Re: Upgrading a VS2010 web forms app to .net4

[Glen Harvy]

Thanks for responding .... I have tried a completely new web forms project and it is that project I am now trying to get working. The only thing that I add to the new project is my dll and then as another test the commercial dll. The result is the same. I have the source for my dll however this is no longer the sole issue. The commercial dll has the same affect as my dll. I also distribute this web forms site as a built-in web server so including my source is not my desired option. mmmmmmmmmm.....

The person on the asp.net forum was asking you to add a reference to the project instead of the dll, on the assumption you actually have the source for the project (that generates the dll). Do you? If so, including it in your solution, and just adding a reference to it, will be fruitful, but may not be possible.

First of all I just changed my Target Framework from 2 to 4 in a asp.net web forms application that was working perfectly well in asp.net2 and now I have this problem. My post on asp.net has all the gory details but essentially I have created a new Web Forms application in VS2010 that targets .Net4. It runs fine in the developer web server - it should as there are no changes :-). I then add a reference to a dll that I have compiled for .Net4 and VS2010 freezes. When I use Task Manager to shut VS2010 down I get the following error messages. The message regarding the source file is not displayed until I run Task Manager to shut VS2010 down. For testing purposes, I removed that dll and added a reference to a commercial dll compiled that targets .Net2 with the same results. Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong.
