VS Net 2002. Somehow I've lost undo/redo. The buttons and the Edit menu for
undo and redo are grayed out and remain grayed out during modifications.
How do I get this back?

Hello David,

Thanks for posting in the group.

In order to troubleshoot the problem, could you please provide the
following information or do the following test?

1) When did this problem happen? Right after you install vs.net 2002, or
after using it for some time?
2) Did you install some add-in in vs.net 2002? If removing add-in, does the
problem happen?
3) Does restarting VS.ET resolve the problem? How about restarting machine?
3) Do you have any repro steps?
4) If you have vs.net 2003, could you please test on it to see if the
problem also happens to vs.net 2003?

Please post here if there are any questions.

Best regards,
Yanhong Huang

David -

I did some research on this problem. It seems that it is
caused by an Undo buffer left open after completing an
Undo transaction. One workaround is to close all the
opened files in the editor. Another workaround is to
restart VS. This problem was fixed in VS 2003, so you
might want to try it there.

Hope this helps. Let us know if you still see the
problem.
Thanks,

I installed VS 2003 when released on msdn downloads, and it has never
worked. I can open an existing (VS 2002) web project but I cannot create a
new web project. It just gives me a general error that it cannot create the
project internal server error 500.

I've pored thru countless KB's and threads over the past few months trying
to solve it and have done countless 'remedies' to no avail so I've continued
with dev in VS 2002.

I had a previous thread on it, can't find it now, where the MSFT responder
told me in try an uninstall/reinstall. But I've had that on hold due to the
time it takes to do that.

Well yesterday with this new weird issue in 2002 I decided to set today
aside to do an uninstall of both 2002 and 2003 and reinstall.

I then figured I'll just install 2003 and if it works I'd not install 2002.

That is now completed and I still have this issue with 2003.

I have opened up existing 2002 projects and found the undo working in 2003.
But it's useless to me since I can't create new projects.

I'll play with this issue a little bit today before I give up and reinstall
2002.

Hi, David

It sounds like something is seriously out of whack. I don't think that
trying to resolve this online is going to be productive. I would ask April
to create a grace case for you. I can do it if you prefer. Just remove
"online." from my no spam alias and send me your contact info and I will
get someone on the phone to work with you.

Thank you for your contributions to the Newsgroups,

My issue did get resolved today :-)

It was an IIS setting!
Affects VS Net 2003, but not 2002.

In the IIS console right-click the default web site,
select Properties, then go to the Home Directory Tab. On
that tab go to the Application Settings panel.

There is an application name box that is blanked out and
a button that says 'create'.
Click on the create button and it will convert to
saying 'remove' and the application name box fills in
with 'default application'.

click ok and close the IIS console.

Issue resolved. VS Net 2003 can now create new web
projects.
