Getting it to build in Visual Studio

Closed this issue 8 years ago · 5 comments

I'm pretty new to coding and building solutions but I can't seem to get the solution to build into anything. I just get a bunch of errors. Are there some instructions somewhere for getting this to build?

You are using VS 2015? What kind of errors?

Originally I was getting errors regarding an extra '$' in several files. Now I'm getting errors regarding Microsoft.Web.Administration.
IIS\WebAuthenticationInformation.cs (6): The type or namespace name 'Web' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

If its complaining about the $, you are running < VS 2015. Its a new way to do string.format added in 2015.

Right. I fixed that and I think I found the solution to my other issue as well. I just needed to install some other features from the 2015 install. I'll report back tomorrow.

Ok, I got it to build. I had to disable OneClick in the proj properties.
