Generation of designer file failed: Could not load file or assembly

Question

I have an ASP.NET web application project which references another project called ModusCore (or Modus.Core). We\'ve had a variety of controls that use ModusCore up until now wi

Answer 1

I have a very similar problem (which I could not solve yet). The Application I have the problem with was converted from a "Web Site Project" though and I can't get rid of the feeling that this has something to do with it. And I am on VS 2005.

Now what I can add is that

a) "sometimes" (I could not figure out when exactly yet) the "Convert to Web Application"-trick works for me (but not always)

b) "sometimes" (same as above) it helps to switch to the designer view, change something and save -> *.designer.cs gets regenerated

I usually try several things in no fix order after I added a control to my page until "something" works.

There is a lot of noise about this on the internet but I could not find a "real fix" for it (yet). One thing I read besides the already mentioned is that it could have something to do with (not matching/not existing) namespaces.

When I checked my application there really were no namespace declarartions in the *.cs-files. So I added them (in *.cs and *.aspx) and for some time thought it did the trick. But sadly by now I know that this was not the case...
