DLL Reference Issue

[jkodroff]

I can't compile my application all of the sudden, and I don't know why.

I have a project with the following structure:

Solution
ASP.NET Project
Business Objects Project

Both my projects reference a libarary called NullableTypes.dll, and it exists in each of their respective bin/ folders. In Visual Studio, the references appear to be ok (no yellow caution/warning icons), yet when I try to compile the application I get something like:

[path stuff here]grantapp2.aspx.vb(159): 'Public Overridable NotOverridable ReadOnly Property IsNull() As Boolean' is declared in project 'NullableTypes.dll', which is not referenced by project 'MegoExternal.dll'.

This happens on every line where I try to use a NullableTypes function/data type, but only in the ASP.NET project - the business objects project compiles fine.

More importantly, my lead developer has the same latest version that I do and can compile the application just fine.

I have verfied that the file is where it should be.

My best guess is that this is a file permissions issue or a SourceSafe issue (i.e VSS corrupting my .vbproj file?), but I need help ASAP. Suggestions GREATLY appreciated.

Try removing your reference and re-adding it.

I appreciate the suggestion, but I have done most of the obvious things:

removing and re-adding the reference
rebooting
shutting down VS.NET
checking to ensure the files are identical via an MD5 sum
Googling my error messages
ensuring that my vb.proj file is the same as my coworker

I have also verified that none of my assemblies are present in the Global Assembly Cache.
