Visual Studio loading the right (x86 or x64) dll!

Question

Hi, I'm working on visual studio in an x86. I would like to build my application for both x32 and x64. But i need to use the sqlite .net connector wich has a dll for x86 apps and another dll for x64 apps. How do i configure my visual studio to load a reference when my configuration is x64 and another when my configuration is x86?

Thanks, Richard.

Answer 1

in your project file in reference use an MSBUILD conditional

<Reference 
       Include="SomeAssembly86, Version=0.85.5.452, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=41b332442f1101cc, processorArchitecture=MSIL"  
         Condition=" '$(Platform)' == 'AnyCPU' ">
      <SpecificVersion>False</SpecificVersion>
      <HintPath>..\..\Dependencies\SomeAssembly.dll</HintPath>
      <Private>False</Private>
    </Reference>
    <Reference 
         Include="SomeOtherAssembly, Version=0.85.5.999, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=41b332442f1101cc, processorArchitecture=MSIL" 
         Condition=" '$(Platform)' == 'x64' ">
      <SpecificVersion>False</SpecificVersion>
      <HintPath>..\..\Dependencies\SomeOtherAssembly.dll</HintPath>
      <Private>False</Private>
