Problem:

I have a third-party assembly that is stored on a network drive. If I add a reference and browse to the location using UNC e.g. \\RemoteAssemblies\MyReference.dll, the following errors occur :

How can I ensure the reference is added correctly?

Solution:

The UNC path can be added to the Namespaces References Paths list in the project properties :

Add the UNC path you require :

Now Add Reference and Browse to the UNC path and choose the .DLL you require :

selectdll.PNG

The Reference will be added :

The two errors :

Error COBCH0845 Unknown type 'type BasicEncrypt' … and Warning MSB3245 should not occur.
