Hi

When Compiling my Web Deployment Project which references a Asp.Net project with a App_Browsers folder I get the following compilation error:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_compiler.exe -v /[PROJECTNAME].csproj -p "[FILEPATH]" -u -f -d .\TempBuildDir\ ASPNETCOMPILER : error ASPRUNTIME: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

If I remove the App_Browsers folder everything works perfectly.

Any help would be appreciated.
