Having issues with Referencing a DLL in a Solution with multiple Projects

pete

Greetings all,

I am going to attempt to describe the issue that I am having in full.
I apologize ahead of time that this may be a long posting, however, I
have found no other solution to my problem.

I am working with a VS2003 .NET1.1 Solution Project. The Solution
contains 6 Projects:
CEC_MT, CEC_UI, Common, CommonUI, FISCommon, and FISCommonUI.

The Common and CommonUI are class library's that are for all intensive
purposes static. We can't/shouldn't change any code in those
projects. The Build Order is as follows: Common, CommonUI, FISCommon,
CEC_MT, FISCommonUI, and CEC_UI.

We currently have one workstation (CPU1) where this project compiles,
runs, and debugs just fine. We are attempting to add an additional
developer to work on this same project. We copied the Source Code
from the working workstation to the new developers machine (CPU2).
All running the same versions of all the controls, Stuido, and .NET.

When we fire up Studio on CPU2, we immediately receive 147 error
messages:

'Public Overridable NotOverridable Property BackColor() As
System.Drawing. Color' is declared in project
'Janus.Windows. GridEX.dll', which is not referenced by project
'CEC_UI.exe'.

The object in question is located in C:\Program Files\FIS. We have
approximately 10 objects that point to that directory, however, the
error is ONLY on this one DLL, Janus.Windows.G ridEX.dll.

Nothing in the source code changed from CPU1 to CPU2. Trying to solve
the issue, we redirected the References to point to the <project>\bin
directory. That causes the error messages to go away, however, this
doesn't help us because the references have to point to the C:\Program
Files\FIS directory.

We checked all of the Project Properties, and the Reference Paths all
point to "C:\Program Files\FIS". Again, this same code works on CPU1,
but not CPU2, and they "should" be identical builds.

Can anyone provide some guidance or something for us to try? We're
going on about 2 months of not getting past this. We only have one
machine where this source code works.

Thanks in advance.

Pete Navarra.

VB.NET Deployment of multiple EXEs referencing DLLs

by: Jon | last post by:

I have 3 VB.net executables that reference the same 3 VB.Net DLLs. How is the best way to distribute the EXEs without putting 3 copies of of DLL on a user's machine. I looked into Private assemblies and the Global Assembly but I am having a hard time figuring them out. Ideally, I would like to have one install that puts all 3 EXEs and all 3 DLLs on the workstation. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Jonathan

Referencing DLLs/projects

by: Oenone | last post by:

Another VB6 feature that I'm missing in VB.NET is with regard to referencing projects vs. referencing DLLs. In VB6 I can reference my support library, Support.dll, and call its functions. If I encounter a problem, I may decide to add the Support project to my project group. The reference automatically updates itself to point to the Support.vbp instead of Support.dll.
