C++ Sub Project Loses Reference to C# Project

Hi There,

Interesting problem. We have a VS2005 project that we are trying to build using the sln2005 build runner.

Within this there is a C++ project which references a C# one.

See the attached png for a screenshot of the problem and some descriptive text. The C++ "xtab" project references the C# "Relational" one.

This solution happilly builds under VS2005 - but falls over when building on TeamCity.

The problem appears to be that the reference to the relational project in the xtab.vcproj looks like this:

    <References>
        <AssemblyReference
            RelativePath="System.dll"
            AssemblyName="System, Version=2.0.0.0, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089, processorArchitecture=MSIL"
        />
        <AssemblyReference
            RelativePath="System.Data.dll"
            AssemblyName="System.Data, Version=2.0.0.0, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089, processorArchitecture=x86"
        />
        <AssemblyReference
            RelativePath="System.XML.dll"
            AssemblyName="System.Xml, Version=2.0.0.0, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089, processorArchitecture=MSIL"
        />
        <ProjectReference
            ReferencedProjectIdentifier="{01945453-41AF-4DB1-A10A-118AF8AF78BF}"
            RelativePathToProject=".\Relational\Relational.csproj"
        />
    </References>

the path is relative to the solution's view of the path not the source control view (or the one that the individual project would see) (see png attached) - so when TeamCity creates it's temporary vcproj - it can't resolve the reference and so removes it - giving you a file that looks like this:

  <References>
    <AssemblyReference RelativePath="System.dll" AssemblyName="System, Version=2.0.0.0, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089, processorArchitecture=MSIL" />
    <AssemblyReference RelativePath="System.Data.dll" AssemblyName="System.Data, Version=2.0.0.0, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089, processorArchitecture=x86" />
    <AssemblyReference RelativePath="System.XML.dll" AssemblyName="System.Xml, Version=2.0.0.0, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089, processorArchitecture=MSIL" />
  </References>

and thus the build doesn't work.

Can anyone see a solution to the problem, other than moving the C++ projects in under the Foundation fodler in source control.

Thanks in advance,

Danny
