HI all

I am using msbuild to compile my web application project. After
building the solution I get the following error message:


Server Error in '/Community' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: type
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of
the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more

Parameter name: type

An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the

If I build my solution in Visual Studio it works correctly. Therefore,
i am assuming this is an msbuild issue. Has anyone experienced this
before and does anyone have a resoution or any ideas?

Cheers, Paul
 
I got the same error yesterday, but it happenes when i deploy the application
to the server.
it works fine on my pc BUT when i build the application with msbuild and
then copy the built files to the server i get the error when i run the
application.
it doesn't give any errors while building though.

i am using the web deployment project add in to build the web application.
