devenv building solution doesn't copy third party dll

I have a solution with two projects:

  1. Project_X (class library) with reference to log4net(copy local = true)
  2. asp.net website with reference to Project_X

Project_X has code using log4net, in particular Log:ILog interface implementation. Website has some code using Log from Project_X. When i build project in studio (VS 2015) i get successful build with log4net.dll in Web Site directory. When i build solution using devenv.com in command line(C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE>devenv.com "{path}{name}.sln" /rebuild), log4net is not copied. Why log4net is not copied to Asp.net WebSite when i build solution using devenv ?

PS: i spent a few days looking for answer, found a few post related to this question, but until now haven't found answer.

Have you tried to add reference to log4net directly in to website project. Command line may not check the hierarchy for references while compiling.

And yes. Don;t forget to set Copy Local to true on that reference.
