    <p>I have a c# project dll reference to a file that is "installed" beneath the [Program Files] directory on 32 bit OS and the [Program Files (x86)] directory on 64 bit OS. I'd like for developers with 32 bit OS's to be able to build with the same csproj file(s) as those on 64 bit OS's. This means I need to conditionally reference the appropriate root folder. I've attempted to do this within the element as follows:</p> <pre><code> &lt;Reference Condition="$(ProgramFiles(x86)) == 'C:\Program Files (x86)'" Include="Microsoft.Maps.MapControl.WPF"&gt; &lt;HintPath&gt;..\..\..\Program Files (x86)\Bing Maps WPF Control\V1\Libraries\Microsoft.Maps.MapControl.WPF.dll&lt;/HintPath&gt; &lt;/Reference&gt; &lt;Reference Condition="'$(ProgramFiles(x86))' == ''" Include="Microsoft.Maps.MapControl.WPF"&gt; &lt;HintPath&gt;..\..\..\Program Files\Bing Maps WPF Control\V1\Libraries\Microsoft.Maps.MapControl.WPF.dll&lt;/HintPath&gt; &lt;/Reference&gt; </code></pre> <p>Unfortunately the HintPath is <em>always</em> resolved to [Program Files] so it appears that the first condition is not satisfied even on a host machine running 64 bit Windows. I've verified from the command line (via ECHO) that %ProgramFiles(x86)% indeed has the value [C:\Program Files (x86)] on the 64 bit machine.</p> <p>What am I missing here? Why doesn't that first condition evaluate true on Win 64?</p> <p>Thanks in advance, Bill</p>

    1. COWell, I'm missing single quotes around the $(ProgramFiles(x86)) reference in the first Condition, but fixing that doesn't help. I think this is a scope issue, but haven't resolved it yet. **I DID FIND A WORKAROUND THOUGH:** Use `<HintPath>$(MSBuildProgramFiles32)\Bing Maps...`

    2. CORemember that `%ProgramFiles(x86)%` is an environment variable, but MSBuild does not know what it is. Like you discovered later, you should use `$(MSBuildProgramFiles32)`

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
