Okay...I'm going nuts about this and don't know why this is happening. Why is "Generation of designer file failed"?
I've a regular ASP.Net C# web application project in Visual Studio 2008. I've one master page under folder called "Master". When I add a new Content ASPX page using this master page (the master page has absolutely nothing in it except the default HTML tags and a form) and save the content page, it gives the following:
This is driving me nuts. :(
I have already performed the following operations but nothing has helped:
- Deleted the webform1.designer.cs file and right click on the .aspx and select "Convert to Web Application". Upon doing this, it gives the same dialog as above.
- Tried devnev.exe /resetsettings with no luck.
- Checked the permission on the folder, I've full permission.
- Tried creating an aspx page without Master page and it works FINE. i.e I don't get the dialog above.
So, I have concluded (without any resolution) that this has something to do with the Master page. I don't know what's wrong.
Is there anybody else facing the similar issue?
Update (12/27/07 1pm EST):
Once you get the error above, it won't go away from the Error List unless you close the Studio and reopen the project. Nuts, really!
