Wierd random problem with the bin folder losing assemblies

This happened 4 times, and it seems to be some combination of building the solution or projects two fast (sitefinity project, and a server control project which has references linked tot he SF folder)

So after a build I start getting missing reference errors, check the SF bin folder, and there's only like 6 of the 40+ left in there...NO idea why they'd be missing...it's a quick copy back from the empty project install bin folder, but has anyone ever had this happen at all?

Hi Steve,

This is caused by VS when you choose to Rebuild Solution. The problem I think is because the reference assemblies are located in the bin folder. Rebuild first cleans the bin folder and then builds the project. If you use only Build it should be fine. When you install Sitefinity there is a Libraries folder in the install path from which you can take the assemblies.

Is there ANY way around that?  I accidentally click Rebuild ALL the time :)

Hi Steve,

Unfortunately there is not a workaround to this issue that we could suggest. If this happens, just copy the dlls from another project with the same version and add them to the bin folder. This will fix the issue immediately.
