Project dependency bug in .Net Studio?

I discovered a strange bug(?) in a .Net Studio solution.

I have a solution with about 10 projects inside it. Many of these projects
reference other projects in the solution. So far, so good.

After making some changes, trying to track down a bug, I noticed that my
changes didn't seem to be making it into the application. I finally tracked
it down and noticed that if I added the project reference in Debug mode,
when I changed to Release mode, the Debug DLL version is still being used.
You can confirm this by looking at the path of the reference. It shows the
path to the Debug version, not the release version.

Am I doing something wrong here? I guess I could try to change the build
parameters so instead of a Release and Debug directory, the compilation
happens to a single directory, but that would be a pain.

Ideas?

Thanks

Did you set the references to the file directly? If so, remove these
references and select the project as a reference from the Projects tab in
the Add Reference dialog. This works correctly on my VS versions (2002,
2003, 2005beta).

We have a huge project, the solutuion spans 50 projects growing. Everytime I want to start the project I have to wait nearly over 1 minute for the compiler to complete building. This is unaccaptable. I thought about loading only the project I need into visual studio and not the whole solution. The problem is that the compiler tells me it cannot find the referenced dlls (project references) although they are all lying in their bin and obj...

I have created a setup project for my application. Within this setup project I need to install another .exe file.

How can I get it to see that...

I have a Visual Studio Solution .sln which contains multiple projects, including an ODBC driver .dll and a client .exe. The client .exe is a simple MFC query tool. Nothing I can find in the client references the driver directly. It uses a connection string to access the driver, and does not provide this string until the user has filled in a login dialog. But when I debug the .exe, I see that the ODBC driver .dll is being loaded very...

I have a solution with 5 projects and I need them to build in a particular order. I understand that setting the project dependencies will allow this, but when I go to the Project Dependencies dialog, the "Depends on" checkboxes are grayed out. Is there something else required in order to enable these? Thanks, -- JT Lovell

My C# code is I18N'ed by appropriately naming and editing .resx files. At execution time, it works. My C++ code is somewhat I18N'ed. When I put UI code in C++ I use .rc files.

Well anyway, at execution time it seems to be working, except when a third party's DLL has a secret dependency. But what about the installer? A Visual...
