References disappearing from CF Project

Hi,

I'm using VS 2003 CF SP1 and have a problem which is reoccuring enough
now to really start @#^%ing me off. I'm using Xceed Compression
Library and when I load the project, I have errors in the output
window stating that the I've referenced an invalid object. It is
listed in the References. If I go to References, remove the reference
then re add it, all is fine. This happened once or twice a week but is
now happening nearly every time I load the project.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a remedy?

Another problem that is still happening is that the forms show as a
module/class reference - if I go to the top line of the code, cut it
out, then paste it, it shows as a form again. It appears to be an IDE
bug.

Kind Regards,

David.
 
Hi David,

Would you be able to share or send me the complete solution you're using
which reproduces this problem? This is an issue I haven't seen with VS.NET
2003. Aside from adding the reference to the compression library (which is
a 3rd party library, correct?), have you made any manual changes to the
code that the designer generated?

Thanks,
--Joe

I've actually similar problems when using another library (log4net). I
always loose references to that assembly, when someone else on our makes a
change to the project file (eg. by adding a source file) and checks in the
changed project to VSS . Next time I get a latest version of the project, I
loose the reference to log4net and have to manually add the reference again
....

I don't think this problem is library dependent ...I assume you'll have this
problem with all third party assemblies in a team environment (and using
source control ??).

Just to add... Similar situation, similar problems here...

Every time I open my GUI solution I have to recompile in order to get all
the forms to be recognised as such... No changes to the designer generated
code are made...

If I recompile external dlls (projects) then in my GUI solution I have to
remove/add the references to the dlls although they are interface/version
compatible... This i also needed sometimes when I switch between
Debug/Release configurations or when working disconnected from sourcesafe...

Cheers
Daniel
