CodeSmith: How to reference an assembly

Question

using code smith, i'm trying to reference an assembly that i'm generating as output.

the idea is to create the assembly in a build step, then in a later build step reference this assembly for further generation and output from the methods in the assembly.

seems their help is a bit lacking in this area. it says something to the effect of being able to GAC the assembly you wish to reference and then use it in an Assembly directive.

however during the execute, i keep getting error CODESMITH0001: Unable to resolve assembly

any ideas as to where or how i may be thinking about this wrong?

thanks

Whose help is a bit lacking in this area? I'd like to get this taken care of and resolved. What does your assembly directive look like? Are you using a Path="....\Common" attribute to the assembly you a compiling in the previous step?

Also please see this documentation for more information: http://docs.codesmithtools.com/display/Generator/Referencing+Assemblies
