Namespace error

[meckeard]

Hi All,

I have a VS.net 2010 pro solution with 32 projects that make up my website.

Some of the projects are dependencies used by other projects in the solution. For example, Project A has no UI and is used by Project B and Project C.

When I attempt to build Project C, I get the following error:

Error 77 The type or namespace name 'Portal' does not exist in the namespace 'Ivy.ProjectA' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

Here's the line in question:

using Ivy.ProjectA.Portal

Project A is referenced in Project B just fine but for some reason it throws this error in Project C. To make matters worse, this line is fine:

using Ivy.ProjectA.Performance

As if Project C can only see part of Project A's DLL (which builds fine BTW). Again, Project B does not have this issue.

I've rebooted, always run VS.net as admin, removed the reference to ProjectA.ddl and put it back and a few other trivial things but nothing has worked.

Any way to force Project C to really "see" Project A like it does in Project B?

Thanks,
Mark

Are you using project references or dll references?
I would use project references and have all 3 in the same solution.

Also, you may need to build the solution in a particular order.. Project A, then B then C?
