Circular file references not allowed

Question

I am having a problem in building my solution in VS2008. Normally, it compiles fine in the environment. Sometimes, it fails with:

/xxx_WEB/secure/CMSManagedT         


        

Answer 1

I had this same error during a major development overhaul. In my particular case this was because I was using a "JUNK" folder where I was dragging and dropping unused or renamed files. My junk folder was being compiled and a file I recently deleted was causing this problem.

I fixed this by excluding the individual file in my junk folder.
