Visual Studio BUILD Copies DLL from a Referenced Project containing the DLL even when that DLL is Not Consumed in that Referenced Project

Hi @rainersigwald

This may be a Bug in Visual Studio BUILD.

Visual Studio IDE Build Copies DLL from a Referenced Project containing the DLL even when that DLL is Not Consumed in that Referenced Project. But Powershell DotNet Command Does Not Do That and works fine.

Because it is a slightly complicated issue, I have created an 8-minute Video Explaining the Issue (attached here).

I have also attached a Sample Visual Studio Project Solution that is explained in the Video.
