I'm having problem to run VB Form project (using Visual Studio 2010
ultimate edition).
When I try to run the project which I already ran, it says:

"Error while<br />
trying to run project:could not load file or assembly<br />
'WindowsFormsApplication1' one of its dependencies. The module was<br />
expected to contain an assembly manifest"

.

After this error im not able to run any Form or any other project. Please
tell me why this error occured and a way to fix this problem.

I have uninstall and re-install Visual Studio five times, I have combed the internet for solutions but have found none.

Thank You.

Is it happening for only for one project? I mean if you create new project and run it without making any change, does it work.

Have you changed the target framework for your build at all (e.g. from 4.0 to 3.5)?

I know... weird question... but have you thought about asking Microsoft about their product?

Solution 1

You need to have an Assemblyinfo[^] file in the properties folder.

How can I do that?

The place where you got this code from should have that file?

I still don't understand you, bro.
