Unspecified Error when saving in Visual Studio

Every so often I get a Visual Studio error when trying to save a .kprx file.  The dialog box says "The operation could not be completed. Unspecified Error."  with only an OK button.  When I click OK I get the "Save File As..." dialog box and if I attempt to save over the existing file or to a different location, it gives me the original error again.  Basically once this happens, I can't save and must kill VS and re-open my previously saved file, losing any changes that I made.  My project is located on my local drive and I get the error regardless of where I try to save (local or network location).  Any ideas?

Yea, I have experienced it a number of times.


When you have a server code event's .cs file open and you delete the server code event in the kprx file you will get this error often. but i have experienced that for no reason also

For me, this usually happens when the CS and XOML files are left open for extended periods, my guess is that some files get updated, others not. 

 What *sometimes* work for is to go to all the *.cs files, save them and close it. Then do the same for the *.xoml files. Finally, save the kprx files.

Another possible solution which worked in my situation, is to attach the debugger to the process. Once this had been done, I was able to save the kprx file.

I realise this is a very old thread, but I just experienced a similar issue in Visual Studio 2010. In my case the problem was an invalid file path in one of the workflow references. After removing and adding the reference again, I was able to save the workflow successfully.
