Project source or published DLLs?

When reusing code (like a Util library you created) are you adding the project to your solution, or are you using a compiled / published DLL from the Util library?

If the assembly is mature and unlikely to change, or I'm sure I won't need to go into it, I would refer to the DLL. If it is likely that changes will be made to the build project, or I probably want to go into it, I refer to the project.

I add the project if I want to have all the changes and the latest version of the library. Then I can update the library project when I update my whole solution.

If I want to be sure I'm using a specific version of the library, I'll just add the dll.



Edit: Except what Mitch said.
