visual studio .net debugging : Serious Visual Studio .NET Bug!

I have found a bug in VS.NET 2003 that I can't seem to
find a solution for. When I am at a break point, I want
to expand a variable node in the local windows to see the
properites of the corresponding object. However, when I
press the + sign, the + sign goes away and nothing
happens! I have a solution with about 6 projects. If I
create a new simple project, everything is fine (which
does me now good in solving my problem, but this must mean
it is something with the specific solution/projects). I
noticed that another developer posted the same issue on
google new group. This is a serious issue in regards to
productivity with the product! Please let me know of the
known fix or any suggestions.

thanks,

It almost seems that the debugger is not "Reflecting" on
the objects correctly. For example, I also notice some
strange behaviors in the command window. If I type the
following, assuming r is a populated DataRow object:

r.item(0) = 5
? r.item(0)

I will get back nothing! Since the item is of type
object, usually you will get back type info and the value.

If I type the following, it seems to be okay:
r.item(0) = 5
? r.item(0).ToString()

I hope Microsoft takes notice, since it is slowing us all
down at work!!!

I've been seeing the same problem, and I'm sure the objects in the debug
window DO have members, so it isn't just removing the + because there is
nothing to expand.
