Sonar Execution Error with c# 2.0 - Failed to decorate org.sonar.api.resources.project

Question

I´m new to Sonar and I´m still trying to understand it. So first I executed sonar-runner on the sample project for csharp and it worked fine, then I tried to run it on an old project on a .net c# 2.0 framework and i get the following error:

Answer 1

It won't help you that much but, for your information, this DSM feature will be removed in the next version of the C# plugin (expected to be released by the end of February). So you shouldn't face this issue anymore.
