Hi,

I have an ASP2.0 app that vacillates between no errors and 45 errors with minimal changes.  When I say minimal I mean that I have added a space to a good file and the compile now comes up with 45 errors in pages that I didn't change, most of them in (apparently) temporary files with a name like App_Web_7rlgx5m3.0.vb.  The temp filename changes every time I run a compile.

I had this problem yesterday so I reverted to the previous days backups and it didn't work the first 2 times, the third time it did.  I was desperate, so I was trying a lot of things hence the third attempt at resorting to previous day's backups.

I was in the process of starting an incident yesterday when the third restore worked, so I just dropped the incident since the compile worked.  I made a few minor changes today and got the same errors again.

Here are the errors on the non-temp pages that I not get.:
Error 1 'CreateResourceBasedLiteralControl' is not a member of 'ASP.admin_admin_master'. C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\EnsignUSDTraining\Admin\admin.master 11 
(code for this is <form id="form1" runat="server">)
Error 2 'Page' is not a member of 'ASP.admin_admin_master'. C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\EnsignUSDTraining\Admin\admin.master 48 
(code for this is <uc1:LoginVerification ID="LoginVerification1" runat="server" />)

(code for this is <%@ Master Language="VB" CodeFile="admin.master.vb" Inherits="NotLoggedIn" %)

Earlier today the local compile worked fine and when I deployed it to the target website the target page resulted in errors.

I think something is hosed in the local environment, but don't know where to go from here.  This is a mission critical site for a client and I need to resolve it soon.  Right now I think I am walking a thin line since minor changes can either result in a good compile, or many errors in files that I haven't changed.

Quick help is appreciated.

Thanks,
