Sometimes I get the warning:

Warning: The dependency 'CAGLibNS, Version=1.0.1423.9562, Culture=neutral'
in project 'CAGPaintDLL' cannot be copied to the run directory because it
would overwrite the reference 'CAGLibNS, Version=1.0.1427.35764,
Culture=neutral'.


What should I do. I think I want it to overwrite since I'm debugging and
want the latest version.

Thanks

Are 'CAGLibNS' and 'CAGPaintDLL' in the same solution?
 
YES

There are about 24 projects in the solution and CAGLibNS is a library that
is shared amoung them.

When this error happens, I use windows search to find all the copies of the
library and then delete them - then rebuild the solution. That seems to work
but I wonder why it happens.

The version numbers don't make sense. Why would it be writing 1423.9562 if
1427.35764 already exists??

Instead of referencing the DLL directly, set a project reference (you
can do that on a separate tab when creating a new reference).
