I come from a Java background. So over the last decade I have moved away from managing dependencies on projects using jars in shared folders. Most professional java programmers have used Maven or Ivy. Recently I looked at Groovy and Gradle. All well and good. What do programmers use for .NET, WPF and Silverlite? I have been trying to find out and there are mixed opinions. Some write scripts to copy .dll files, others rely on the Visual Studio solutions. None of these solutions are scalable. I found this project: npanday Has anyone used it on a large project? I would love to hear your views or review. What does microsoft do? What do you do?
Please comment here I am very interested in hearing what other programmers do for .NET dependency management.
