Compiler Failed with Error Code 2000

[Mike Fisher]

I'm seeing an error when I try to run/debug a web
service. Although it doesn't happen every time, it does
occur more than half of the times I hit F5. It appears
to be returned by the the JIT compiler as the page is
requested by the browser. The result is that
the "compiler failed with error code 2000". I have
tested the same code on another workstation with VS.NET
and it works fine EVERY time. I'm convinced it's not the
code and I have installed/repaired the prereqs and .NET
twice to try to resolve the issue.

From the Compiler Output, it appears that a temporary
file (passwordclasses.dll) can't be located. This is not
a reference that I added, so I assume it's related to one
of the imports??? I am using System.Web.Services,
System.Data.SqlClient, System.Configuration, System.Xml
and System.Text.

The machine in question is a Pentium 4, 3.00 GHz with 1
gig of RAM. It's new so I just installed VS.NET in the
last week. The problem started yesterday after I cleaned
up some old web directories from IIS.

I have included the entire error displayed below. Thanks
in advance for any help.

Hello Mike,

Thanks for your post. As I understand, you fail to compile an ASP .NET
project sometimes with the error "compiler failed with error code 2000".
Please correct me if there is any misunderstanding. Now I'd like to share
the following information with you:

1. I suggest you to backup and delete your application directory from the
"C:\Winnt\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\Temporary ASP.NET Files"
directory. This will force complete recompilation of the application, and
then check whether or not the problem still exists.

2. I searched in google.com for the file passwordclasses.dll with no
result. If it still complains about the passwordclasses.dll, please locate
it on your system other than the "Temporary ASP.NET Files" folder. Add it
into the GAC with the following command:

gacutil -I <directories>\passwordclasses.dll

I look forward to your result.

Have a nice day!
