Re: Deploy All Dependent Files

Ok, so it sounds like your web service project _does_ reference the class library, so you are getting the class library DLL deployed. But you are not getting the dependencies of the class library deployed. Is that correct?

Yes, one workaround would be to duplicate the references. A simple setup project would also work. To learn why Publish isn't getting all the second-level references would require study of the MSBUILD output, and I doubt I'll have enough time this week. If you want to do it yourself, I suggest you use the Tools->Options and set the MSBUILD output level to verbose; do the publish, then look at the output in the Output window. You'll want to save it to a file first, it will be large.

In particular, there are places where MSBUILD will call project B from the project A build, sort of like a subroutine. Gathering references is one example of where this is done. Look in the output from the build of your web service project for calls to your VB project and see if you can see a step being skipped, or some other reason why not all of the references are gathered or copied.

And if you find out what's wrong, please post the answer here.

Actually, it is a new project (File-New-Project), and it is a new ASP.NET Web Service Application - I understand that references in this project will populate, but I have another project in the same solution, which is a set of VB.Net classes (so another project, another DLL, but in the same solution). I was hoping to figure out the best way to have the references in the VB.Net application get published. I guess it is not enough that the web service project is in the same solution, nor can the publishing component figure out that the web service is dependent on the vb.net dll, and to look for references in the vb.net project. Should I simply add all the same references that are in the VB.Net project into the Web Service project?

Is this a Web Site project (File->New->Web Site) or a Web Application project (File->New->Project)? If the latter, then there should be no problem; the dependency should get copied to the bin folder and deployed from there.

If the former, then I don't know since I never use Web Site projects. Your issue is one of the reasons I don't.
