thanks i might try that, i have also got xna installed too,
but it seems that if I leave out the
[conditional("DEBUG")]
lines it seems ok, the one that seemed to be cuasing the trouble was
a function that was called from a virtual function - thats all it called,
as I found out you cant apply the conditional to the virtual function as I
wanted.
It was just a debug function wich just dumped all the windows
messages to a file by overiding the windproc.
I copied a sample docking system and was just testing it out but ended up
writing mosyt of my app
in the sample project, I think I need to create a new project and weed out
al the stuff I dont actually need.
but its got quite large lol.
I have managed to merge about 4 seperate programs id written
into one multi windowed IDE type monster now lol.

I've had problems with VS2005, too, and I've got Professional.
My solution has been to go to Add/Remove Programs, find Visual Studio, and
do a Repair/Ininstall. Just repair everything and start running it again.
I'm not sure what causes flukes like this, but I've had it happen twice on
the machine I am using now in the last 6 months.
Hope that helps!

>Hi,
I seem to have introduced a probem into my application wich cuases the
IDE
to hang
when I switch from debug to reease mode. it doesnt even consume any cpu
%,
just sits there, with the debug/release drop down menu stil half visible,
and not even the close buton or taskbar menu works -
has to be clsoed from taskmanager.
It seemed to start after I did 2 things,
I added a file from a referenced library
just some enums as it was internal,
and also added some [Conditional("DEBUG")]
statements around some debug functions,
it hung as soon a I tried to change to release mode.
I undid the changes and it was ok,
so I put them back again and it was ok too,
so i dont know if this even had anything to do with it.
but now it hangs about 1 time in 10.
(just when I switch to relase mode)
Ive tried rebuilding all etc.
its just midly iritating, but ive found before
on a new project the IDE is much faster,
so is there a good way to do a clean,
short of starting a new project and copying all the files accross
thanks
