I need to add a reference to a project to do some reflection. But it seems that this project doesn’t have a .DLL file (even after building it).
Can this happen?

If you’re adding a reference to a project that you have the source code for, just add the project to your solution and add the reference to the project. Always prefer referencing projects over referencing binaries if the option is available.
If you’re adding a reference to something that isn’t already a project in the solution, then you’ll (of course) need the binary.
Don’t try to add a reference to a binary that’s generated by a project that’s already in the solution. That’s just silly. 🙂
