Managing Dependencies during development

[solex]

Hello,

In a project that I am currently developing I have multiple DLL's that
reference other DLL's and controls that reference the aforementioned DLL's.

Since I am in the development phase I will change some DLL's that will
affect the other DLL's or controls, is there an easy way to make sure that
all of the referenced projects have the latest version? I tried changing
the "Copy Local" to False but I will eventually get the warning about not be
able to copy the latest version because it conflicts with an older version.

Thanks,
Dan

when that happens, try to rebuild the solution (as opposed to build)
set the project dependencies - vs.net allows you to specify project
dependencies. you may have to rebuild 2x

if all that still fails, delete all of the dlls and rebuild again. my
directory structure is set up such that i can go to the **root of my
project directory structure** and run
del /s *.dll > del.txt

del.txt will contain the names of all files that were deleted
delete WITH CARE
