SYMPTOMS
When you try to automate the build process by using a
Development Tools Environment (DTE) Automation add-in in a Microsoft Visual
Studio .NET 2002 project, the build process may not successfully complete. When
you debug the project, you may receive an error message that is similar to the
following compiler error message:
error CS0246: The type
or namespace name component could not be found (are
you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?).
The
placeholder
component is a type name or a namespace
name.
Note When you build a project in the Visual Studio .NET 2002 IDE
without the DTE Automation add-in, the build process is successful. You do not
receive the compiler error message when you debug the project.
