ASP.NET : The compiler failed with error code -532462766

Question

I currently work on an ASP.NET application that contains 2 projects in its solution: a Web Application and a WebAPI. (let’s call them “projectWeb” and “projectAPI” )

I‘ve tried to include a reference to “projectWeb” into “projectAPI”.

When I build “projectAPI” the browser displays this message :

Compilation Error

Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to >service this request. Please review the following specific error details and >modify your source code appropriately.

Compiler Error Message: The compiler failed with error code -532462766.

When I delete the reference there is no error anymore.

What can I do?

Thank you all

Realize this is an old question but wanted to share some info that helped me resolve this same error. I couldn't narrow down the issue to which .dll was causing the problem but everything resolved once the nuget packages were removed. Something was causing the error so removing and re-adding packages did the trick. Spent countless hours on this error so hope this helps someone else who runs across it.
