1 I was recently writing a server status report program to check the statuses of
2 servers and produces a text file report (stunning good naming scheme I know)
3 and I ran into an error that was quite perplexing mostly because it shouldn't

8 Could not load file or assembly 'file:///<insert network drive path here><insert project path here>binDebugsome.dll' or one of its dependencies.

12 This is quite the problem since unit testing is a wonderful thing sent down
13 from God Himself to bless us developers (who ever said God wasn't good?). **The
14 problem here is that Visual Studio won't load in untrusted assemblies**, and
15 assemblies on a networked drive are not considered trusted, *. That being said,
16 to fix this problem, all we need to do is allow remote sources to be loaded in.
17 Here's how...
18
19 Open up **C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
20 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe.config**. Near the top of the configuration file
21 (mine was line 10) you should see an xml parent of **<runtime>**. Directly
22 beneath that add *<loadFromRemoteSources enabled="true" />*

25
26 Save and close out *devenv.exe.config* and restart visual studio. On restart,
27 you should now be able to debug using assemblies in remote locations.
