Compilation fails randomly: “cannot open program database”

Question

During a long compilation with Visual Studio 2005 (version 8.0.50727.762), I sometimes get the following error in several files in some project:

fatal erro         


        

Answer 1

Are you using LinqToSql at all? Perhaps it is similar to the odd error I will experience occasionally as I asked in this question: What causes Visual Studio to fail to load an assembly incorrectly?
