CopyLocal = true, compiler errors

[Claire]

I have a project that uses TChart assembly. I don't think that the
assembly's the problem though.
If I compile in debug mode with CopyLocal set to true, the solution builds
perfectly.
In Release mode however, with CopyLocal property set to true, every mention
of the TeeChart components gives me the error "The type or namespace name
"xxx" could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly
reference?)"
Ive tried restarting visual studio, deleted all the object and bin
directories but it doesn't cure the problem. Ive added the path to the
tchart assembly to my project path references. The TeeChart assembly is also
within the project references.

Any ideas please?

Hi Claire,

First of all, I would like to confirm my understanding of your issue. From
your description, I understand that when you're trying to build in release
mode, the building process failed. If there is any misunderstanding, please
feel free to let me know.

From the error message, I assume that you are building into one output
directory. This might be the cause of the problem. You can try the
following for resolution.

1. Copy solution project folder to another location on your harddisk for
testing.
2. Open the project in IDE. Remove the reference to TChart.
3. Delete local copy of TChart.
4. Add the reference again from the main location of TChart file (released
version) and make sure copylocal is true.
5. Try to rebuild the project. Change it to Realease build and try building
it again.

HTH.
