Hello, I'm using VS 2010 and one day I get this error, "Identifier is too long" when I click on it, it says "The definition of the object is hidden",
I don't know what caused it. It started very suddenly.

I've searched all over for info on this and all MSDN says about it is "Fix: Shorten the identifier".

Could anyone give me a little push on how to fix this? What may have caused it?

Thanks for any help.

Ok fixed it... just in case anyone else has the same problem...

I found the referenced file, assemblyattributes.vb, which was located in - C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Temp\.
Deleted the single line of data, which I guess it thought it was supposed to be an element name which cant be longer than 1023 chars.
Save and all fixed.
