compile error on wrong line

[bobfromb]

Hello,

I use Microsoft Visual C++ .NET (version 7.1.3088)
Sometimes (with big codes?) when I get a compile error and click on the error, the cursor is placed next to the wrong piece of code. The line number in the error message and that of the cursor do match but the real error is somewhere else.
The same I get when debugging my code, the piece of code the cursor is at is no way the code that is actually debugged.
This is very frustating!

I re-compiled the complete project but this does not help!

Any suggestions?

Thanx in advance

I've seen this happening when the code has mixed line endings.
i.e. /r versus /n versus /r/n versus /n/r at the end of your lines

bobfromb is exactly right... I had ftp'd the file from a unix server in binary mode and had a few \r\n's in the code. I used editplus to remove all of the \r characters, rebuilt, and now my code debugger uses the correct line numbers. thanks bobfromb -- good call.
