1/10/2006 9:44:40 AM    Updated Version of SqlClrProject
Back in December (26:th to be exact) I released a new version of the  
  
SqlClrProject and wrote about it here [0].  
  
One drawback of the deployment functionality was that you could only  
  
deploy locally as the deployment process used the CREATE ASSEMBLY based  
  
on the location of the assembly; i.e. CREATE ASSEMBLY myasm FROM  
  
'path_to_dll'.  
  
Well, this is now fixed, as I have chenged the code so it now uses the  
  
binary representation of the assembly. You who know your CREATE ASSEMBLY  
  
stuff may think "what about dependent assemblies?" as dependent  
  
assemblies are not automatically deployed when using the binary  
  
representation. Well, the code handles that as well, it uses reflection  
  
to see what the dependent assemblies are and retrieves the binary  
  
representation of those as well during deployment.  
  
So if you have installed the original SqlClrProject which was available  
  
from here [1], there is now an update here [2]. Download the update, un-  
  
zip and follow the readme.txt. The original download has now been  
  
updated as well, so if you haven't retrived it yet, go and get it [3].
