GeneratedInternalTypeHelper.g.cs not found

I’ve been working with .NET 3.0 and VS2008 beta 2 lately and I came across a little bug.

I downloaded Kevin’s Bag-O-Tricks, unzipped it and converted it to a VS2008 project only to find out I’m not able to build the solution. After half an hour of GeneratedInternalTypeHelper.g.cs not found errors, debugging, running through the source code and tweaking the build parameters I gave up and google’d it up and found this thread.

It appears that projects with % in the folder’s name cannot be built because the percent sign confuses the compiler. After removing the % signs from the project folder’s name (WPFSamples%20-%202007-01-11) everything worked like a breeze and the solution was successfully built.

And I’m damn impressed by this bag-o-tricks thingie.

Thanks for posting this. I just downloaded the Bag-O-Tricks myself looking for a wpf date/time control and I got the same error trying to build the sample app. Thanks to you, I only wasted five minutes on it.
