migration problem VS2005 -> VS2010 - missing assembly reference error

I recently migrated a solution from VS2005 to VS2010. The solution is composed by about 20 project. One of them is in VB.net, the others are C#. In VS2005 everything was fine, that is I was able to reference the VB.net project into the C Sharp projects. Now I cannot anymore. The strange thing is that when I open in the editor a C# class referencing the VB.net dll, I get a compile error that sounds more or less like this: "he type or namespace name 'VB.netProject' does not exist in the namespace 'Solution Namespace' (are you missing an assembly reference?)"

... and no, the assembly reference is there indeed!

However, when I close the files in the editor and try to compile again, the operation succeeds and the executable that I get works perfectly like it did in VS2005.

Is there a way I can manage to see the VB.net component in the editor? I am sure I am missing something, but I don't know what! :-)

Many thanks in advance for your help,

John

Unfortunately the visual studio sets (after the migration) the target framework to .NET Framework 4 Client Profile. If this target framework is set, some namespace could not be found (=> because the client profile doesn't contain this classes). Please verify, if your project has set this target framework. You will find this setting under the project properties.

Kind regards, patrick
