A third type of dependency is between Visual Studio projects. When you add a dependency of this type, Visual Studio (or actually MsBuild) will try to build that project first before building the project that depends on it. Unlike in Visual Objects, you do not have to import a prototype library for the output generated by the project. Visual Studio (and our editor integration) will directly consume the output from the other projects.

 

If the other project is also a X# Project, our source code editor support code will be able to jump between the declaration of a type and the place where it is used, even if it is in another project. When your X# project depends on a project in different language (such as C#), we will consume the output of that project like we do with "normal" external .Net assemblies.
