Question
I have a sharpsvn .net library i want to use in ironpython project. Library is shipped as a .ney .dll file. For C# projects i just add this file to project "Reference" section and after that i can use a library:
But for IronPython, the "Reference" section opens very strange window i can't figure out how to add .dll reference to it. Is it any way to reference .net .dll library in IronPython other than GAC?
Solution
Add Reference dialog should not be used. Instead you can
import clr
clr.AddReferenceToFileAndPath(...) ' with path
or configure SearchPath directory and use AddReference
import clr
clr.AddReference("SharpSvn")
OTHER TIPS
You add them in the script itself, something like this.
import clr
clr.AddReferenceToFileAndPath("SharpSvn.dll")
You need to go to the IronPython solution and right-click on Search path and Add a new search path. Once this is done the folder your DLL is in will be in the search path like the screen shot

Once that is done you need to do
import clr
clr.AddReference("SharpSvn.dll")
