Visual Studio Lightswitch

[Rosy Demorest]

CheersI've a problem with a deployed Visual Studio Light Switch Application. If i start the application out of my visual studio it runs without problems. After i deployed it to our IIS i get the following error:

I don't really know whats missing. The application has been upgraded from a VS2010 to a VS2012 solution. After i fixed some upcoming build errors after the upgrade the program seems to run without problems in Debug out of Visual Studio.

I was recently working on a Lightswitch application to integrate some SQL assets with SharePoint document libraries through a provider hosted app, and hit a snag. Anyone who has worked with Lightswitch knows the pain of using the visual designer for screen development. After working on a product for a few weeks, I ran into an issue where Visual Studio 2013 failed to completely load my Lightswitch solution. I looked at the bottom of the screen and noticed an output message that said "Waiting for parse to complete". It's not a helpful message, for sure, and a Google search will send you all over the place looking for an answer. Some of the ones I found advised me to install the latest Visual Studio update or delete user files. None of these solutions work, and honestly, installing updates was the last thing I want to do while trying to push a new product out the door.

I found out the issue I was having was due to Visual Studio have problems parsing XML files. Basically, 75 percent of a lightswitch application is a series of XML files that connect screens to data and project files that define the solution.
