Taken from: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnbda/html/ tdlg_ch5.asp Don't Alter the Build Output Path You might be tempted to alter the output paths of your projects in order to build to a single folder and then establish file references to that folder. Do not do this for the following reasons: ? It causes the build process to fail with file lock errors when a referenced assembly exceeds 64 KB in size. This problem is likely to be fixed in a future version of Visual Studio .NET. ? You can encounter another problem when you reference an assembly from a folder that is designated as your project's output folder. In this event, Visual Studio .NET cannot take a local copy of the assembly because the source and destination folders for the copy operation are the same. If you subsequently remove the reference from your project, Visual Studio .NET deletes the "local" working copy. Because the local folder is the same as the assembly's original folder, the original assembly is deleted.

I've just tries it in C# and it's a no go. VB seems to cope OK with referencing the .snk from the source directory. Interestingly, if you create a blank project in both languages, the C# one has helpful tips in the AssemblyInfo.cs file on how to create and reference a keyfile and states that it will be referenced from the output folder. The AssemblyInfo.vb file says nothing about signing assemblies or what to do. I've decided to change the structure of how I build stuff in the end and build to the same folder structure as VS does then copy the files else where if needed. This does at least give me the possibility of building debug and release versions in the same script without overwriting them.
