As you may know, the web project file (.webproj) for a ASP.NET 2.0 Web Application is gone.
So one of the things that I look was how the references (in Everett the entry references were in the .webproj) were handled.
The conclusion is the following:
If you add a reference to a binary that is not in GAC, its going to be copied to the /bin directory.
If you add a reference to a binary that is in GAC, the entry for the reference is going to be added to the web.config:
<compilation>
<assemblies>
<addassembly="xxx.xxx, Version=1.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=xxx" />
<//< SPAN>assemblies>
<//< SPAN>compilation>
If you add a reference to another project, the entry for the reference is going to be added to the solution file.
And thats how the references are handled in Whidbey.

Whidbey RC was out 2 days ago, so I will download it and start playing with it.
The days for the RTM are counting...
