The References section in the solution explorer lists these dependencies:

    System.XML
    System.Windows.Forms
    System.Drawing
    System.Data
    System
    mscorlib

As far as I know, all of these should be installed with the .NET framework.

If it is a dependency of my DLL that is missing and not the DLL itself,
why does the framework not name it? Judging from the multitude of
newsgroup postings, this is a problem which plagues hundreds of people.
In my view, this is a deplorable step back behind Win32, which was quite
capable of stating what exactly is missing.
