Mysterious change in project reference

We have a solution with 29 projects including a main menu and 28 dlls. One of the projects (Project B) was created by copying an existing project (Project A), making changes including the assembly name, root namespace, form name, and internal code. When the new project (Project B) was added to the solution and a reference to it was attempted to be added to the main menu project (Project MainMenu), the new project (Project B) reference did not show up in the reference list for the main menu project. The attempt to add the reference to project B dll was done by selecting Project B from the list of projects available for reference in the Add Reference dialog. By removing the project (Project A) that had been copied from and its reference, the new project (Project B) could be added to the main menu project, but when its reference properties were viewed, the identity, description, and file path for the new project (Project B)reference were those from the copied project (Project A).

I have been unable to find anything in Project B properties that would cause Project A to be substituted for Project B in the reference list.

One further note is that Project B dll could be added from the Add Reference dialog if its dll was located through the Browse function.

Does anyone have some insight into this mystery?

I reloaded a WinForms project in VStudio 2003 that has been working perfectly fine for months. Suddenly I'm getting strange reference errors AND I can no longer load any form in Designer view. Yet when I start a new project, everything appears to be working fine. What might have gone wrong and how do I resolve it? -- Robert W.

Hello, I'm using A97 (french version) on XP (english version). Since this afternoon, all the Access built-in french-equivalent function are generating a "Sub or Function not defined" error.

Hi, In continuation of the thread I made "perhaps a stack problem? Long calculations - strange error?", I think I now got a "stable" error, meaning that the error always seem to come here now (tried: visual studio 2005 + linux/macintosh gcc)... That's a pretty good thing. I think the error still appears using both gcc and visual studio 2005. Everything is standard C (ANSI C ?? I don't know the difference) - but since so many functions...

Mysteriously, when I step through the application in...

In a case you have Project/Assembly A references Project/Assembly B which References Project/Assembly C. Let's say Project A needs be and references it directly. Unknown to A, B needs project C's assembly but it uses C's assembly dynamically (Load Assembly). Even with copy Local set on all references Project A when built will get project B's output but not project C's. This is from what I hear due to an "enhancement" in VS2005, that...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
