I'm using VS 2015 Community Edition. I have a Solution with 8 VB Projects, which had been building fine until recently. Now after I do a Rebuild Solution I get an error message (no error code) and for my main Startup Project:
could not find library 'D:\.......\<project folder>\bin\Debug\Proj1.dll'
And indeed that file is not there. This is a new project I added recently, but was working (Rebuild Solution) for a while. The Project (Proj1) builds fine, AND the .dll file is created for the project but it is only in the ..\Proj1\obj\Debug folder,
it is not being copied to the \bin\Debug folder. My other 6 Library Projects all copy the .dll from the obj\Debug folder to the bin\Debug folder fine. I can not figure out why this one is now not working.
Clues:
1. I did change the Assembly Name and Root namespace to match the Project name (in Proj1 Properties, Application tab) recently.
2. In my startup Project for the Solution, in References I reference all of the Projects. The problem Project (Proj1) is shown in the References: and the path for the .dll is from the projects \obj\Debug folder, All of my other Projects shown in the
References: the .dll file Path is from their \bin\Debug folders. I added references the same way for all projects by selecting Add -> Solution Projects then checking the box next to the Project.
3. If I just Build the Project, it only puts the .dll in the obj\Debug folder, not the \bin\Debug folder. If I do the same for any of my other Projects it puts the .dll in both the \obj\Debug and \bin\Debug folders as expected.
I can not figure out what is different about this one Project to cause this.
Thanks for ANY advice.
