This thread is related to this other one:
https://gitlab.com/ifwis/fisheries/s...g-permit-in-vb
In that other thread I was somewhat misunderstanding what was going on. I'm still not really understanding what is going on, but I am focusing on something different.
I am pulling a project from GitLab from somebody who swears that this is working for them. There are a series of half a dozen references to a third party tool that I don't have. That will be remedied, but it makes sense that those references don't resolve. Following that half dozen references comes all the boilerplate references like System, System.Core, System.Data, and so forth. For all of those, in Project Properties | References, the version number is 0.0.0.0. Naturally, those are not found, because there is no such version for any of them, nor has there ever been one.
Starting a new project with the same framework target, I see version number 4.0.0.0, which works fine. Downloading a different project from the same person, I also see version number 4.0...etc, but for this project, after numerous attempts, the version number is persistently 0.0, which means that the project is unusable since even things like Integer and Boolean are not defined.
So, here are the options:
1) Something is messing up the references for the project. Could it be those six missing references?
2) Something is causing the wrong version to be sought.
3) The whole thing is a red herring and the problem lies elsewhere.
I see that the .proj file holds the references, but not the version number, so the first question I have is: Where does the version number come from?
Another point is that I can't get rid of the bad versions, nor add the correct references, which suggests that the whole thing is, in fact, a red herring, and something else is corrupted, but it isn't anything simple, because this is the third attempt at this same repo, all of which work for the person who created them, and the problem is always the same for me.
