VB6 error "No creatable public component detected" after class removed

Question

I'm working on a VB6 project. This project has a class which I'm no longer using. When I removed the class from the object explorer and try to compile the project again I got the error:

No creatable public component detected

I've checked the project's reference and components and I can't find anything to solve this issue.

Have anyone experience this before? Thanks!

Answer 1

Your removed class was probably set as the startup object. in your project click on the menu Project | Project Name Properties and on the General tab choose a new startup object.

Answer 2

I had the same thing happen in VB5. I closed the dev system and then removed the .VBG file and restarted the .VBP file to force it to remake the .VBG file. This worked.
