error occurred in deployment step 'recycle iis application pool' :object reference not set to an instance of an object


While deploying using Visual studio, we may get an error "error occurred in deployment step 'recycle iis application pool' :object reference not set to an instance of an object"

Solution:
 Don't get  panic ..Simply restart the visual studio with the solution which you wanted to deploy on to the site

This may help some one.

Thank you. Could not figure out what the problem was. Started happening after I migrated a project to a new solution.

@praveen Battula: i have gone through your link now.but i checked all those scenarios when i got this issue. Every thing was fine. One thing we should know is, Microsoft never releases its product as fully tested product. It always does user acceptance test. I am not telling this is a SOLUTION. But you can consider it as 'a solution from a lazy person'..:P

Anyways thank you for you post.Keep updating your blog. Move on :)

Error: the selected file is a solution file but was created by a newer version 2010

Hi Guys   I faced an issue while opening project solution using visual studio 2010 . It was showing an error -"Error: the selected file is a solution file but was created ...". I knew why this error was coming . it was just because i had opened this solution using visual studio 2012 and did certain modification and  checked in the solution. Microsoft visual studio has strange issue which is "Backward incompatibility" (Seriously strange!!) .When i opened this solution using visual studio 2010 it started throwing the error as mentioned above. So did some work around and fixed the issue as follows: Open the solution in NOTEPAD instead of visual studio  Edit the items as mentioned below           Replace the format version from  12 to 11 and replace visual studio  2012 to 2010 as mentioned in the snapshot Save the file and again open with visual studio 2010. It will start working fine thanks pradeepa achar
