Hi,

I've got a Visual Studio C# project and an external reference from
which I get a debug and a release dll, but no source code.

How do I configure my Project that it references the debug dll in debug
configuration and vice versa?

Thx

Karsten

Hi Karsten,

It can not be changed dynamically unless you use an add-in or macro to do it
through automation. But it is not really needed:

1) During development phase:

- If you have the .pdb file of the dll, not only the debug version, it some
exception happens inside the dll you can report the file name and line
number to the author, to help him to locate the offending line. Since you
don´t have the source code, you can´t debug it anyway.

- If you don´t have the .pdb file, do not bother and use the release
version.

2) During test phase:

- Use the release version of your app and the release version of the dll.
Simply put them in a some folder and test them from there.
