Begging and pleading for help now!

[Jax]

I have Visual Studio 2002 Standard Edition.
It has been working fine up to a point and now i'm at that
point.
Due to the limitations of the edition i am not using any
of my own .dll's and instead have
a range of .cs classes doing that role for me. Does that
matter?

I have four errors that I just dont understand, I really
need some help on this or pointers to where I can find the
right help.
I can sometimes fix these errors but they are returning
with alarming frequency and at present I cant work because
of errors 2 and 3.

1.The first problem happens occasionally where it claims
that the .pdb file in obj/debug/myApp.pdb is corrupted and
cant be used.
I find that this can be fixed by replacing it from the
directory /bin/debug/identical.pdb.
This still worries me as this sounds like a crap fix.

2.The second problem is less occasional but is one that
i'm tackling at the moment.
When compiling i get: Error in reading metadata from file
x.cs unspecified error(this file (x) changes between five
classes as I exclude and re-include them 3 of which are
classes, two are forms).

3.I sometimes get this error:
An unhandled exception of
type 'System.IO.FileLoadException' occurred in Unknown
Module.
Additional information: The located assembly '<Module>' is
not strongly named.
Last time it disappeared when I removed a reference to
Directory Services which I no longer needed.
This time the reference is no longer there to remove.
Error 2 usually follows this error.

4.And I usually get this error when I close the project:

(It's something like this) Unable to call invoke or
InvokeAsync. And then something about a window handle.

I really need some help with this I will be eternally
grateful to those that can help
me out and point me in the right direction.

Many thanks for listening

Simon,

It sounds like your install of the framework and/or VS.NET could be
hosed. Are you hosting .NET 1.1 on your machine as well? My recommendation
would be to remove VS.NET 2002, and then reinstall. Assuming your code is
correct, you shouldn't be receiving those errors.

Hope this helps.

 

[Jax]

Nicholas,

Thankyou very much for the reply, it has been confusing me
a lot today, I do intend to re-install tomorrow as this
problem keeps appearing again and again.
I've solved it once more by simply moving one file out of
a folder compiling, getting a different error and then
putting it back !?!
I'm just worried that it wont last that long.

A re-install certainly seems to be the best option I dont
think i'm hosting 1.1, I still only have V1 on my system.
Is there any way that my code could be responsible for
these errors though? And how would that be?
I am completely self taught with the exception of a few
books so i've been worried i'm missing out some key rules
about how to design a solution properly.

Once more, a grand thanks and salute for your reply
Nicholas, and I don't think this is the first time you've
helped out. Cheers

Simon,

It is possible that there could be code that is doing this, but to be
honest, it seems like some of the internals of the framework are corrupted
(because of the corrupted LIB and OBJ files that you are getting). I don't
know of any code that would produce those results (I'm not saying it's
outside the realm of possibility, but rather, very unlikely that your code
would do it).

Could be security on the obj/debug directory or the project output
directories point to the wrong place.
Another problem could be if you have multiple projects and reference the
projects then you may need to check the compile dependency order.
But I tend to agree with Nicholas that it is in the code.

From what I can see it looks like you are developing a windows application
(Smart client?)
If so smart clients have a lot of security restrictions, for example
accessing files etc.

Hope this helps

[Grant Richins [MS]]

Are you using incremental compilation? That part of the compiler has proved
to be very buggy and should just generally be avoided and could be the cause
of some of your problems.

Nicholas, Daryl and Grant,

Wow a great response, thankyou everyone!
I'm using a single project in the solution and I'm not
using an incremental compiler so I guess it would be
corruption within my install.
I'm re-installing today and i'll post up if this problem
continues.
Thanks again for everyones help, it's appreciated.
