Setting reference conditions in Build configurations

Does anyone know how to configure a project or solution build to conditionally pick up specific copies of DLLs maintianed in other solutions

I'm referencing several DLLs which are built in other solutions as class libraries. When I build in DEBUG configuration mode, I want to pick up the debug copies of the DLLs. When I build in RELEASE mode I want to pick up the release copies.

I'm using VS2005 C#. All my solutions maintain built projects in the standard VS paths.

Example

..\MyProject\bin\Debug

..\MyProject\bin\Release

I appreciate any advice or pointers. Thanks.

Peter,
Thanks for the quick reply.

Yes, I have different DLLs for DEBUG and RELEASE, since RELEASE is performance optimized and has the debug switches turned off. And changing all the project references is a ton of clicks and error prone.

Since I only build to RELEASE occasionally ,will the following work I could run a project RELEASE build which has references to all the DEBUG DLLs. Then run a script to copy all the RELEASE DLLs from my class libraries into my ..\MyProject\bin\Release folder. Will I end up with a valid set of RELEASE files

Hans,

Thanks, that's a great hidden secret to know.

It works well when the class library DLLs are in another project in the SAME solution.

But in my case, my class libraries are in other solutions, and they do not show up in the Project tab when creating a reference. I have to browse to find the DLLs.
