Worked like a charm! I came across the problem when i was working on a new machine with no prior VS installs.

Thanks!

Thanks for the info. In my case I had only downloaded Visual Studio 2008 express with no previous VS or framework installs. sgen.exe did not exist anywhere. To get it, download and install the .Net 2.0 SDK. Then do as suggested here.

sgen.exe – The “XML Serializer Generator Tool” (why isn’t it xmlsgen.exe?) – is normally distributed with .NET Framework (why normally?)

The location of sgen.exe is supposedly specified by a macro (AKA Environment Variable) SGenToolPath which is used within Microsoft.Common.Targets (Commonly found at C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\%VERSION_STRING%)

Attempts to find where this Macro is defined have failed on my installation, as a result an incorrect default location appears to be used . (Did I mention I don’t use the brain-dead single gigantic C: partition, and so install software to a ‘user’ partition which I denominate as the ‘U:’ drive)

What I did instead was to replace the (idiotically) hardcoded path to sgen within the post-build step (Project->Properties->Build Events) with this “$(FrameworkSDKDir)\Bin\sgen” /nologo /force $(TargetFileName).

Works fine. and doesn’t require you to copy files around (ALWAYS A BAD IDEA !!!)
