[RESOLVED] Unattended project cannot be visible at runtime

[crptcblade]

Anyone ever come across this compile error before? I can't find documentation on it anywhere.

Never, did it occur in your project? What did you do to raise such error and what type of project are you doing?

I completely forgot about this, but it is happening again.

I am not getting the error, it is someone in my office. So I don't know exactly what they've been doing, but any changes in the code don't jump out as the problem.

It is a DLL project.

Could it be calling some activation of a form or something while the system is locked or going into hibernation?

If the DLL contains a Form or User Controls, the Unattended Execution property cannot be set. If the Unattended Execution is set you cannot add a Form to your project.

If however, you manually modify the VBP file using say NotePad and change the Unattend option (to 1) you will get this error the next time the project is compiled.

Does your DLL contain user interface elements?
What is the Value of the Unattend option in the VBP file?

I went snooping and it seems that someone was screwing with the vbp outside of the IDE. So that was the problem.
