MonoDevelop build error “The search could not be f

Question

I am currently developing a C# application to be cross compatible in Windows and Ubuntu. I am developing the software in Visual Studio 2010 on Windows and copying the project to ubuntu and make any modifications that are required using MonoDevelop.

This has been working perfectly all the time but now for some reason it isn't.

When I try to do a search and replace across the entire project which has always worked is now coming up with an that says 'The search could not be finished. Could not find file /myproject/myproject/Microsoft.Net.Client.3.5.

Also when I run the project it says that it builds successfully but when run it looks as if it is running the previous build instead of the latest build.

Answer 1

When I experienced issues with searching for files it was the MonoDevelop parser information files that was out of sync. Try deleting all .pidb files and do a rebuild.
