I am running VS2005 and building a .NET CF 2.0 app in C#. Recently I've
been getting the following error when I compile:

The "GenerateResource" task failed unexpectedly.
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance
of an object.
at
Microsoft.Build.Shared.ExceptionHandling.RethrowUnlessFileIO(Exception
e)
at Microsoft.Build.Tasks.GenerateResource.NeedSeparateAppDomain()
at Microsoft.Build.Tasks.GenerateResource.Execute()
at Microsoft.Build.BuildEngine.TaskEngine.ExecuteTask(ExecutionMode
howToExecuteTask, Hashtable projectItemsAvailableToTask,
BuildPropertyGroup projectPropertiesAvailableToTask, Boolean&
taskClassWasFound) MeLib

Typically, I could rid myself of this error by restarting VS2005,
cleaning the solution and rebuilding. However, this is no longer
working. In fact, no matter what I do, I always receive this
compilation error.

Does anybody know what's going on here?

The post listed below talks about another "GenerateResource" issue but
I'm not sure it's related to my situation.
