Code generation for property ‘Items’ failed. Error

Asked By BryanMorris 0 points N/A Posted on - 08/14/2011

I am receiving this error message now and then on my machine.

Microsoft Visual Studio

Code generation for property ‘Items’ failed. Error was: ‘Object reference not set to an instance of an object.’

Occasionally, when I try to edit the SDF controls on my Windows Vista machine, which has Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 installed on, throws an error message.

Has anyone else also experienced the same error message on their environment?

Hello,

This error message pops-up in your Microsoft Visual Studio is broad.

Microsoft Visual Studio

Code generation for property ‘Items’ failed. Error was: ‘Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Occasionally when I try to edit the SDF controls on my Windows Vista machine, which has Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 installed on, I do get this error message.

Here is the possible fix for this, I say possible because I am not sure if this will get rid of the error message.

• "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Designer.Interfaces.dll" in "Program FilesCommonMicrosoft Sharedhelp whidbey"
• "Microsoft.VisualStudio.DesignUI.dll" in "Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common8IDE1033"
• "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Designer.Interfaces.dll" in "Program FilesMicrosoft.NETSDKv1.1Bin"

An issue like this needs more information for us to clearly identify, the cause of this issue.

Another feedback and posting with more  details will give us an insight as to what these are.
