How to fix hardcoded references to 'debug code' in Release

Problem:
In 'solution A', 'project 1' references 'project 2'. As such, when 'solution A' is built (debug mode), project '1' creates a dll in /debug, and project '2' referneces that dll. All is good. When 'solution A' is built in release mode however, 'project 1' is recompiled and the new dll is put into '/release', but 'project 2' still references the dll from project '1's /debug folder, and as such is compiled using the older /debug version of 'project 1's dll.

How do I get around the 'hardcoded' aspect of referencing another project in a solution (and by hard-coding, I mean that dotnet seems to hard-code a reference to another project the whatever version of the dll (/debug or /release) you first built to.

thanks

I think the only way around this is when you add a reference from one
project to another, is to use the project tab in the Add Reference dialog
box. The reference follows the solution configuration.

Make sure that your project configurations match your solution
configuration. Do this through Build->Configuratio n Manager option in
VS.NET. The solution config is listed in the drop down list at the top of
the dialog. All projects in that solution should have the appropriate
project config set for the solution config.

My solution contains multiple C# and C++ components as well as a deployment project. In my top-level C# WinForms application, I added references to some components by browsing to the \bin\debug\*.dll of the desired component. How can I make it use a debug build of a component for a debug build, and a release build of a component for a release build? Thanks in advance for any tips or direction,

My solution has 4 projects, and two of those projects have a reference to a ZM_Utilities project (a class library) that's part of the solution.

I have a C# DLL that references a mixed-mode C++ DLL of mine. The mixed-mode DLL compiles either to a debug version or a release version. How can I specify in my C# project that I want the reference to be to the debug version of the C++ DLL for the debug build of the C# project, and likewise for release? I have tried all the avenues I could think of. Surely there must be a way? Right now I have to go and change the references every time I...

Does anyone have experience using project->project references in large solutions? What are the plus/minuses that you have found? Currently, we are using the binary assembly references for our code, but this becomes problematic when you want to build from multiple branches/working directories. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thanks

I am having trouble getting debug and release builds to work properly with project references using C++ .NET and Visual Studio 2003. I created a test solution, with a basic Windows form C++ project. I then add a class library, and add a reference to this project in the first project. When I do a release build, I see the following in the output from the DLL compile: /OUT:"C:\Documents and Settings\Andrew\My Documents\Visual Studio

When I am building a project in Visual Studio 2005, I can create references to assemblies that were built by other projects. The problem is that I don't see how to create a reference that switches between the debug and release builds of the other project, when I switch between the debug and release configurations of my parent project. That is, when I'm building, running, and of course debugging a project, I want to use the debug...
