Windows apps development and dll's...compiling question.
When you create a windows app and let's say it has 3 dll's with it from class library's in your solution, and you need to make a change to something in one of the dll's, I am curious if you always have to use the new .exe as well since it is compiled with the new dll.
Where I work my apps sit on a server that I have some access to for development. If I create an app as described above with 3 dll's and then the app .exe and I need to make a change to a dll, I can't just make that change, recompile the dll and replace it can I? I have to recompile the .exe as well and replace it since the dll change correct?
Just wanting to make sure....

Well, I couldn't recreate it as easily as I thought, but it gave me an error like my a token ID or assembly ID didn't match and asked me about editing something to fix it. Sorry...I know that is vague. I will try to see if I can't recreate it over the next few days since it was a month or so ago that it happened.
Ok,
What king of dll it is ? A regular library ?

yes...just a class library project added to my solution...
It should work ...

Would it cause an issue if I did recompile the whole solution and then only used the new dll? I will be making changes to an app this week and I will try to make it error out...

It didn't error out this time so maybe something was quirky the first time. If I have issues again I will start a new thread and have the error message ready. Thanks...
