| Hi,
I'm building SimPE from the CVS source. I'm very new to C# and Visual Studio. When I load up the project for "WOSimPe - DemoWizard", VS complains it can't find some of the references.
Now, the ones in the project file coded like this work:
<Reference
Name = "System.XML"
AssemblyName = "System.Xml"
HintPath = "..\..\..\..\..\..\..\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\System.XML.dll"
/> But the ones coded like this don't:
<Reference
Name = "WOSimPE - Interfaces"
Project = "{833C3B98-5A2D-476B-8B4B-C9548C1C99B6}"
Package = "{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}"
/>
Is there any reason why they're coded differently? Would VS find the appropriate DLL (once built) if the HintPath approach were used instead?
(I realise I can get it to work by deleting the existing references and adding ones to where the appropriate assemblies have been built. But VS presumably puts these in relatively the same place for everyone. So I don't understand why the dependent projects can't reference them in the relative location.)
Thanks,
-- Peter |

| VS is doing this automatically.
The hint Path looks strange tho! Normally it is an absolute Path to the Windows Registry (which isn't better for multiple developers!) |
