I have two separate VS2005 projects, one that contains a number of custom controls and one that contains a WinForms project that needs those custom controls.

Have we gone horribly, horribly wrong somewhere? Some background on the problem: We are using CAB with WPF, and each module has a ui assembly and a "serv...
In VS2005 I have a few C# projects that depend on each other. If project A depends on B (e.g. references it), then I want B to build whenever I build A, assuming B has changed in some way since last built. That's the way it is with VC projects, but for some reason it doesn't seem to work with C# projects. If I clean B and then build A i...

My typical layout is this. svn/remote master test When switch between either the test and the maste...
