I have spent most of this morning trying to add a reference to a VS solution.
-
All I want is to include a utilities DLL in a project, and would it let me? No. I added references to the DLL, I tried producing a new project that targeted .NET 8 rather than .NET 4.8, I added a reference by every means I could think of, I tried adding
usingstatements, I even added the whole sodding utility project to the solution. Nothing worked, my swear rate rose, and rose, I was on the point of throwing the computer across the room. Or worse, contacting MS Tech support ... Then I had a brain wave! And added the reference to the DataLayer project instead of the PresentationLayer ... which is where the code that used the utilities was ... :-O I'm getting too old for this ..."I have no idea what I did, but I'm taking full credit for it." - ThisOldTony "Common sense is so rare these days, it should be classified as a super power" - Random T-shirt AntiTwitter: @DalekDave is now a follower!

I have reported issues to Visual Studio support on many occasions and have had good result most though not all of the time.
