Adding DLL Projects...

[simonm]

I have an ActiveX DLL project which is referenced by a standard project in VB.

When I need to debug the DLL project, I add the DLL project to the client project but it doesn't automatically switch reference to the DLL project from the compiled DLL locallly on my machine.

My ActiveX DLL does maintain binary compatibility correctly and I can manually switch references OK. However it is a pain since all my other DLL projects can be added to my client project fine (without having to manually switch references).

Does anybody have a clue?

Do you have 2 copies of the dll file maybe?

Do you have 2 copies of the dll file maybe?

Does it matter though? As long as my DLL project is binary compatible with the DLL my client project references, it should all be hunky dory, right?

If there are two then and the other one is registered then that might be why it doesn't switch to the project instead of the dll when in a project group.

Well, I take your point but the correct DLL registered. At least, my project is binary compatible with the DLL that I am registering in my client project.

Also, this is reproduceable on more than one machine...
