Build Failed - 0 Errors

[guy]

VB2005 ASP.NET
the application i have been working on for some time has just started to
give me a 'Build failed' but it does not display the errors window.
if i display the errors window manually it shows 0 errors, 0 warnings. I
would definitely expect warnings as option strict is off (I am not allowed to
turn it on grrrrrr:-( but that is another story)

i have restarted the pc, no effect

any ideas?

Have you tried stepping thru the progrfor possible errors.

am while debugging? Is IIS up and working properly? Check the event logs

Hello, pweergar,

I see a similar effect in a VB.Net project (v2003). Sometimes the
window shows "bogus" errors -- messages about missing declarations of
designer objects, but much of the time there are no errors indicated at all.

I haven't yet been able to determine what causes the problem, but I've
found that "Rebuild Solution" cures it (at least temporarily).

Cheers,
Randy

Hello, Guy,

Thanks for the report. I'll try that the next time I see the problem.

effect now...

Hello, guy,

I'm sorry to hear that. Removing the .pdb's didn't help with my problem
either. Fortunately, the "Rebuild Solution" action still works (at
least temporarily) for me. It's too bad that it doesn't help with the
similar problem in ASP.Net. I hope you can resolve it soon.

How large is the project? I wonder if the problem would disappear if
you were to recreate it and copy the code into the new modules.

Cheers,
Randy

Hi Randy
its fairly big, about 100+pages

a colleague doesnt get my errors however he gets
"The application domain in which the thread was running has been unloaded."
which sounds like a memory problem

and we also both get a "variable not defined" error for one control (a text
box) that is defined and is visible with intellisense, this goes away if we
do a "build page"

cheers guy
