Builds, but not runs

Hi,

My application contains some projects. I can build the solution without
error, but when I try to run it, on reports a
System.IO.FileNotFoundException and refers, that one of the projects can't
find the file or assembly, but the reported project do not holds reference
to the missing assembly!

Moreover, this error occurs in all referenced assemblies, if I do not set
the local copy property to true.

When I set a local copy however, frenquently get warnings or errors, that on
can't copy the file to the run dirrectory, because on could overwrite an
another version.

How can I solve this problem, and why is it occur at all?

Thanks in advance

Gabor

I believe that this is caused by the version numbers set in your
Assembly.vb file. It probably has 1.0.* or something similar. You should
always explicitly set the version number and NOT use the * syntax, because
having it auto increment the version can cause problems with dependent
assemblies. I think you may be experiencing a symptom of that here.

Jeffrey Richter's book, "Applied Microsoft .Net Framework Programming" has
more detailed information on this "bug"

Hope this helps
