As someone new to Telerik controls I might be missing something obvious but I cannot seem to figure this out.
I am working in VS 2010 developing a ASP.NET / Ajax based solution. So far on my development box everything is working without error. Per the suggested standards I have created a library of reports which are then referenced in my web projects. I have created a asp.net webpage which generically launches a given report when required.
When this project is deployed to the production server the Telerik.Reporting.dll is correctly copied. VS 2010 appears to automatically pick up the reference from my Report Library .DLL. What does not get picked up is the reference to the Telerik.ReportViewer.WebForms DLL. No matter where I located the reference to the Report Viewer (either in the library or main ASP.NET application), the resulting references all refer to the GAC. Given that my deployment is via "xcopy", items may not reside in the GAC.
As long as I remember to copy the DLL's to my projects compiled folder everything works. As this is not automated human error can creep in. Is there a way I can automate the deployment of the required items? Is this a question of how I refer to the control? Is this a question of where it is compiled?
Thank you for any insight you might provide.

Hello David,
As the Deploying Web Site help article notes, you should make sure the required assemblies are either copied to the bin folder or you can set the Copy Local property of the reference to true.

That is a an obvious solution however it is not available to me. While creating a standard application (not a website), I have the options of clicking on references and saying "copy local". When creating a website project that option is not available to me. Is this a limitation of VS 2010?

This is rather a limitation of the web site projects and not Visual Studio. MS advise that you copy the references manually as well: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ez524kew.aspx

You are of course correct. Thank you for increasing my knowledge of this tool. I keep finding new features I never knew I had.
