Answer 1

Based on what you said in the comments, I would say it's most definitely something up with Project A.

Perhaps these steps will help fix it:

1. Remove the reference to project B and save
2. Crack open the .csproj file with notepad or something
3. Look for any references to Project B in there (maybe a hintpath node) and remove the node.
4. If Project A happens to be an ASP.NET project, look in your web.config or your aspx page headers for any references to Project B.

Once you remove all references to the project, reload the project as bottlenecked suggested and see if that fixes it for you.
