Another case of "dllhell"

Hello,

we have a solution with about 10 single projects included in VS .NET
using C#. There are a lot of links to refered dlls. For every
developer in our company these settings must be done again, because
the links vanish with error or link the wrong dll at startup (for
example debug/release version, wrong path). Sometimes the links
getting wrong during develop phase.

VS seems to load the first dll version that can be found, but I can
see no rule in this behavior. What are the rules?
What is the right way to inlcude these links in PPC projects?
(Not with GAC, because we are developing a single program)


greetings

Use project references instead of file references for all referenced
components that are yours.
