PROBLEM

While working in my .aspx and .js files, I frequently (every couple of minutes) get the below popup message, which requires me to hit "No" and then resume working.

At about the same frequency, when I do any of the below actions:

  • change views from the .aspx to a .js
  • change views from the .js to the .aspx.cs
  • click the "Save All" icon

it will give me the circular loading icon, and go to a "Not Responding" status for about 20 seconds. After that time, I can resume whatever I was doing.

Error Popup

Visual Studio Just-In-Time Debugger Popup Window

An unhandled exception (''f' is null or not an object') occurred in typelibbuilder.exe [8844].

Additionally, I do have the following warning message showing up in my Errors / Warnings toolbar.

Error updating JScript IntelliSense: C:\Applications\Web Interfaces\EcomIntranet\Plugins\jquery\js\jquery-1.9.1.js: Object doesn't support this property or method @ 1318:1 C:\Applications\Web Interfaces\EcomIntranet\Blacklist.aspx 1 1 C:...\EcomIntranet\

ATTEMPTED SOLUTIONS

1 I have tried putting the following text in a notepad file, and saving as a .reg, according to this MSDN link here... but it has not helped at all.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\StrongName\Verification\TypeLibBuilder,b03f5f7f11d50a3a]

2 I've also taken all the JS file references to URL's, and downloaded the source directly to the project, so that it gets everything locally.

3 I've also gone into Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> JScript, and unchecked "Auto list members" and "Parameter Information". The error is still happening... however the [8844] error code number does vary.

Solution

  • I finally ran across this page

    http://appendto.com/community/jquery-vsdoc/

    which suggested to download the jquery -vsdoc file, and place it in the same directory as the referenced jquery file.

    I did not need to add a script reference to it on my page, it simply needed to be included in the folder structure... the error has gone away!
