Command Line Compiler, CS0116: A namespace does not directly contain members such as fields or methods

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

My "VIS" Website, which is a C# site created in VS.NET, Framework 1.1,
is no longer compiling for me via the command line.

As I have done 600 times in the last year and a half, I can compile to
VIS.DLL via Visual Studio, with no problems:

------ Rebuild All started: Project: VIS,
Configuration: Debug .NET ------
Preparing resources...
Updating references...
Performing main compilation...

Build complete -- 0 errors, 0 warnings
Building satellite assemblies...
---------------------- Done ----------------------
Rebuild All: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped


However (as I have done 200 times in the last year and a half!!) I am
suddenly unable to compile from the command line:

using this command:
csc /t:library /out:bin/VIS.dll /recurse:*.cs /nowarn:183 /lib:bin >
buildlog.txt

This is the same as I have always used.

Note that, obviously, none of my cs files suddenly have fields,
methods, or variables declared right below the namespace level! This
error must have something to do with the configuration of the
machine(s) on which I am trying to compile it. [[Right??]]. The "error"
shows up in the output of csc for every single file in the project.

Thanks for any help you can give.
