I wrote an WinForm application work as an anlogue clock in C#. It worked smoothly and showed me the correct time. Then I tried to write the same analogue clock but in VB.There was no error on my code but VS throws an error like "Visual Studio cannot start debugging... ...Debug\VBAnalogueClock.exe is missing". What does VS mean by that? What should I get from this message? Shouldn't VS create this missing exe file when I start my project for the first time?
I recently used the repair function in my Visual Studio Installer that I thought could fix the error message: Microsoft data transformation services designer package did not load correctly. However it turns out there is a new error message when I wanted to load my previous project: The "Package" package did not load correctly.
If I continue the loading, I will receive some other warning message in the solution Explorer saying my project is "incompatible" and "the application is not installed":
I initially also tried to follow some online solution and tried to repair Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools in control panel. It doesn't allow me to repair and says Setup Failed almost immediately after I click on the repair button.
Initially I was trying to add an WCF extenion in Visual Studio but seemed failed and threw the first error message to me. Then when I try to repair, the first error message is gone and I was given the second error message. Now I stuck in there.
I have also checked if SSDT is included in the installer and New project types:
It seems the SSDT is selected in the Visual Studio Installer and all my current project types are listed in the screenshot as well (previously I was able to see Integration services as well but now after the repair I can't).
I'm using Visual Studio Enterprise 2017 on a test server that a few people have access to (I've also tried to restart the Visual Studio and the server but it didn't help).
Hope I can get some suggestions here, really appreciated.
I'm using Visual Studio 2015 to debug a website running on a .NET framework. When setting break points in one of my .aspx.vb files it gives me an error saying:
"The break point will not be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document."
Now I have solved how to fix this error by going to Debug -> Attach to Process then attaching it to the process of my IIS.
The issue is I have to do this every time I stop and restart debug mode. Is there anyway to get this process to automatically attach when I begin debugging?
The ReAttach extension gives you an easy way to ReAttaching your prior debug targets.
Yesterday, I could work with Visual Studio 2010 without any problem. However, today after I turned on the computer and tried to open my project (Web application with Visual Basic.NET) on VS2010 again, I got a message box showing as below:
Later, I found out after I tried deleting suo file that this message box will show up whenever I open some file in Visual Studio so I tried to run the application. Then, I found another message box popped up as below:
And after I close the message box, I finally got this window
It says:
Compilation Error
Compiler Error Message: The compiler failed with error code -1073741511.
I have searched for the solution through the internet. I have found a few methods that might solve the solution such as scanning for virus, using clean boot. I have also tried repairing and uninstalling VS2010 and .NET framework but none still work. Right now, I have no idea what I should to do make it work again.
Anyway, I realized that there is Windows auto update when I turned off the computer. Not so sure if this related to the problem (I used Window 8.1).
After formatting Drive C to reinstalling everything again, I found out that the reason might be Windows update. I have started from reinstalling Windows 8, all necessary programs (except Visual Studio and SQL Management Studio) and all window updates required for upgrading to Windows 8.1.
When I successfully got to Windows 8.1, I created system restore point and try installing VS2010 and all windows update. The result had caused the same error I posted in this thread.
After that, I restored back to original state and installed VS2010 first. Then installed some of windows updates. This time, I decided to install all updates except the ones that have publish date after 10/11/2015. The result is satisfied. I don't get this error again.
Later, Hans Passant help me find the actual cause of this problem. Please see this link:
Why do I get an error for "__CrtGetFileInformationByHandleEx " when I try to compile
I am working on converting our SQL Server database into a SQL database project using Visual Studio 2013. There are a couple files that are not checking in because they are getting the error, "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."
I am running VS as admin, and I have tried closing and reopening the project, but the error continues.
I do not have this file opened anywhere else... What could be causing this?
Thanks
