I moved my VS project on my local machine. Now when I try to build it breaks because it is looking for metadata file in the old location. How can I change these paths?

Error   1   Metadata file 'C:\somelocation\somelocation\kb.dll' could not be found  

Where can I tell visual studio where to look for these files?

Thanks!

    You can move your project around as much as anything. Normally, the metadata files are compiled within the DLL or EXE files that you create (VB, C#). If you receive this error, it normally means that something must be cleaned and fully rebuild.

    I once had the same error but from a system (BCL!) file after I rearranged some things on my system. It helped to really clean everything, including TEMP, obj etc and restart.
