I've got a very large solution file, which currently has about 100
projects in it. It's not at all feasible to develop using the solution
file as the build time for even the most trivial of changes is
unreasonable. Now most of these projects are pretty stable, and rarely
change, so I would like to create smaller solutions with the various
dependency groups. I am, however, having a hard time doing this. 

 

My problem is that if I make a "Dependencies" solution, which has say,
50 relatively stable projects in it, things at first seem to work well.
I can have File references in my "main" solution referencing the 50
stable projects, and things all work... until I need to debug one of the
50 "stable" projects. 

 

As soon as I load one of my "stable" projects into my "main" solution,
it has bad references. It's expecting a bunch of project references to
the other 49 stable projects, but now it needs to use file references to
them. Equally bad, none of the projects in my main solution detect that
what was a DLL reference should now be a Project level reference. 

 

Even VB6 had this issue solved and working quite well. 

 

Has anyone come up with a solution to this issue using VS.NET ?
