Description

I have two solutions (let's say SolutionA and SolutionB.) In SolutionA I have a "Core MVC" project and in SolutionB there is a ".Net Core ClassLibrary" project. The ClassLibrary project has a reference to MailKit library. MVC project has a reference to ClassLibrary.dll (because of they are in separate solutions it is not a "Project Reference", it is a "Com Reference".) When I run Publish command in MVC project, the MailKit.dll does not exist in publish folder. I have to manually add a reference to MailKit library also in MVC project. Is it a bug, is there a solution for this situation?

Thank you.
