UnSpecified Build Error(s) stopping 'Build Cab File' process

  • Thread starter Thread starter cdg

During a 'Build | Build Solution' I get the following in the Output
window:

*******************************Start*****************************

..
..
..
Preparing resources...
Updating references...
Performing main compilation...
Building satellite assemblies...
Visual Studio is ready to deploy Elevel



---------------------- Done ----------------------

Build: 2 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped

*********************************End*****************************

I then look for the details of the error(s) in the 'Task List' and it
claims "0 Build Error tasks shown" ??? I've tried showing "All" tasks
and still no build errors either?

This solution contains 3 projects and I can successfully deploy it to
my iPAQ 4705 and it runs great, although I do have to dismiss a dialog
claiming a build error.

Is there an option I'm not aware of that will give me details of this
build error. I tried "Option Strict" on the 'Property Pages|Build' but
that did not give me a build error message either.

Help, I need to create CAB files to complete the task and because of
the "UnSpecified Build Error" Visual Studio will not create them!
Thanks
 
By going back into my archives, I've found the day that the problem was
introduced. In searching through the code changes, I discovered that I
added some OpenNETCF.org functionality (battery monitor and WAV
player). Maybe/some how I included the OpenNETCF dlls in such a way
that they work but cause a build error???
 
UPDATE:

Just to test out my theory, I commented out all code using OpenNETCF
and removed the references and the problem disappears. I'm now pretty
sure the problem is with OpenNETCF install or how I reference the dlls.


My application uses the OpenNETCF.Windows.Forms.SoundPlayer and
OpenNETCF.Windows.Forms.BatteryLife methods by adding refeneces to
OpenNETCF, OpenNETCF.Drawing, OpenNETCF.VisualBasic and
OpenNETCF.Windows.Forms.

Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong or how to fix it???
