Visual Studio 2017 compiles .core dll with a size of 0 bytes

Question

Perhaps a weird issue, and I'm not entirely sure it is code related. But I'm writing a project, and if certain files are included, it compiles the .core dll...but it has a size of 0. Removed the files, it will compile correctly...sometimes. It is the weirdest thing.

So my question is this: has anyone else seen this issue? Does .core have issues with things that require interop type services? I wish I could pinpoint code that causes it, but it seems pretty random.

Major ID10T error on this one. Apparently, my AV didn't like the dll so it deleted it without notifying me. Here is to having dumb moments v_v.
