what is the definition of a "circular reference"???
Hi,
We are in the process of transferring our legacy system to asp.net. We have multiple solutions all containing one project each. We have a lot of situations whereby a class in "Solution A" will call a class in "Solution B" and vice versa. Does this constitute a circular reference or does this term only refer to projects which call other projects within the same solution??? We know that visual studio will now build projects which call other projects inside the same solution due to circular references, however we have not run into this error with the multiple solution/one project setup...We are wondering if this setup will cause us any problems down the road? or Should we combine solutions to eliminate these types of calls and be forced to have longer build times???

This results in an endless calculation, and gives you an error.
It can happen if you have a query which is dependant on the result of another and then use both of these queries as sources for another query.
Alternatively, it can be caused by naming objects the same - which is why it is important to generate unique names for all objects that follow a specific naming convention.
