800 errors, all say Cannot implicitly convert type ‘UnityEngine.GameObject’ to ‘GameObject’

Any idea what happened?

I wasn’t monkeying with the guts of Unity in any way.
Just moving some files around to organize my folder and project structure.

I suspect this has something to do with the “converting scripts from UTF-8 to ANSI Coding” end of line error in Visual Studio.

Deleting Library folder → restart Unity. Unity crashes near the end of restarting Unity.

Assets → Re-import all assets: Unity crashes near the end.

Have you created a class of your own called GameObject? That is what my first thought would be, and I get the same error message when I do the same.

EDIT: I later checked, and that was indeed the cause. I had renamed a class to GameObject : Monobehavior

Hmm, I have already re-built my project, but now that I think about it, I think that may be what inadvertently happened!!

In fact, I am almost sure of it, now that I think back to what I was doing and the problems I was having.

Thank you!

Now if it happens again, I wont spend 8 hours trying to figure out the problem, and know right away.
