Introduction
When K2.net 2003 artifacts are used in a K2 Designer for Visual Studio project and later the user attempts to deploy the process, K2 Designer for Visual Studio is unable to compile the K2.net 2003 Artifacts.
Error Scenario
 | Note: The steps below describe one scenario under which this error may occur. They are simplified and not all steps are shown or described. |
- Open K2 Designer for Visual Studio
- Create a new K2 project that has one process
- Drag and add a new K2.net 2003 Activity onto the design canvas
- Connect a line from the Start activity to the new K2.net 2003 Activity
- Select the K2.net 2003 Default Server event and add it to the activity
- Build the process, the error described above will be returned
If the user then views the code for this K2.net 2003 Server Event as shown above, the following will be seen:
public void Main(ServerEventContext K2)
{
K2.Synchronous = true;
}
{
K2.Synchronous = true;
}
The issue is caused by the code view that does not display any class references or namespaces.
Error Messages
