When trying to add a reference to a DLL (made with VS2005TS) to a VS2003
project, I receive the following error popup: A reference to
'assemblyname.exe' could not be added. This is not a valid assembly or COM
component. Only assemblies with extension 'dll' and COM components can be
referenced. Please make sure that the file is accessible, and that it is a
valid assembly or COM component.
I have tried Googling for a solution, and I did find an MSDN page
(http://support.microsoft.com/default...1631#appliesto)
that talked about it, but haven't been successful in finding useful info.
One interesting clue as to the problem is that under Selected Components
(inside the VS2003 Add Reference dialog), the Type is listed as "File", not
".Net". Also, I can successfully add the DLL as a reference to the DLL's own
VS2005TS project, just not to VS2003.
Thanks for any wisdom you can impart.
