.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / May 2004Circulat dependency
I am having assembly A with reference to assembly B and B need reference to A. The IDE does not allow it because of circular dependency. How can I solve it (when i cannot change existing code in A or B). > I am having assembly A with reference to assembly B and B need reference to > A.

You can hardly solve problems without any change... Niki > I am having assembly A with reference to assembly B and B need reference to > A. The IDE does not allow it because of circular dependency. How can I solve > it (when i cannot change existing code in A or B). If A and B cross reference each other, you cannot compile them. So, it seems very strange that you cannot change existing code in A or B because this seems to indicate that someone gave you source code that does not compile and prevented you from changing it! This does not make much sense. You have to eliminate the cross references. And the only way to do it is to change the code! Bruno. I agree that the situation seems absurd, but I like a challenge, and so I think it is possible to fix without changing A or B. All you need to do is add a new assembly that wraps (say) A using reflection/late binding, and drop this dll into the reference point that B is using. I can't imagine why you would ever actually want to inflict this on yourself, but it would work...
