Build with msbuild and dynamically set project references

Question

I have a couple of projects which reference SQL Server assemblies. With SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2008 I am currently maintaining 2 project files which point to the same so

Answer 1

Searching for a solution to the same problem you had I came to the proposed solution of having a Condition on the ItemGroup. But this had a side effect because in Visual Studio references I could see both references, which also impacted ReSharper.

I finally use a Choose When Otherwise and I don't have any issue anymore with ReSharper and Visual Studio showing two References.
