This I don't understand.  Since the classes and user controls are all in the
same 'project', where would it be getting this old information from?  The
last time it was built successfully?

The project holds a few user controls - all have to do with graphing.  There
are many classes that the user controls share (GraphConfiguration being one
of them).  Since the user controls were all sharing these, I figured I'd
just put them into the same project as the user controls.  I guess I will
move them to their own project.

No, not really.  Nor do the classes 'do' anything.  The classes involved
here are really basic - just holding 'groups' of properties that the graphs
use.

I'll give this a whirl as well and see what happens.  Though any further
comment on my first response above (the one I said I didn't understand)
would be great.
