In Visual Studio 2010 why is the .NETFramework,Version=v4.0.AssemblyAttributes.cpp file created, and can I disable this?

Question

I\'ve recently upgraded to Visual Studio 2010. Now when I build projects I get a line that reads:

1>  .NETFramework,Version=v4.0.AssemblyAttributes.cpp
         


        

Answer 1

I resolved this problem with the following steps:

1. Clean the solution

2. Close the solution

3. Type in run command %temp%, delete all the files

4. Open the solution by clicking the project solution file from the folder where the project has been saved.

5. Do a rebuild on one of the projects. Then close Visual Studio 2010 (yes the entire development environment), and then re-open the solution file.

   It seems that the rebuild, recreates the missing file, but Visual Studio doesn't notice it, so you have to close it down and re-open it for it to properly see the file again.
