System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute error

System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute error

• KENMx

  I am also running into this problem of:
   
  Error 1 Type 'System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute' is not defined. C:\VisualStudio2005\DataGridView\datagridviewsample\VB\DataGridView\NorthwindCustomerOrders.Designer.vb 17 2 DataGridView
  
  I am using beta 2 version 2.0.50215
  
  MSDN2 doesn't appear to have anything on the GeneratedCodeAttribute or the reference needed.

  I was also getting a compile error about the System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttritbute not being defined.
  
  I had upgraded a pocketpc project from VS2003 to VS2005.
  
  To fix it I had to remove all the references to microsoft's assemblies (system, system.data, etc) and add them again (which upgraded them from v1.1xxxxx to v2)
  
  Its compiling fine now!!

  I am having a similar problem, but with a windows forms application I am building.  When compiling, I receive the following build error:
  
  InternalMyTemplate.vb(line#): error BC0002: Type System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute' is not defined.
  
  The system namespace is referenced correctly, but in the object browser the GeneratedCodeAttribute namespace does not exist within System.CodeDom.Compiler.
  
  To clarify, I get this error three times on three different lines of the InternalMyTemplate.vb.  Each has the same error with the only difference being the line#.
  
  Multiple times now I have uninstalled (using the uninstall utility) visual studio team system 2005 beta 2, its assorted add-ons, and the .net framework (version 1.1 and 2).  I now have visual studio and version 2 of the framework installed, no add-ons, default installs, as simple and as streamlined as I could make it.  Still, I get the error.
  
  I posted about this issue recently here.

  That's right.

  The original problem was because the application was deveploped and tested in a machine with a diferent Framework version of the target computer.

  If you compile an appplication with Framework 2.0.50727 (for example) and then you try to install and test it in a machine with previous version of Framework, you will have this error.

  You ought to be careful about Framework versions in deveploed environment and target computer.

  I am running into the exact same issue as Stefano. I am running version 8.0.50215.44 (beta2.050215-4400) of Visual Studio with version 2.0.50215 of the .NET Framework.
  
  I am getting the following error: The type or namespace name 'GeneratedCodeAttribute' does not exist in the namespace 'System.CodeDom.Compiler' (are you missing an assembly reference )
  
  Was GeneratedCodeAttribute added after that version

  Hi all,
  
     Even i faced the similar problem recently.
  
     I uninstalled the Beta 2 version of Visual Studio 2005(carefully uninstall according to the conventions of Microsoft)   http://geekswithblogs.net/cwilliams/archive/2005/04/19/36883.aspx
  
  and then installed the
  Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
  Version 8.0.50727.26 (RTM.050727-2600)

  Microsoft .Net Framework
  Version 2.0.50727
  
  Now its working well.
  
  Hope this helps.

  What version of Visual Studio 2005 are you using (look in VS Help/About for a version number like 8.0.50nnn.nn)
  Can you reply with the full text of the build errors
  You should not need to use the "HOW TO: Set Sample Settings". The sample should build and run just by pressing F5.
