Strange errors
-
Recently updated Visual Studio and when I went back in and loaded a project all was fine until I tried to look at the design of the form. It came up with all kinds of errors to prevent me from viewing the form. Things like my AxMediaplayer was not found; things like ColorPack5,6 and 7 not being found. All kinds of weird things. Finally re-installed VS and things seemed normal again until just now - load a .sln (solution) file and I had the same problem. Closed it down and restarted - had the same thing, but more and different problems to prevent me looking at the form. Thought, Oh no not again, been bashing away at this for more than two days trying to get it sorted. In desperation tried firing up the .vbproj file instead of the .sln file - and hey presto, everything works just fine... So what is going on? Last night the .sln file worked fine, come back to it today and it is NBG. But the vbproj file is fine... Anyhow, anyone else have the same kind of problem, then try loading the vbproj file instead of a sln file.
vbproj? What the hell is that?

vbproj = VB Project file. VB = Visual Basic. Basic = Beginners All purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. Ok? :)

Big mistake. I would love to believe that Mickeysoft did this intentionally because they want to send VB to the boneyard, but the truth seems to be that they are working hard on driving away all developers.

The sln file is an IDE environment setup, how you have your toolbars set, windows, the last bit of code you were working on etc. This states what an sln file is correctly. Solution (.Sln) File[^] Delete the sln file, open the project and setup your environment again. when you close the project you will be prompted to save to a new sln file.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

It does not hold toolbar-customizations; it is a list of all the project-files in the solution. Sounds to me like he simply lost some references - something that is bound to happen if you add references to locally installed products, instead if directly to an assembly in your working-folder.

There is nothing "OK" about a language which includes
On Error Resume NextBad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay... AntiTwitter: @DalekDave is now a follower!

I was wrong about the customization, however, I see one file listed, my project has well over a dozen. I don't wish to turn this into a debate, I did test deleting the sln file and was prompted to save new one, that part works. Cheers!

Because it is not a project file, but a solution - a list of proj files.

Just for fun, and because we're all friends here in The Lounge (with a possible exception or two (they know they aren't welcome actually, but post nonsense anyway)), unzip this original assembly of "projection" from the ... uhm ... package into a brand new target directory. To avoid any cross-contamination/etc. Now, comment out the .suo alone. Make it "x.suo.manifest". NOW open the .sln ... does this (gulp) help any?

Well, it seems pretty random - it doesn't do it with all projects, nor all the time. For instance, opened a project, looked at the design of the form, but couldn't, loads of 'errors'. So just closed down Visual Studio, started it up again and went and loaded the same project file and just sat waiting for ten seconds or so, then took deep breath and looked at design of form - all worked perfectly. Do you think I was just too fast trying to look at the form and Visual Studio was still 'loading' part of the project?

Late to the game and havent read through all the replies yet. There is/was a ticket open with MS on this behavior. Some even had similar project problems in c#. But it was mostly vb projects. The workaround that I found solved this problem was to turn off "allow parallel project I initialization" in VS options. Restart VS and load your project.. this also is supposed to be fixed in 15.5.2. I downloaded it end of day Friday so will be formally testing it this morning. Else parallel project initialization gets turned off again.

I always load my forms into a text editor. Never any problem.

I would like to say that VB is Microsoft's answer to JavaScript, but JavaScript came later. So, JavaScript is the rest of the world's Basic with C like syntax.
