CS0579 - Duplicate 'System.Reflection.Assembly[something]Attribute Errors

Going through the second time, I think I know "where" the issue started. In section 2, "Building a Data Access Service" intellisense is not finding the class "Restaurant" in OdeToFood.Core. The error CS0246: The type or Namespace name 'Restaurant' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?). Unfortunately it also doesn't offer the option to add the namespace to OdeToFood.Core. I tried adding the namespace manually, but it doesn't seem to see the other project in the same solution.

Note that this is where these reference errors begin.

I right-clicked on each project adding project references to both "OdeToFood" and "OdeToFood.Core" in the "OdeToFood.Data.csproj" file. Then I also added a single project reference to "OdeToFood" in the "OdeToFood.Core.csproj" file. I removed the problem line:

IEnumerable<Restaurant> GetAll();

And did a build on the solution. Everything works up to that point. But reading the line above, I can't seem to get this project to use the Restaurant class in "OdeToFood.Core".

Note: to move on with the lesson, I moved the files in the OdeToFood.Core and OdeToFood.Data projects into folders under OdeToFood/Pages/.. and now intelisense easily finds the class and I'm able to move on. I would still appreciate any advice about why I couldn't reference the class from the separate projects.

Good Fortune,

I just ran into the same Problem and needed to reference them manually. Also when trying to add them via Intellisense my Visual Studio went into an (probably) infinite loop.

Solution was also just to right click on the Projects and add the References manually. I think there are some shenanigans going on with IntelliSense.
