BizTalk "Errors exist for one or more children."

I used to see the error "Errors exist for one or more children." a lot in BizTalk 2004 when I was creating an orchestration. The error wasn't valid, because I could usually get rid of it by saving and then deleting code from an Expression shape, then compiling, then copying the code back, and compiling again.

I had not yet encountered this issue with BizTalk 2006 until today. This time the error was tagged to my Loop shape. I was able to fix the error by deleting the code from an Expression shape inside of the loop, and proceeding as I describe above. I'm just glad that I didn't have a large number of expression shapes inside of my Loop, because there was no way for me to identify which Expression was causing the error.

I had the same problem Steve in BizTalk 2009, usually it is followed with a red indicator on the expression shape, but I was attempting to pull the InterchangeID property. Great stuff!

I think I've also seen that error when attempting to pull the InterchangeID. It's been long enough now that I don't remember why I wanted to do that. Were you able to resolve your issue?
