how can i resolve end of central dictionary error - visual-studio-2019

What causes this error and how can I resolve this error please?
Number of entries expected in End Of Central Directory does not correspond to number of entries in Central Directory.

It turns out I had a corrupt nuget package. I replaced this nuget package and everything worked again.

vs2019 'SharpDX.Toolkit.Compiler' could not be found after Nuget package update

I have an old WPF/HelixToolkit/SharpDX project from 2016 that I started working with. I was having some viewport issues and thought they might be cured by updating HelixToolkit & SharpDX packages. Unfortunately, after the updates my project will no longer compile.
I tried Build->Clean and Rebuild All, but no joy. Still getting these errors:
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error The "SharpDX.Toolkit.EffectCompilerTask" task could not be loaded from the assembly \SharpDX.Toolkit.CompilerTask.dll. Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\SharpDX.Toolkit.CompilerTask.dll' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. Confirm that the <UsingTask> declaration is correct, that the assembly and all its dependencies are available, and that the task contains a public class that implements Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask. MyWPFMagViewer2
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Warning The referenced component 'SharpDX.Toolkit.Compiler' could not be found. MyWPFMagViewer2
I'm really hoping it's something simple, but I don't have a clue what it might be. Can anyone help?
TIA,
Frank
I never found an answer to this problem, but I was able to work around it by re-cloning my project from GitHub, and not updating SharpDX

How do I write a Logary target for my .NET application?

I am trying to get started with Logary. I need to write a new target and I have tried following the following tutorial https://logary.tech/tutorials. I have downloaded Logary.sln from https://github.com/logary/logary, but I am not able to build Logary.sln. When I build it I get 40 errors and all of them say: The command ""paket.exe" restore" exited with code 9009.
When I try to add the nuget Logary (latest 5.0) with NuGet manager I get NU1108: Cycle detected. Logary -> Logary (>= 5.0.0).
When I try following this https://logary.tech/logary-dotnet-quickstart I get 2 errors as well.
So, I am totally lost. What am I missing out? I will provide more information if necessary. I want to write a target in F# for my .NET application that would be sent as an event to Logary's centralised event storage.
I have used FAKE build and it worked OK. The problem was cause by some namespaces, which is fixed in the fake.
I seems that the problem is with the project name. Its name is the same as the referenced NuGet package. So to resolve this problem you should changed the project name and the build will succeeded.

File not found error on ALL files in Blackberry project

I haven't touched any of my Blackberry projects for about 2 weeks now. Today I had to make some modifications, but when I tried to compile and run my code I got an error message like the following (this has been simplified):
JavaBuilder handling CoreException
org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException: File not found: C:\Program Files\etc etc etc\ClassName.class
And this error pops up for every single one of the files in my project.
I'm not a Java professional by any means, but I'm pretty sure this has something to do with my build path. What do I have to do? I did a system restore a little while back don't know if that has anything to do with this.
Thanks a lot.
Problem solved. For some reason alot of the folders in my project's folder were duplicated (ie: mainpackage, mainpackage(2)), so each one of my class files had a twin. Eclipse didn't tell me this, instead it just decided to say "I can't find the files" even though they were there. Not a very useful error message.
So I deleted mainpackage(2) and now it runs fine.
Thanks again for the help.

Delphi "E2161 Error: RLINK32: Error opening file ________.drf " during Build All

I am trying to resolve a problem with a set of packages that apparently have dependency issues. Occasionally during a Build All, I get this error:
Delphi "E2161 Error: RLINK32: Error opening file ________.drf "
What does it mean / indicate, and what is a "drf" file?
It looks like this turned out to be the main problem / solution.
Open up all the packages for which you have source code, and specify the compile option:
'Rebuild explicitly' instead of 'Rebuild when needed'.
In addition to the Solving the 'cannot find drf file' problem when compiling packages article, I also came across Delphi bug report #44134, in which a commenter mentions that the problem stems from having your .dpk files in the same directory as your .pas files when that same directory is in the library path and "rebuild as needed" is enabled.
You thus have three options for fixing this problem:
Turn off "rebuild as needed". This seems to be the most common solution.
Put your package files (*.dpk, *.dproj) into a separate directory and then reinstall the packages. I have done this, with success.
Remove the directory containing your .dpk and .pas files from the library path. Note that Delphi will add it back again in certain circumstances, including when you install/reinstall your package.
Hmm... never heard of them. I just searched the project that inspired the question you linked to, and there's nothing in there with a "DRF" extension. Checking here doesn't turn up anything Delphi-related. But the fact that it's a linker error, not a compiler error, would lead me to guess that the first two letters stand for "Delphi Resource."
Try a search through your project's directory tree and see if you can find anything with a DRF extension. If so, try opening it with a text editor to see if it's readable, and if not, try a hex editor if you know anything about reading binary file formats. See if you can make any sense of it.
If you don't find any, then Delphi's probably getting it from somewhere in the code it's compiling. Try running a grep search for "DRF" on your directory tree and see if it turns up anything.
From http://www.delphifaq.com/faq/delphi/delphi_ide/f157.shtml :
When you compile with packages, you
can specify which packages should be
considered for linkage. The package
requirements of the project get stored
into a temporary Windows resource file
with a .DRF extension.
Whatever that file with the many underscores is, the linker is most probably searching it in what it thinks the tempdirectory is (you can confirm this using filemon). The explanation at DelphiFaq, where a misdefined %TEMP% is the culprit, is as likely as any reason.
Sometimes the problem was file access permissions.
A workaround was run Delphi as Administrator.

How can I fix this delphi 7 compile error - "Duplicate resource(s)"

I'm trying to compile a Delphi 7 project that I've inherited, and I'm getting this error:
[Error] WARNING. Duplicate resource(s):
[Error] Type 2 (BITMAP), ID EDIT:
[Error] File C:[path shortened]\common\CRGrid.res resource kept; file c:\common\raptree.RES resource discarded.
It says warning, but it's actually an error - compilation does not complete.
It looks like two components - CRGrid and RapTree - are colliding somehow. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Other than removing one of components from the project, of course.
Try firing up your resource editor (I'm pretty sure Delphi comes with one) and open the files. Check what bitmap resources are in the two, see which can be the duplicate.
If you need to keep both resources, you need to renumber one of them.
try this: Fixing the "Duplicate resource" error
You'll need to go into the components and rename one of the resources and then update the component code to use the new name. It's a pain, but that's all you can do.
I know this is an old thread, but still worth an update for anyone maintaining old code:
I had this problem and it was due to images in RES files being named the same thing. Delphi7 has an Image Editor which can open RES files. Simply open both RES files involved in the Duplicate Resource error, and rename one of the offending duplicate resources. Save the RES files and recompile. Has worked for me twice recently when I replaced an old component in a Delphi 7 app with a (slightly) newer one.
