I notice that the DevForce 2012 assemblies are not installed in the GAC. I am using a custom template that is referencing IdeaBlade.Core and was getting an error as the file could not be found. I resolved the error by installing IdeaBlade.Core in the GAC but was curious what the correct resolution would be for this issue.

The correct resolution would be to modify your template to install the DevForce package via NuGet. You can find more information at the following URL.

By a custom template, I am referring to a custom DevForce code generation template which I created per this topic - http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/custom-code-generation-template - Customizing the DevForce code generation template .

I uninstalled DevForce and removed NuGet packages, then reinstalled everything and now it finds the IdeaBlade.Core.dll during the code generation process.

Glad you got it working again, stage.  For the record, the updated documentation for DF2012 on this topic is here:  http://drc.ideablade.com/devforce-2012/bin/view/Documentation/custom-code-generation-template - http://drc.ideablade.com/devforce-2012/bin/view/Documentation/custom-code-generation-template .  The procedures for writing a custom template are the same, but some of the assembly references have changed.
