"External component has thrown an exception" build error

I just created a new Web site solution. I added a new folder called
'Admin'. Then I created a new web form in the folder. Without making any
changes to the web form, when I try to build the project I get the error.
The web form looks fine. When I remove it from the 'Admin' folder the
project builds fine. This just does not make any sense. In the past I
created projects with folders ('Admin' among them) and they build fine.
Could someone please give me some ideas on how to troubleshoot this error.
What a meaningless error anyway!

Thanks,
Bogdan

When you face problems you can't explain, try cleaning the ASP.NET temporary
directory.

I have an application I created called "JpegViewer.exe". It simply loads a Jpeg file and displays in on the screen. It works great, in my lab. When I am using it at a customer site, things change. Occasionally, it blows up with an Application Exception. It seems to only die at the customer site

I have deleted the temp directories, rebooted etc and I have isolated it to the OnSortCommands presence. When I use a code behind it doesn't fire any events on the back end and the global error handler grabs it. I put together a very simple example to illustrate the problem below. If anyone has an idea of...

There seems to be an issue with .NET 3.5/Visual Studio 2008 (Team System). After convincing my company to create our latest project in .NET 3.5, this is kind of reflecting bad on me. Problem: Solution will NOT compile. Error is simply: "External component has thrown an exception". NO other details.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
