For some reason my project is failing during build. I modified absolutly nothing, just wanted to run it and its giving me a build failed error. Here is the best part, I have 0 errors, 0 warnings, and 0 messages. All it says is build failed at the very bottom of my IDE. I've tried removing the bin & obj folders and building again, but it'll still fail.

I tried googling an answer but didnt really get any solutions, anyone experience this problem before or know any possible solutions? I just keep telling myself "I love programming...I love programming" because its the small things like this that make me wanna beat my head into a wall.

Ok, I fixed the problem. Not getting any error messages during a build failure is due to the "MSBuild build output verbosity" set to a low or off level.

Once I changed the MSBUILD option to a higher one I got my error messages.

For those who stumble across this same problem in the future here are some instructions on getting those error messages to appear.


TOOLS > PROJECTS AND SOLUTIONS > BUILD AND RUN > "MSBuild project build output verbosity"

There is a drop down box below, set it to an option thats NOT Quiet or Minimal.

Mine was on Quiet and I set it to Normal and began receiving build error messages. Now I dont guarentee it'll help in all situations, but hopfully most!
