how to update references automatically
Hi Folks,
I have a VS Solution which contain 1 dll project. That dll is used in 3 differents projects..
My question is what is the best way to work so that when I recompile my dll, it updates in the other 3 projects ?? Lets say I have a Visual Studio open with that dll and another VS opened for a project.. when I compile the dll, and I recompile the project, is there a way so the project get the lastest dll automatically?
Thanks!

I thought the version number was incremented automatically??
check in AssemlyInfo.vb file under verions information...... if it gets changed, you chang it to old version..
i think it wouldn't be changed automatically

If you specify a version number in AssemblyInfo.vb file, it will not get changed.
If you don't, it will change automatically each time compiled.
