I had a similar problem with Beta 2 (altough it was VB.NET, not C#).... suddenly getting very weird compiler errors, couldn't compile the project anymore. First I also thought it must be related to the solution becoming too big or a corrupt solution file or something like that. We tried everything, from splitting up the project into more dll's to reinstalling Windows and VS.NET. But it turned out that somebody added an illegal line of code which wasn't detected by the syntax checker of the compiler, but had the effects described. Once the line was removed, everything worked again... perhaps the C# compiler has similar problems - you should check the code which was added just before the problem arises. Try to roll back the code to the day before and add back the code line by line.
Hope that helps a bit... I know how frustrating this can be. This thing stopped our whole development team from working for 3 full days!

What we ended up doing was just using VS.NET strictly for the code editor and designers (which are pretty good), and use other tools (makefiles and NAnt) for the actual builds. Until the VC# project model is completely revamped to deal with projects of at least medium complexity, it's build system is pretty much useless except for the smallest projects. P.S. If you think you're having problems with 14 projects in a solution, try working on one with 32.... [1] And yes, it _does_ happen with separate build directories for each project, too. -- Tomas Restrepo [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can read messages from the DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
