ADF and ADF Local DLL

[KentLam]

I need to use ComReleaser, BaseCommand and MxCommand.

The simple solution is to use ESRI.ArcGIS.ADF since it has these classes. However, the compiler complains:

The type 'ESRI.ArcGIS.ADF.BaseClasses.BaseCommand' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'ESRI.ArcGIS.ADF.Local, Version=10.1.0.0, ...

And if I add that reference, it complaints that I have duplicate:

The type 'ESRI.ArcGIS.ADF.CATIDs.MxCommands' exists in both 'C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\DeveloperKit10.1\DotNet\ESRI.ArcGIS.ADF.Local.dll' and 'C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\DeveloperKit10.1\DotNet\ESRI.ArcGIS.ADF.dll'

How do I resolve this issue? Is there a way to explicitly specify which dll to load the class from?

Please help.

At 10.0 and higher you should not be referencing the ADF assembly at all.  You should be using ADF.Local.

Hi Neil, thanks for the quick response. I need to use ADF for ComReleaser. ADF.Local does not have this class. Is there a suitable replacement?

I believe the ComReleaser class is in the ADF.Connection.Local assembly.

Thank you very much. ADF.Connection.Local solved it.
