I just installed the SharePoint SDK on my machine, but I can't seem to find the location of Microsoft.Sharepoint.dll so I can add a reference to it.
It's not in the GAC or C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\ISAPI\ and a search comes up with nothing.
Any suggestions?
Just FYI, I found it on the server where SharePoint was installed at:
E:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\ISAPI
The dll is on the server where you installed SharePoint. You should not develop on a desktop machine, create a virtual machine with SharePointserver installed and work there. See: http://weblogs.asp.net/erobillard/archive/2007/02/23/build-a-sharepoint-development-machine.aspx
It might show up in the "add reference" dialog anyway - 99% of the time you don't reed to know the physical location. Look in the ".Net" list, which is sorted alphabetically.
I assume the SDK installer would assert this, but Sharepoint development also requires a server OS.
