Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Make sure that the IDE Tools are configured to be loaded automatically.
  2. Create a new WindowsFormsApplication.
  3. Invoke the project's Properties window, and go to the "Publish" tab.
  4. Click the "Publish Now" button
    Actual Results:
    Error     1     Cannot publish because a project failed to build.

    Hi Tim,
    We've completely examined this problem, but, unfortunately, it looks as if we can do much on it.
    As we found, the problem occurs if the following code is called when initializing a VS package:

    C#
    DTE EnvDTE = GetService(typeof(DTE)) as DTE;  
     if (EnvDTE != null)  
        _BuildEvents = EnvDTE.Events.BuildEvents;

    This scenario seems to be valid, and we tend to think that this is an issue in the IDE. Here is the bug report we posted to Microsoft Connect:
    Can't publish a project
    It looks as if the only workaround we can suggest is to prevent our tools from being loaded at startup. Please do the following:

    1. From the DevExpress menu, select "Options…".
    2. In the tree view on the left, navigate to this folder:
          Core
    3. Select the "Startup" options page.
      This page level is Expert, and will only be visible if the Level combo on the lower-left of the Options dialog is set to Expert.
    4. Activate the "Load Manually" option.
      This way, the "Publish" feature should work as expected, and you'll be able to work with our tools after loading them manually (via the "DevExpress | Load" menu).
      Thanks,
      Vito
