    Raise Maximum Compiler Error Limit?

    I am running a VB.Net conversion project and have run into a severe
    problem compiling the application. The project has a main project with
    about one hundreds forms. (Did I say badly structured?)

    The number of compiler errors is limited to 100 approx. These errors
    from various forms all relate to a missing shared component which
    references everything else in sight (VB6 rules!). "SharedComponen tX is
    not a member of NamespaceY"

    I never reach any of the errors for the shared component so I have no
    way of fixing it. I am reduced to trying to compile the shared component
    without any help from the VB compiler (Ugh!)

    Surely this is a bug in the VB compiler? It should present errors in a
    bottom up way, instead of top down.

    Is there any way to increase the compiler limit?

    Nothing necessarily wrong with having 100 forms.

    I would think working out the top and the bottom would be beyond a mere
    compiler :)

    Perhaps you could try this:

    Create a new blank project
    Add SharedComponent X to the new project
    You willl obviously get errors where SharedComponent X refers *out* -
    but hopefully you will also get the internal problems, which you can
    then fix
    Now from the main project, you will be able to fix the 'top' errors now
    that the 'bottom' ones are fixed
