Got this error when I compiled Csla (c#) in release mode:
"sgen.exe" exited with code 1
Here's the solution I found, courtesy of http://blogs.vizibility.net/sdobrev/archive/2006/04/21/212.aspx:
If you are having this problem while building your VS.NET 2005 project in Release mode here is the solution:
Go to the project properties. Click on the build tab and set the value of the "Generate Serialization Assembly" dropdown to Off.
P.S. If you wonder for what is this sgen.exe here is explanation from the msdn: "The XML Serializer Generator creates an XML serialization assembly for types in a specified assembly in order to improve the startup performance of a XmlSerializer when it serializes or deserializes objects of the specified types."
The problem went away as promised. Any reason for concern?
Hmm. I don't see this error. I just rebuilt my current code (basically 2.0.2) in release mode, using VS, and see no errors in the output window or error list.
The only place where serialization assemblies could/should be created would be for the web services data portal channel. There's no where else in the framework that the XmlSerializer is used or is even valuable really.
Just went back and re-tested.
Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite, (trial), version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200), running on a Virtual PC.
With the project property "Generate Serialization Assembly" set to Auto or On, I get an error.
From the Error List window after asking vs2005 to rebuild the project:
Error 1 "sgen.exe" exited with code 1. Csla
From the Output Window:

I hadn't done anything with Csla on this box before, I had been working with it on two other machines with no problems. Then again, I had only worked with Debug mode before. I'll try the same thing at home and report whether the same situation exists on my "main" machine for csla dev, or whether it's localized to my virtual pc at work.
Sorry, but I just stopped using the virtual pc, and the problem went away.
