I am asking for help on compiling a C#.net 2008 application since I have not
been able to obtain a successful build with no errors yet.

This application that we need to support has no documentation and the
programmer(s) who wrote the application are not with the company any longer.

This C#.net 2008 solution has lots of project files in it.

You can compile this application in the following modes:
a.debug, b. debug-test, c.debug-development, d. debug-production,
e. release, and there is a class manager configuration file.

I am getting errors like:

1. Error 33 The type or namespace name 'completionImport' could
not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\
TableAdapterManager.cs

I can find the namespace in lots of different *.cs files. However I do not
know what to do get get the correct *.cs file. I am guessing this has to do

2. Warning 2 Could not resolve this reference. Could not locate the assembly
"Q.proxy". Check to make sure the assembly exists on disk. If this reference
is required by your code, you may get compilation errors.

I know that the program would compile without the proxies but I can tell
from the code that I will to use proxies like this.
Thus can you tell me how to resolve this problem.

3. Can you also tell me know to figure out how to obtain a good build
for this soltuion?


Us girls at work have not seen a program like this before since
our most recent experience is using Vb.net 2003.

Thank you very much!

The error messages a fairly clear, and since none of us have access to
the actual solution file and/or whatever libraries you may be trying to
use, there's no way to provide any specific instructions.

The bottom line is that, as the errors suggest, you appear to have not
included the necessary library or libraries corresponding to the types
you want to use, and possibly also are trying to use unqualified type
names without having the necessary "using" directives to import the
namespace(s) for the types.

Once you look at what libraries are actually required and the types
you're using, you should be able to add the necessary references to the
project and/or the necessary "using" directives to the source files.

Note that if you have simply attempted to copy a solution from
somewhere, you may have failed to include all the necessary libraries
it's dependent on. It may not be possible to fix the problems until you
track down the libraries you need and include them with your solution or
at least somewhere they can be used.

Are you sure you have the latest code for this application?

Usually when you get the error #1, it means that a project is missing,
the project is there but the code is not up to date for other projects
that are making references to the project.

Are you running out of memory, which can make the compiler not load all
of the code during the compile?

Are you trying to compile the entire application (all the projects) or a
subset of projects based on a solution (.sln) file? If doing a subset of
projects and not compiling the entire solution first will lead to error #1.

Have you looked at the solution tree in the IDE, expanded the
(References) for each project to see what is missing?

Are you doing Project Reference for each project?

The following are a few more items to mention:

1. In answer to your questions, according to subversion, the open-source
version control software my company is using, I am using the current solution.
2. error 1- you are correct, I am I doing a subset of projects and not
compiling the entire solution first. What difference does it make if I
compile just one of the projects or the entire solution? Why would I need to
compile the entire solution first and then compile a project by itself? For
now, I am just trying to see if I could get anything to compile clean at
first.
3. Are you doing Project Reference for each project? I do not know what
you mean by this? Is this part of a a class manager configuration file? Can
you tell me how to do a 'project reference' for each project?
4. Since I checked out this code from subversion, can you tell me how I can
find the dll that some 'project files' are looking for?

Thank you very much!

"Peter Duniho":

You have kind of answered my question.

The .net solution I have, I obtained from a subversion 'version control'
open-source that my small company uses. I just checked out the .net solution
to my desktop.
I know that I need to add some dll refernces, but I need to be able to
figure out where the DLL are located at. By the name of the DLL files, I know
that I have
the various namespaces I could use and compile. Where you do think the dlls
would be located at? Would they be in the debug/bin directory or the
release/bin directory?

I know that one of the there is at least one 'custom' control that have
been included in several of the projects in the solution. Do you have any
ideas on how I could find the custom control, build them and then add them as
a reference to the various projects?

Thanks!
