In VS2005 I have multi-project solution with mostly C# but one VB project to
provide a COM wrapper.

Two of the projects use an external set of DLLs to create a report, using
report definition data taken from an SQL Server. One of the projects
creates the report just fine, but the other project errors out when trying
to do the same thing.

I have checked that the projects are referencing the same versions of the
all the DLLs and they appear to be identical.

What could the cause of this problem?

Any number of things. Your description is far too vague for anyone to
be able to reliably suggest a specific cause or solution.

_Maybe_ if you were specific about the exact error, the exact DLLs
you're using, exactly _how_ you're trying to use them, etc. there's a
_possibility_ that someone could help. But as things stand now the only
choices are:

� Your projects are not in fact winding up using the same DLLs, or
� Your projects are using the same DLLs but not in the same way

Only you would be able to investigate the specifics to determine which
of those possibilities is the case, and what implications that has in
terms of fixing the problem.
