    I have a solution with 15 projects.  A library has been upgraded which is referenced in all the project and after the upgrade the HintPath has been lost.

    It now looks at the users local drive to get the dll's , whereas before it  referenced a particular directory (which was in the hint path).

    I tried to add a reference path in Project Properties , but the issue with that is that it puts the reference as c:\development\librayA\ , whereas someone else may have a different directory to there development environment maybe d:\dev\LibraryA.

    Is there a way i can add hintpaths without deleting every reference and re-adding ?

    Can i add a relative path in Project Properties -->Reference Path ?

    thanks

    Hi roby32,

    Can i add a relative path in Project Properties -->Reference Path ?

    After my test, if it is in the same solution path, VS will automatically refer to the dll with a relative path.

    You only need to add a reference in the References under the project.

    This is my tested result, the result is a relative path.

    Best regards,

    Sam
