This time I’m posting just a simple tip (because my memory is sloppy, yeah):

I was playing a little bit with T4 templates and dynamic assembly generation and I needed to reference a couple of assembly included in my project. Unfortunately the adding a reference to the ReferencedAssemblies collection on a CompilerParameters instance requires the referenced assembly to be in the GAC or in the same output folder of the executing assembly.

A quick workaround I found is to just recover the reference local path using a contained type, something like this:

[csharp]
private static string GetAssemblyLocationByType() { return typeof(T).Assembly.Location; } [/csharp]

Et voilà!
