Really nasty bug with intellisense causing the VS.NET 2003 IDE to lock

Since installing SP1 and using VS.NET 2003 I have been having terrible
problems with the intellisense locking the IDE. It only seems to
happen with certain assemblies, but happens a lot.

For example if I type:

MessageBox.Show ( this, "Test",

and then start using the Up and Down arrows to cycle through the
overrides the IDE locks/freezes up everytime. To unfreeze the IDE you
have to click on the VS.NET icon in the task bar and minimize then
maximise the screen and it comes back to life.

This even happens in solutions that have a single project and no
external references and is causing me a major headache!

Anyone else had similiar problems?

thanks

I got to the bottom of this and found this it was caused by a Code
Completion Addin which must have been throwing an exception on certain
keystokes. These exceptions where causing the IDE to lock, i guess
maybe a message box was appearing in the background or something.
Anyway have removed the addin and seems fine now...

We recently ported our code from VSNET2002 to 2003 After migration, we noticed that several properties of one of our classes no longer pop up in intellisense ( the get_ set_ methods pop up, but the properties don't). Some digging shows that the MSIL generated for the culprit properties includes a few extra method attributes ( newslot virtual final ). And these attributes are causing the problem in VSNET2003 intellisense. (Everything...

Hi folks, I'm looking at moving a large base of C++ code to .Net under tight time constraints. The code runs in mission-critical environments, and I am extremely concerned about the loader lock problem and the potential for deadlocks. After pouring over the available information, and trying a few experiments, I am still left with a few questions and issues I hope someone out there can shed some light on.

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
