IDE locks up on loading or new web project


IDE locks up on loading or new web project Crash

visual studio .net ide:
Hello,



As soon as a web project is loaded in VS 2005, the IDE completely freezes.
In the taskbar I have a small VS icon that when clicked says "Microsoft
Visual Studio is waiting for an internal operation to complete. If you
regularly encounter this delay during normal usage, please report this
problem to Microsoft."



This only started today, but I am totally prevented from programming.



Thanks,

Craig

Hi Craig,

Thank you posting!

This error message means the server application is busy and cannot complete
the current request.

This error might also be caused by antivirus software blocking some
devenv.exe processes. Several features in the product use scripts, and
these scripts might be blocked by antivirus software. I suugest you can
refer to the following KB article for corresponding info:

Thank you for the reply.

I followed the instructions in the KB, but that did not solve my problem. I
even uninstalled / reinstalled VS (about a 2 1/2 hour process) and it is
still not working. The only thing that was different on my computer from
one day to the next was the installation of a new printer and an automatic
update from MS.

Script blocking is turned off. My IDE starts, and I can view the articles
presented on the start page, only when I try to code does it lock up.

Also, I should add, I can click on one, maybe two, things ex: default.aspx
and web.config or open the toolbox or open the solutions explorer and then
it freezes. The devenv is loaded and functioning but in a matter of seconds
it locks up.

Thanks again,
Craig

Hello,

And yet another thing:
I just started the computer in safe mode (with network support) and the IDE
worked correctly.

Then rebooted, restarted VS and it locked up as soon as I clicked on the
web.config tab.

Thanks for the response, Craig!

Does this problem only happen to the web site project, how about if you
work with a .NET Winform project?

By hte way, I suggest you can use the Filemon utility (from
www.sysinternals.com) to monitor your VS2005 IDE which it hangs.

Thanks!

Thank for you your help.

Funny thing: apparently FileMon actually repairs the problem! Not really,
but I started FileMon and then started VS2005 and VS worked (and is still
working). However, between FileMon and another program called Process
Explorer I have discovered the inetinfo.exe is the process that is causing
things to hang.
I kill the inetinfo process and things start working, then inetinfo reloads
itself and things continue to work. I realize this is out of the scope of
this forum, but if you know anything about what I have just described and
know of a fix, I sure would appreciate your help. Otherwise, I will post in
a different forum.

To answer your question, VS was hanging only on ASP projects (both C# and
VB).

Thanks again,
Craig

Hi Craig,

I am glad to know you found the root cause of this issue. Apparently the
inetinfo process does some wield things with the VS IDE. I will report this
issue to our corresponding product team for review.

On the other hand, I think it is a good idea to consult this issue in some
asp.net related forum, there may be some community members have similar
experience with yours.

Have a nice day!
