Because you are using an interface (class actually but ...) that is defined
in the CAFE project, your DFROnline project must reference both DFR_TAP to
get the business objects, and also CAFE to get the business object base
definitions.
This is actually quite normal!

Hi all,
We are using VB.NET (VS2K3), sitting on VSS6. I have sorted out a
configuration problem that was preventing us from building from scratch
for
new developers, but now I am having a very odd references problem.
Here is the scoop. I will make this brief, and if more info is needed
please let me know... I don't want to ramble, as the details are vast. :)
There are 3 projects involved in this issue, and it appears to be a
classic
indirect reference issue. The projects are DFROnline, DFR_TAP, and CAFE.
CAFE is a library with a bunch of abstract business object classes.
DFROnline instantiates a class defined in DFR_TAP, and it has a direct ref
to DFR_TAP. DFROnline also sends a message, isNew(), to the new instance,
however, isNew() is implemented in CAFE.
I get the following two build errors:
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\DFROnline\saveFirstSection.aspx .vb Project 'DFROnline'
makes an indirect reference to assembly 'CAFE', which contains
'CAFE.BusinessBase'. Add a reference to 'CAFE' to your project.
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\DFROnline\TAP_RatingsEditor.asc x.vb(84): 'Public
ReadOnly
Property IsNew() As Boolean' is declared in project 'CAFE.dll', which is
not
referenced by project 'DFROnline.dll'.
The screwy part is DFROnline has a direct reference to CAFE.
So, what am I doing wrong here?
Thanks a million for any assistance!
Chris
