Hey can anybody help me with this issue? It seems to be working fine with other projects.

Hi sandeep,

Maybe in the SCSF you will find a proper solution for that issue, anyway if you're using the source code of SCSF you can check the Microsoft.Practices.SmartClientFactory.ValueProviders.GetProjectFromGuidProvider value provider, in where the exception was ocurred.

It seems something related with your solution structure.

Please try to re post your issue here: http://smartclient.codeplex.com/Thread/List.aspx

hth.
