Deployment project not building dependent projects
Hi Scott,
Make sure that the setup project is configured to build for the particular
solution configuration you are working in. To check, right click on the
solution in the solution explorer and choose Configuration Manager. In the
dialog, you'll see checkboxes next to each project that control whether or
not the project will build under this configuration. It could be that the
setup project is not set to build.
Hope this helps,
Steven
