    <p>Up until two days ago, I was able to use Visual Studio 2010's "Publish Web" option by right clicking on my project and clicking the publish button on the context menu. Now when I try to do the same thing, I get the following output:</p> <pre><code>------ Build started: Project: ELMS, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------ Build started 8/1/2011 3:08:03 PM.

I must have rebooted 6-7 times since the problem first manifested itself, but this time no Object Reference message. Here's the log from the build/publish now:</p> <pre><code>------ Build started: Project: LMS, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------ Build started 8/3/2011 9:10:12 AM.

I had been manually moving the DLLs into the website's virtual directory, then just for kicks I tried publishing this morning, and everything worked out fine.</p>
