Compile a Dll even if no other dlls it refers to exist.

Question

I have several Asp.net, Winforms and Wpf projects and use several dll projects that are common in C#.

Sometimes, for example, when the "Recompile" option is executed, all the dll projects are cleaned, so the compiled ones are no longer in bin\release and then in each compilation of each dll the error that it cannot be found appears. the rest of the dlls, so it cannot be compiled.

How can I make it compile the active dll project even if there are no other dlls that it can reference?

Hi @zequion , Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

You should include them separately in your project, then set them to content and set copy if newer.

You can also use the Xcopy code to make a copy.

For more information on how to copy the contents of a file in VS, you can see Karen Payne's blog.
