Problem with references in TFS

Hi guys,

I am having troubles with references in a projects under Source Control, VS2005. And because of them cant run TF Builds.

The probem is that when I am finished with editing source code of some solution under SC and it runs perfectly, and I check in pending changes after that, but when some other guy from the development team `checks out for edit ` same solution, even though he clicked that `get latest version` before, he gets errors with references to dll files, custom made components, even though path is the same and they all point to valid and up to date dll`s.

And every time someone else has to work with particular project, he has to remove all references manually and add them up from that same directory in order to build the project.

The biggest problem of all is that the guy who want to make TF Build to run it on a daily basis against all projects in a Source Control, get errors because of that.

Any hint, help, would be really nice.

Greetings from Belgrade..

Did he get the latest of version of the entire solution, or just the solution file itself?

Can you answer a few questions for me:

1) Can you run history against one of the files you checked in?
You want to check that a changeset was in fact created with the changes that include your references, and
you want to get a list of the changed files and their changeset number.

2) Can you have the developer who ran Get Latest run a compare on each of the files listed in the changeset from #1 above and compare them against that changeset version to see if he or she actually downloaded your changes?

3) Are the references to files that are located within the solution or to items that reside outside of the solution? If the latter, are they referenced using a network path?

Thanks,
