If the dependency graph is more complex than what you described you might have some versioning issues.

1. Set the compiler output to diagnostics to see what’s happening: VS->Options->Projects and Solutions->Build and Run->MSBuild project build output vervosity:->Diagnostic
2. Compile the solution. If you find some issue similar to:

   There was a conflict between "X, Version=2, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" and "X, Version=1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null".

   "X, Version=2, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" was chosen because it was primary and "X, Version=1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" was not.

3. Try fixing that issue using the same dependency version everywhere and compile again.
