Question

Strange situation.

inside a solution I have several projects. One of them is called Common, other is a web project (not a web application) called Internal.

Internal has a reference to Common, so every time I build the application, the common DLL is copied to the bin folder on the Internal website.

If I change a line of code on a class on the Common project and rebuilt it the DLL isn’t updated on the Internal bin folder (even If I rebuild the internal) resulting in running the OLD code of the Common (If I have a breakpoint on Common, it show a warning saying that the code differs from the original and wont run). The only way I manage to solve it is manually deleting the Common DLL on Internal and then rebuilding.

My question is, how can I avoid it? How can the dll always be the same version on Internal?

Thanks

As requested by OP:

Try removing the reference and adding again though the ‘Projects’ option on the ‘Add Reference’ dialog. This should set up the DLL to be refreshed when it is rebuilt.
