Project Not Building [worked-around]

[dogfish227]

i have a problem with projects not building. There is no error but the project starts to build and never finishes the output menu displays :

------ Build started: Project: PinBallMaker, Configuration: Debug .NET ------

Preparing resources...
Updating references...
Performing main compilation...

it does this all the time execpt for the first time you try building it after starting up vb.net

at that time it tells you there were build errors, but none appear in the Task List.

if you tell it to continue and ignore the errors the prgram works fine.

The propblem seems to have started after installing a game on my PC which i have already tried uninstalling.

has anyone experienced this problem before or have any idea how to fix it??

thanks,
Nate

it seems to be doing this with only that one project, however i havent made any changes to the code from when i last built it and it work fine (Before installing the Game).

well i figured out what i guess you could call a work around i made a new project and copied all the code into the new project. Still have no clue why the other started acting funny. It cant be ne thing in the code because the same code in the new project works fine.

If there were errors during the first build, you should pay attention to them. Just continuing isn't the correct course to take. What usually happens in that case is the file gets locked, then you can't build anymore. Post the error you got when you first build the application...

well that was the wierd thing it came and said there were errors during the build but then in the task list where it lists the errors there were none listed

Hi.

I have experienced similiar behaviour. Sometimes the IDE claims it has found build errors, but there really are none.

Closing VS and restarting it usually fixed the problem.
I never had to copy everything to a new project.

But it just shows that there are bugs. Especially in 2002.

I have seen it complain about something like this :
Dim A as String="Test"

where the bold/red part was underlined as a syntax error.
It wasn't even a whole word it was just in the middle of everything
