Sometimes this works:

Copy all the text from the module to notepad, 
delete the module, 
compact and repair, 
paste text into a new module,
then compile

Subject: [dba-VB] VS 2010 C# Referencing Ionic.Zip

I use the Ionic.Zip library to zip files up.  We have consistently had
issues making references like this work across all of our projects, to the
point where we created a References directory under the Projects directory
and placed all of the DLLs into that for source control.  This allows us to
"pull" these files and get the latest versions, and then any project
references that same physical file.

I am still having a problem with this Ionic.Zip.Dll file.  I reference it.
The reference does not give the "broken" icon.  Using works just fine.  But
when the line of code hits the call into the function where it would
actually create a variable, it stops and complains that the DLL file cannot
be found.

I am a bit confused for several reasons.  First why is it stopping on the
function call rather than down in the function itself where the zip object
is dimensioned?  Second why is it complaining at all when the rest of the
program apparently thinks things are fine?  No compile errors, no using
complaints no references complaints.

Weird!  I have seen places where the using collection in the project says
the thing (suddenly) cannot be found, and I have to delete and re-reference
the object, but in this case there is just no indication anywhere that there
is a problem until we hit the function call to the function inside of which
I do the compression stuff.

Any ideas?
