I have one .sln that contains 72 projects. I'm using devenv.&nbsp; while I can compile the .sln from my IDE, it fails in FB6 Build VS Solution Action. Any ideas?

&nbsp;

Thanks

Hi Owen,   
  
 Could you send the output of the ‘Build [VS.NET](http://VS.NET) Solution’ action in so that we can have a look to see if we can see what’s going on. If you’d prefer not to post it on the public forums you can send it into support [at] [finalbuilder.com](http://finalbuilder.com).   
  
 Regards,   
 Paul.

Hello,   
 If you use MSBUILD into the Build [VS.NET](http://VS.NET) Solution action, then you may encounter the compilation issue describe here :   
 [http://sstjean.blogspot.com/2006/11/msbuild-cant-find-secondary-references.html](http://sstjean.blogspot.com/2006/11/msbuild-cant-find-secondary-references.html)   
  
 This is a difference of behavior between MSBUILD and DEVENV

Thanks everyone. I have found the problem. It had to to do source control, we use tfs, and apparently, tfs get latest occasionally DOES NOT get the latest nor ALL the files, thus causing my builds to break my build. To get around this we had to do a tfs get by label.
