Visual Studio 2010 is presenting some odd behaviour to do with circular dependencies, and as far I’m concerned… it’s LYING; and I wonder if you can help me to sidestep it or point out my ignorance.

Essentially, I have assembly called REM that references nothing other than standard .NET DLL’s, and an assembly called COR that references .NET assemblies and some other projects in the solution (none of which reference REM).

I want to have COR reference REM, but visual studio complains about a circular dependency and I just cannot figure out why.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Clint.

    Make sure you clean and rebuild both projects (You might also try closing and re-opening the project or solution, or even restart VS to make it reload the projects properly).

    If you can’t figure it out from VS, you might try using a decompiler to see what the actual DLL realy is referencing. (See for instance Just Decompile by Telerik, available from the bottom of this page: http://www.telerik.com/download.aspx ) Open the DLL-files, and you should be able to see what each of them references.
