HintPath references prob

Post by syuhada » Thu Jun 23, 2011 7:17 am

Hi guys,

i have a problem when add references from another project. I use browse button to add the dll. I checked the hintpath on properties window was wrong. The project cannot run and shows "metadata" error. Do u have any suggestion to solve this issue?


thanks..

Which refernce you try to add:
  • A project refernce
  • An assembly refernce
  • Another one
Would it be possible to send us the entire error message you get? Is this only one special refernce or you get this error on each refernce you add?

Hi,

Did you move the project folder and this folder isn't more on the current location?
Did you check if the file exists in this folder? It seems the compiler doesn't find this file. I would suggest you instead of using a assembly reference, to add a project refernce. This is more safe.
