Hello,
I am trying to migrate a project that is created in VS 2005 to VS 2013. What I did is open the solution in VS 2013, and than let it migrate all the sub-projects from that solution. Everything went well, with couple of broken references, but I solved them easily.
The problem is that I can build all sub-projects, except one. That sub-projects has connection with DLL from another sub-project. I get the error:
Error 2400: The type or namespace name '..' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
When I look into the warnings, it says something like this for this particular DLL from above that can not be loaded:
Warning 2409 The primary reference "Path from above DLL" could not be resolved because it has an indirect dependency on the framework assembly "System.Core, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" which could not be resolved in the currently targeted framework. ".NETFramework,Version=v2.0".
What is actually wrong here? Why I can perfectly build my solution in VS 2005, but VS 2013 is asking me for further dependencies?
As a side note, upgrading the .NET 2.0 framework at the moment is not an option.
Also, referencing the first error I have written above, it is not clear to me why it can not see the DLL file when it is referenced in the project (I can confirm that I have using directive and assembly reference added)? I have cleared the VS cache, did Solution clean, couple of restarts but it is still the same.
