Re: Circular dependencies

If you have 3 projects, A depends on B, B depends on C, C depends on A....

Who should visual studio compile first?

Visual studio bases it's build order on references. It will first compile a project that doesn't depend on any other projects in the solution. If Each project depends on at least someone else, it doesn't know who to compile first.

I suspect you came into a circular dependency after you'd already compiled earlier versions of the dlls..... just try to imagine if you had only source code, how you would compile the dlls.



Hello Joe M.,

Hello.

Can someone explain to me or point me to documentation about why
circular dependencies are not allowed between projects in Visual C#
.NET?  I'm assuming it's because of the CLR and how the compiler
generates assemblies but I'm having trouble finding specifics on MSDN
and the web.

I'm embarrassed at how basic this question could be but I'm coming
from Java (and no C++) and I'd like to understand it.

Thank you for your consideration.

Joe
