vs2008 hangs when building solution


Hi,

I can't get a vs2008 solution to compile.

I have copied the source from a (compiling) 2.0 web-application
to a new directory (I didn't want to change the old code), and tried
to compile it in vs2008 (beta 2). When compilation reaches about
75% of the 46 projects in this solution, it seems to hang with near
100% CPU usage. A colleague (who had the same problem) reported
that compilation did finish after about 90 minutes of CPU time.
The exact project where compilation hangs seems to vary a bit,
but usually it's one that contains very little complicated code
but calls a number of projects (assemblies).

If I run 'msbuild' from the VS2008 command prompt, the entire
solution *is* compiled.

One thing I noticed was that a 'build' seems to be executed as
a 'rebuild': I see compiler warnings about projects that did
build correctly in the previous run (no sourcecode changes
anywhere in the meantime). Is this correct behaviour (for this
beta release)?

Has anyone experienced this build problem before?
Any ideas on how to fix it or on how to get more information
about the problem? Is it possible to redirect build-output to
a file? When it hangs I can't get at the "build-output" to
see where it went wrong.

Hi,

I suggest you ask this question at ASP.NEt Forums where there is dedicated
forum for VS2008 (and since your case is web app related that improves the
chance of fast help on that forum). See: http://forums.asp.net/1112.aspx

MS's team is actively monitoring that so chances of getting help is better

Hi, I have a solution with 23 projects. The startup project is a web project. My solution is communication with some web services hosted on a server. The problem is that when I try to step through the code, VS stops responding after a few steps. Why? Is there any way I can find out what is causing it to hang? Are there any good practices to avoid VS from hanging? What exactly is happening when it hangs? Can I find out what files have...

Hi everybody, We are currently using VS2003 and now we are in the porcess of upgrading to the next Visual Studio version. Does somebody have a real life experience with VS2008? My boss wants to go with VS2005 and I am trying to convince to buy VS2008. Can somebody provide links to compare 2 products in terms of how stable they are. I do not need VS2008 new features, I need to prove to my management that VS2008 is a stable product. TIA

We have a project working well today and it's developed on VS2005. Since we're planing to switch to VS2008 in a soon future, i've been trying to move the project to VS2008 Express (Web Developer). After i've moved over all the files, i run into problems compiling and running it. Both versions of VS are run on the same computer (with the sam settings, of course). Still, when i try to run index.aspx, i get error message as follows:

Hello out there, I changed an existing and good working webservice from an wsHttpBinding to an NetTcpBinding. This is working (after trying some time) and has real a better performance! But one thing is strange: when I'm now actualising the web reference from within VS2008, VS2008 creates a 2nd endpoint config in my app.conf. The endpoint is exactly the same as the existing but the name and

I know this is a vs issue but nobody seems to answer posts over there... In VS 2008 I can't seem to get a multiple project solution. If I create a blank solution and add a project to it, it becomes just a project with not solution node at the top so I can't "add a project" to the node. If I add a project from the file menu it becomes that new project. I'm using Vista. Anyone have a clue? Thanks, Gary

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
