VS2005 IDE Status bar question

CMM
This might be common knowledge... but, what does this animated icon in the
VS2005 IDE mean? (http://www.cflashsoft.com/temp/vs05sb.JPG) it's a VS
icon... animated... slowly blowing up). I've personally never noticed it
until tonight. What does it mean (there's no tooltip!.... bad UI design
guys!)?

Carlos,

It is possible that I saw it as well, to get more information, is it
somewhere at the right bottom and is it with an aspnet page. I thought that
I had seen it when there was something loaded from IIS?

Yes. It appeared while I had an ASP.NET project open... it was in the
statusbar. No code windows or anything were open and nothing was going on.
The app was not in debug mode or anything. Nothing seemed wrong and the
project compiled and worked just fine. CPU usage was nominal.....

I'm just curious as to what it meant. :-)

P.S.
I have the same project open right now and there is no animated icon.

The picture you posted had line number etc on there too, you
don't get that if there are no window open?

Um, maybe it's because when I took the screenshot I did have a window open.

I'm not stupid.

With no windows open, the icon flushed all the way to the right. And,
continued to animate.

No-one suggested you were, your screenshot and your
statement didn't match that's all, which makes it difficult
when your trying to recreate an issue.

I think I've seen it too, but I'm having a hard time getting
it to appear now - I'm deteremined to find out though.

I'm sure it's something mundane. :-)
But, it's still a curiosity. I can't see what an exploding Visual Studio
icon could possibly mean.

If this helps... my web project was running off a true local IIS directory
(i.e. not a filesystem project that starts up the "temporary" VS2005 web
server thingy). *Sometimes* after a fresh reboot, VS crashes when first
starting up.... I think it's because it gets tired waiting for IIS to start.
I think it may have crashed shortly before seeing this icon... but I just
restarted the IDE.... and everything worked perfectly.

I tried the new Visual Studio 2005 Team System + VSS2005, no Team Foundation Server. Some questions pop into my head: 1. WITHOUT TFS, can VSS2005 integrated with VS2005? What I like is the VS6 kind of integration: when I modify a source file in VisualStudio, VS found out it's readonly and controled by VSS, then pop up a dialog for me to check out from VSS. It seems like even with TFS, the integration between VSS and VS is not the same....

A couple of weeks ago I reported a bug in vs2005 where it corrupted projects converted from vs2003 if a 2003 dataset were modified or recreated. Steven Cheng was able to recreate the bug.

From a practical standpoint this bug prevents migration of projects from vs2003 to vs2005 because if 2003 dataadapters and datasets can't be changed, any large project is...

I have a fairly basic VB.NET application that I converted from VS2003 to VS2005 and now it crashed the VS2005 IDE pretty regularly while trying to use the form designer. I've removed any 3rd references in my projects and recoded methods to remove any deprecated functions. Anyone have any suggestions?
