When I try to build my projects in Visual Studio 2008, web sites won’t build anymore, they hang on this stage:
------ Build started: Project: C:\...\Web\, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------ Validating Web Site Building directory '/Web/Admin/Secure/'. Building directory '/Web/Admin/'. Building directory '/Web/Students/'. Building directory '/Web/'. Validation Complete
And I have to cancel it as it doesn’t complete even after leaving it for an hour. Does anyone have any ideas on what’s going on? Class libraries build fine.
This can also often happen in the event that you have a 3rd party control that is not licensed\registered properly. It may be attempting to display a warning\registration UI that is not making it to focus. We have had this issue on our build servers alot.
