title: In Visual Studio how to give relative path of a .lib file in project properties
body: <p>I am building a project using Visual Studio. The project has a dependency on a lib file generated by another project. This project is there is the parent directory of the actual project I am building. </p>
  
  <p>To be more clear, 
  I have a "ParentDir" which has two subDirectories Project1 and Project2 under it. 
  Now Project1 depends on lib generated by Project2.</p>
  
  <p>In the properties of Project1, I am trying to give a relative path using 
  $(SolutionDir)/../ParentDir/Project2/Debug 
  But this does not seem to work.</p>
  
  <p>Can you tell me where i am going wrong, or suggest the correct way of achieving this.</p>
