Question

I’ve got a project (project A)in vs2010 (c#) that I want to reference another project (.exe) (project B) that I created. Project A is a quick, down & dirty util that I will only use once but I need all the function calls and db calls from project B, so rather than cut, copy, pasting from one to another, I thought I could just reference project B in my references. I am able to point to the .exe and in code i can use it, but when I compile it, it complains about not being able to see it (the infamous “are you missing a using directive or assembly reference?” error).

Does anyone know how I can do this?

Most probably, also it’s hard to say, you have .NET Framework version conflict. One of your projects has .NET Framework version which is not compatible with other.

• Check in project properties of both of them the version of the framework.
• Make them the same
• Recompile both of them

and most probably the trouble will gone.

Hope this helps.
