Method '~' of object '~'

[luke324]

Hi everyone.

Can anyone help me? I'm using VB6 on windows XP sp2, and I'm trying to build outputs of my program. It works just fine using the interpreter, but when I try to build outputs it gives me the "Method '~' of object '~' failed to build" error. I've looked elsewhere on the web for solutions, but they mostly involve SQL, mts, XML etc. The only non-VB6 in feature I'm using is winsock. Thanks in advance.

I've used VB6 quite a bit, but can someone please explain to me what the expression "building outputs" means?

It's a feature which lets you compile your project into a .exe or .dll file

Hi,

So you are getting this error While you Make EXE ..?
Or EXE can be made, but you get error while running EXE..?
Not very clear from your post....

The error comes up while the exe is being made. I couldn't get an exe file.

Try using Inno Setup for your output..

OK. I tried reinstalling/updating vb, it threw up the same error. tried building it on a college computer - same error. Then i tried doing a 'run with full compile'. I didn't think of doing this earlier, because i thought it used the same compiler that it used to build projects. Instead of giving me the Method '~' of object '~', it found a typing error in one of my forms. Changed it and it worked fine. Wonder why the compiler couldn't give me a useful error message. I think it's because the line wasn't in the startup form. Thanks anyway. By the way, what is Inno setup?

Happy new year everyone
