Hi,

We have an asp.net web application (VS 2005) that multiple developers are working on.  Inside of our solution we have many projects.  Some of these projects have Project References to some of the other projects in the solution.  The problem we run into is that when you go to run a project (Project A) with a reference to another project (Project B) and the referenced project contains an error, it will not let you run it.  Is there anyway to have it set up so that Project A can build even if Project B is being edited and contains a coding error while still using a Project Reference?

Thanks in Advance  

Hi Jalan,

Fortunately or Unfortunately, it wont work that way.  Whenever someone is editing a project, they must ensure that they dont check in until it builds fine completely at their end.

The corollary is, the source safe data must always contain a working (building) project DLL which when referenced doesnt produce errors.  The fortunate part I mentioned is that, people take care before checking-in their code and minimize erraneous check-ins.

The unfortunate part is, people always need to take latest version before building it themselves so that, they always have a working referenced DLL in their local machine.

So the summary is, have a working DLL version checked in to source safe and ensure everybody take latests version of all projects (layers?) before trying to build. 

Hope this helps.
