No references to a .dll file anywhere in the project - but file appears after the project is built

24 Views Asked by At

I've very new to this so have a question to something I don't really understand - I would like to update a .dll and I don't know how

I have a csproj, when I build this project it produces a bin folder - and in that bin folder is a .dll I would like to update

System.Drawing.Common.dll

This is the file structure where it turns up;

project/bin/Debug/net6.0/System.Drawing.Common.dll

There are no references to this .dll file, no strings, nothing in any json file, and nothing in the csproj file .. for example I would expect something like;

<PackageReference Include="System.Drawing.Common" Version="5.0.1" />

And again nothing in the gitlab repo itself .. only once it's built does this file appear

So how do I go about updating this .dll? How can I tell what version the file currently is and steps to updating?

I hope my question makes sense
