I have a VS 2017 solution that hase two projects in it (I would like to add others if I can get the problem resolved). One of them produces an .exe file (should be the startup project) and another project that produces a .dll. If I make a change to a module in the .dll project and then initiate a "Start Debugging (F5)" action, I want to make sure that the dll compiles as well as the exe. However, that isn't the case. Changes made to the dll code aren't reflected in that case. If I make changes to the dll code, I have to separately do a build of it before hitting the F5 key.
There are two projects but the one that produces the exe has to be the startup project, but I need changes made to any subordinate dll to force a re-build when I do a solution-related build. In the "Project Dependencies" I tried making the startup project "Depends on:" the dll project thinking that that would make it build, but it still didn't work like I thought it would.
Am I doing something wrong? Or is that how this should work?
Thanks in advance,
Jerry
