When using VS 2005 Web Deployment Projects to build the project, I got error "Aspnet_merge.exe Exited with Code 1". According to Google, the error comes from duplicate class names in the project, even if the name comes from different name space. Does anyone have work around for this?

I am trying to convert a few DNN 3 to version 4 and was hoping to use the Web Deployment Projects to build assembly names similar to VS 2003. However, each module in DNN 3 has a DataProvider amd SQLDataProvider class. So if you upgrade two modules, you will have dup class names. VS2005 build is a pain in the rear.

I have the same error. After changing option to show verbose output it shows:

It seems that it even is not related to a number of modules.

The error doesn't make sense for me.

I had the same problem. The only way I found around it was to pick the option "Create a separate assembly for each page and control output" in the Web Deployment project property under Output Assemblies.

I finally fixed the problem by excluding  "admin\Skins\menu.ascx“ and "admin\Containers\actions.ascx" from the Web Application.
