 Deployment project not building dependent projects

I got a problem building the deployment project for a simple web app.  To clear the background, I'm using vb.net, but, using just a
"Set up project" instead of the Web Setup because I cannot figure out how to install the web proj into the proper virtual directory.

I set it up like this:  First, created a web project, and developed the basic application on my computer.  Added a Set up project to
the solution.  This set automatically the project dependencies (I checked them afterwards just to make sure) so that the set up
project depended on the web application.

If I build the web application, then build the Setup project, everything works fine(I think).  But if i make modifications to the
web project and then build the setup project without manually building the web project, the set up project ends up using an older
DLL for the web project.  I know it's an older dll because I keep changing the minor version in the AssemblyInfo.vb file and then
(to test) install the .msi file onto my computer.

What is going wrong???

thanks in advance for any replies. they are greatly appreciated.

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
