I get an error message :

Exception in executing publishing: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Haven't tried other projects to see if this is greater in scope than the project I'm working on. But, I plan to try publishing in VS 2010. Hopefully that will work.

Hi e2thedsquared,

I have some good news! We've just released an update for VS2012 RC which contains the fix for this issue. You can find more information at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/webdevtools/archive/2012/07/12/visual-studio-2012-rc-web-tooling-extensions-update.aspx.

Thanks,

Hi Jimmy,

I removed the <clear /> and it worked perfectly. I use the clear on several projects, so it is really good to know what impact it has on publishing my projects. And that it will be resolved in the next release.

Thanks for the follow up.

Hi e2thedsquared,

We had a bug in VS2010 RC where any elements under <connectionStrings> which didn't have a name attribute would cause this error, for example <clear />. If you remove the <clear> it should unblock you.

Does this describe your issue? If so, it has already been fixed internally and will be included in the next release of VS2012.

Thanks,

I was able to publish in VS 2010. I tried again today to publish in 2012 RC, am still getting the same error.
