Do you reference other projects or do you reference the assemblies from other projects?
I've been on a lot of teams and I've seen it done both ways? What's your take on the right way to reference other code?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

If they are all in the same solution then I reference the assembly(DLL) as that is what is suggested in VS2015.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Not sure I agree, but maybe I don't understand what you mean.

Usually I reference the project so I can debug into it. Once you've made a release build and deployed it it doesn't matter how you set it up in the VS.
What I have run into (many times) is accidently referencing a DLL that's installed in the GAC and then wondering why my changes aren't taking effect.

I'm with PIEBALD on this one, reference the project so you can debug into it.

+1 reference to the project

Why would I want to reference just the dll if I have access to the project?
I'm only seeing limitations.

suggest it for future polls? Poll Suggestion Page[^]

I thought you could just create a poll. I'm sure I did, once.

Maybe it was like that... then

Reference other projects because the referenced dll will reflect the changes made from other projects automatically when rebuilding the solution. Unless if you want other developers not to edit the code directly from other projects(core project or business logic) referencing the assembly is the way to go.

It depends.
If the "other project" is a utility set that is shared by other solutions, then generally I would reference the assembly.
If it's going to be changed as the current solution evolves, then I reference the project so I can debug through.
My general rule is simple: if it's external to the solution then I reference the assembly - and "upgrade" to referencing the project if it becomes necessary. That way, my changes are not risking other solutions which may depend on something working the way it does now.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

They work fine for me.

Weird - they both return 404 errors for me. 
What IP address is your DNS server returning for the domain? I'm getting 129.97.140.120 from Google.

That's what I get using tracert.

Getting the same using tracert.
But the five last nodes before 129.97.140.120 gets a time out.

I'm not getting a timeout, just a 404 error:
Quote: Not Found
The requested URL /tsp/pubs/index.html was not found on this server.

I've tried in five different browsers; I've tried it with Opera's VPN; I've even tried from a server on a completely different network. They all return the same "not found" error.

Looks like the travelling Nagy problem.

I don't think Nagy has a problem with it.
