.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / IDE / December 2005Reference path changes between rebuild all mode and debug mode
I have an application that has several project references and fixed path references. When I perform a rebuild all, my project references for the application point to each respective project's bin folder. When I debug the application, I can watch the project references redirect to another directory location (all are pointing to the same directory and it will create the directory if it doesn't exist). The referenced dlls are all copied to this directory. I know somehow this path got hardcoded into the solution/project. I cannot find where to change this. Can you please tell me how to get debug mode to use my project reference path instead of the artificial path? Hi Bruce, >When I debug the application, I can watch the project references >redirect to another directory location (all are pointing to the same >directory and it will create the directory if it doesn't exist). The >referenced dlls are all copied to this directory. I think what your application referenced are the private assemblies, am I right? If so, would you please tell me how do you watch the project references has been redirected to another directory location, and what is that directory? If that directory is the application's output directory, then such behavior is as expected. At run time, a reference must exist in either the Global Assembly Cache (GAC, in the case of strong named assembly) or the output path of the project. When you reference a .NET private assembly into your application, you can find the reference's "Copy Local" property is set to True by default, this setting will copy the referenced assembly to your application's output directory.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, these are private assemblies. Nothing is being put into the GAC. I am able to watch the reference path change from their respective bin folders to a Program Files folder I created at one time when I was browsing to the dlls instead of a project reference. The way to watch it is through the Properties page of the project and selecting the references section (this is VS 2005). Somehow Visual Studio is switching to the old browse path when you put the application into debug mode. I can watch Visual Studio highlight the reference and then change the path from its bin folder to the old browse path. When I perform a rebuild all action, it will change it back to their respective bin folders. I really need to keep this from happening. > Hi Bruce, > [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > > This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

OK, I got it, but I haven't experienced this scenario on my side. I suggest you may remove those assemblies' references and their corresponding references' paths from your project, then add them again to the project, maybe it could work around this problem. Thanks!

I have tried that already and that did not work. Could you please contact somebody from the IDE group who might understand what is happening and how to fix this problem. The path it is changing the reference to during debugging has to be stored somewhere. I have searched for it in the files and registry and cannot locate it. > Hi Bruce, > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. Hi Bruce, >Could you please contact somebody from the IDE group >who might understand what is happening and how to >fix this problem. OK, that's no problem. But would you please provide the detailed repro steps or a simple self-alone repro project(zipped) for us to research, if it is not inconvenient to you.(please remove the "online" of my email address alais) Thanks for your understanding!
