Odd csproj issue

[nelsonbrodyk]

Hey All,
I am getting an oddity around the csproj files, and am hoping someone has a solution. I will use an example to explain it.

I have Project A, and Project B.

B depends on A, and A was added to A as a reference.

A depends on 2 external dll's. When I build A, these 2 dll's get put into A/bin/debug.

However when I build B, these 2 dll's do not get put into B/bin/debug, only A.dll does.?!

What's more odd, is I have another project doing something similar, and that one works and copies everything over correctly.

Is there a setting or something I am missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I think I found the issue. Turns out if your project references dll's but doesn't use them, then it doesn't copy them over. Is there a way to force it to always send the dlls?

anyone know if you can force to always include the dlls?
