# ABP Dependency Rules

Know which project may reference which, before you add it

## What this does

Projects in an ABP solution are not all allowed to reference one another, and it is easy to add a reference that points the wrong way. This spells out which project may depend on which, and which crossings to avoid. Reach for it before adding a reference, or while reviewing how a solution is arranged.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Check a new project reference before adding it
- Spot a reference pointing the wrong way
- Review how a solution's projects are separated

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About ABP Dependency Rules
