using works just fine. But when the line of code hits the call into the function where it would actually create a variable, it stops and complains that the DLL file cannot be found. I am a bit confused for several reasons. First why is it stopping on the function call rather than down in the function itself where the zip object is dimensioned? Second why is it complaining at all when the rest of the program apparently thinks things are fine? No compile errors, no using complaints no references complaints. Weird! I have seen places where the using collection in the project says the thing (suddenly) cannot be found, and I have to delete and re-reference the object, but in this case there is just no indication anywhere that there is a problem until we hit the function call to the function inside of which I do the compression stuff.
