Extender Provider failed to return an Extender

Question

We upgraded from .NET 2.0 to .NET 3.5. A co-worker of mine is getting the following dialog when attempting to run the ASP .NET web project under the debugger in Visual Stud

Answer 1

I encountered the

The Extender Provider failed to return an Extender for this object.

message in a winforms designer window.

I'm aware that your question is about ASP.Net 3.5, but in my case I resolved it by:

• Closing the solution in Visual Studio
• Deleting the obj and bin directories from the problematic project.

When I reopened the solution the error no longer occurred in the designer.
