Readonly reference project in Visual Studio?

Question

I have two applications in two solutions in VS2008 that use a common dll, dll code is included as a project in the first application solution.

Is it possible to allow the second solution to refer to the readonly dll project?

I want someone to open a second solution to be able to enter the DLL during debugging, but not able to change the code.

Answer 1

I would just build against dll + pdb. Pdb is enough to enter the code without being able to edit it. You can include pdb (debugging symbols) as a result in the project properties.
