Re: C++ debug/release builds and project references

I have following questions to your problem:
1. Is your class library in configuration "Release"?
2. How do you add reference in the Winform project? Do you add the class
library dll in "Projects" tabpage(this is what I used in the test projects)
or browse to the ManagedClassLib.dll directly and add it as reference? I
suspect if you add the ManagedClassLib.dll in the debug folder.

I have also attached my sample test project in this reply. You may download
it through Outlook Express (not IE). You may give it a rebuilding on your
side and see if the "BuildLog.htm" still has this problem. Thanks.

Hi Jeffrey,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm not sure I understand your first question - the class library is
in configuration "release" when I have set the solution to release.

I added the reference in the projects tab page.

I downloaded your sample onto my machine and built it. However, before
building anything I changed the configuration to "Debug", since it
opened set to "Release". When I built the debug build, it failed when
it tried to reference the release dll. Output is below.

When I closed and reopened the solution, it built debug correctly -
which was what it was set to when it opened. If I then switch to
release, it builds, but refers to the debug dll.

Maybe I have something set strangely? You mentioned Ctrl+Shift+B to
build - I do F7 or select Build->Rebuild Solution - Ctrl+Shift+B
doesn't do anything for me.

Output from first build, with configuration set to debug:
