Entity Developer 5.7.397
Windows 7 x64
Visual Studio 2013

In the documentation for the template language, it lists the following directive:

<#@ assembly name="System.Data" #>

In my solution, I have this organization:
Solution
DataAccess project
...edml files, templates, views
Extensions project
...some classes I want to add to template
Other projects
....

Is there a way to use relative paths for the @ assembly directive? I tried several variations, but could not get them to work.

I wanted something like:
<#@ assembly name="..\Extensions\bin\debug\Extensions.dll"#>

Or even better, one where I don't have to specify whether it's release or debug build.

In the meantime, I'm just copying the Extensions.dll to c:\Temp and referencing it there in the template.
<#@ assembly name="C:\Temp\Extensions.dll"#>

Currently, it is possible to:
- specify the full path to the assembly;
- specify the name of the assembly, if it is available in the GAC.

We will consider the possibility of using relative paths in such scenarios and inform you about the results as soon as possible.

The possibility to use relative paths to assemblies in code generation templates is implemented.
