✅ Error while Dockerizing an ASP.NET project which references another project.

So i am having an ASP.NET project called ScoreManagementAPI which references another project containing EF Core Entities Models and Context called Entities with the directory structure as in the screenshot. But the thing is when i try to dockerize the ScoreManagementAPI project with the following content inside ScoreManagementAPI/Dockerfile
# FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:8.0-nanoserver-1809 AS build

Anyone knows why ? please help. Also i executed the build command by standing at the Backend folder then running the following line
docker build -t score -f .\ScoreManagementAPI\Dockerfile .
docker build -t score -f .\ScoreManagementAPI\Dockerfile .

Paths inside the docker file are relatvie to the docker file itself, not to the location you are running the command from
