Solucionando Problemas de Referências Quebradas

If your application attempts to use a broken reference, an exception error is generated. The inability to find the referenced component is the primary trigger for the error, but there are several situations in which a reference can be considered broken. These instances are shown in the following list:

  • The project's reference path is incorrect or incomplete.

  • The file being referenced has been deleted.

  • The file being referenced has been renamed.

  • The network connection or authentication has failed.

  • The reference is to a COM component that is not installed on the computer.

The following are remedies to these problems.

ObservaçãoObservação

Files in assemblies are referenced with absolute paths in the project file. Therefore, it is possible for users who work in a multideveloper environment to be missing a referenced assembly in their local environment. To avoid these errors, it is better in these cases to add project-to-project references. For more information, see Como: Adicionar ou remover referências no Visual Studio and Programação com assemblies.

Reference Path Is Incorrect

If projects are shared on different computers, some references might not be found when a component is located in a different directory on each computer. References are stored under the name of the component file (for example, MyComponent). When a reference is added to a project, the folder location of the component file (for example, C:\MyComponents\) is appended to the ReferencePath project property.

When the project is opened, it attempts to locate these referenced component files by looking in the directories on the reference path. If the project is opened on a computer that stores the component in a different directory, such as D:\MyComponents\, the reference cannot be found and an error appears in the Task List.

Para corrigir esse problema, você pode excluir a referência quebrada e substituí-la usando a caixa de diálogo Add Reference. Another solution is to use the Reference Path item in the project's property pages and modify the folders in the list to point to the correct locations. The Reference Path property is persisted for each user on each computer. Therefore, modifying your reference path does not affect other users of the project.

Dica

Project-to-project references do not have these problems. For this reason, use them instead of file references, if you can.

To fix a broken project reference by correcting the reference path

  1. In Solution Explorer, right-click your project node and click Properties.

  2. The Project Designer appears.

  3. If you are using Visual Basic, select the References page and click the Reference Paths button. In the Reference Paths dialog box, type the path of the folder that contains the item you want to reference in the Folder field, and then click the Add Folder button.

    If you are using Visual C#, select the Reference Paths page. In the Folder field, type the path of the folder that contains the item you want to reference, and then click the Add Folder button.

Referenced File Has Been Deleted

It is possible that the file being referenced has been deleted and no longer exists on the drive.

Referenced File Has Been Renamed

It is possible that the file being referenced has been renamed.

Network Connection or Authentication Has Failed

Pode haver várias causas possíveis para arquivos inacessíveis: uma conexão de rede ou uma autenticação com falha, por exemplo. Each cause might have a unique means of recovery; for example, you might have to contact the local administrator for access to the required resources. However, deleting the reference and fixing the code which used it is always an option. For more information, see Como: Adicionar ou remover referências no Visual Studio.

COM Component Is Not Installed on Computer

If a user has added a reference to a COM component and a second user tries to run the code on a computer that does not have this component installed, the second user will receive an error that the reference is broken. Installing the component on the second computer will correct the error. For more information about how to use references to COM components in your projects, see Interoperabilidade COM em aplicativos .NET Framework (Visual Basic).
