Came here to say this. It’s rare that you can blindly copy/paste an SO answer. Sometimes it looks like you can but then it doesn’t work and you have to not only carefully read the answer but then also fill in the missing pieces with information elsewhere. Usually, you end up reading 10-30 answers across multiple websites before being able to confidently produce a solution.

Almost always, the instant answers are toolchain-specific, like why my C# DLL isn’t using relative paths in the CSProj file (answer: because different VS versions process DLLs differently).
