Chapter 5: Creating and Building Projects 133
CAUTION
Don’t alter project dependencies unless you really know what you are doing. The results
could be severe in that it can take a long time to fix dependencies in a large project.
The automatic dependency management provided by VS is very dependable, and you
should rely upon it whenever possible.
Managing Compilation Settings
The project property pages include a tab for compiler settings. You set compiler settings
for each individual project. Figure 5-10 shows the C# tab, which you can open by double-
clicking the Properties folder on a project. Some of these settings are advanced topics that
are out of the scope of this book. For example, this book doesn’t discuss COM Interop,
unsafe code generation, or serialization assemblies. I’ll simply mention the setting with a
quick explanation so that you’ll know it’s there if you ever run into one of these scenarios
in the future.
The DEBUG and TRACE compilation constants enable you to use the Debug and
Trace classes, respectively, that are members of the .NET Framework System.Diagnostics
