Say I have a SqlClr project called MySqlClrProject, which builds the file MySqlClrProject.dll. I've observed that the Build output file name can be either MySqlClrProject or MySqlClrProject.dll, but either way will produce a file named MySqlClrProject.dll. I also have another project in my solution, called MyClassLibrary, which has a project reference to MySqlClrProject. When I build MyClassLibrary, I'll see this error:
CS0006: Metadata file 'C:\devStuff\MySqlClrProject\bin\Debug\MySqlClrProject' could not be found
Before that, in the output, I see this:
ResolveAssemblyReferences: 5> Primary reference "MySqlClrProject".
5> Could not find dependent files. Expected file "C:\devStuff\MySqlClrProject\bin\Debug\MySqlClrProject" does not exist.
5> Could not find dependent files. Expected file "C:\devStuff\MySqlClrProject\bin\Debug\MySqlClrProject" does not exist.
5> Resolved file path is "C:\devStuff\MySqlClrProject\bin\Debug\MySqlClrProject".
5> Reference found at search path location "".
5> Found related file "C:\devStuff\MySqlClrProject\bin\Debug\MySqlClrProject.pdb".
5> Found related file "C:\devStuff\MySqlClrProject\bin\Debug\MySqlClrProject.xml".
5> The ImageRuntimeVersion for this reference is "".
If I add a post build step that copies MySqlClrProject.dll to MySqlClrProject, all is well. Alternatively, if I reference the dll directly, as opposed to using a project reference, then, again, it works fine. I'd really rather not go either of those routes...
Anyway, has anyone else seen this? Anything I might be doing wrong? I know VS2012 is very new, and they've changed a lot when it comes to SqlClr projects, but I'm wondering if the problem is on my side or Microsoft's.
Thanks.
