Debugger Hangs when Reading from Stream

I've been experiencing a problem recently where the debugger hangs for up to
ten seconds, even when executing very simple operations (i.e. adding two
numbers). During the hang, a little popup appears in the toolbar saying that
"Visual Studio is busy waiting for an operation to complete" and the IDE is
completely frozen.

The hang occurs when one or more background threads are:
1) performing file-read operations via StreamReader, AND...
2) the file being read is located on a network share (as opposed to the
local hard drive).

Everything works perfectly when run outside of the debugger. No exceptions
are being thrown. The code is solid and far as I can tell.

I've run into this problem on previous projects as well. Is there a known
issue with the debugger when performing background I/O operations against
files on a network share?

Thanks...

Are you and I the only two people experiencing this problem? :(

I've searched around and can't find a solution.

Hi I'm doing a project for school and wrote an applet that makes a socket connection to a server (smae host as webserver) that was setup for this project. In the applet there are 3 buttons and by pressing one of them it triggers a specific query, like getting the server uptime, date or who (is online). The problem is that when I press one of the buttons it send the query to the server, reads from the BufferedReader. This goes all well but...

Hi, Ever since i installed SP2 my application can't even step into the first line of my Main function in the debugger; the IDE hangs; i need Windows Task Manager to kill it and my application. My application runs outside the debugger, in 2005 Beta's debugger (i am using .Net Framework 1.1 SP1, i can't use Beta for my customer), and in the 1.1 debugger on another PC that doesn't have SP2 installed. What could cause the hang?

Hi, I have a web service called GetComputerNameAndDescription which I can call from the main thread of my app. If I call it from a separate thread, however, it hangs on the call to Invoke() -- but only if I'm in the debugger. Here's a stack trace with non-user code shown -- the call to RegisterNotifySource, at the top of the stack, never returns -- I have to do a "break all" inside the debugger, then find this thread and examine its call...

Hi all, I have a consistent test case where os.popen3() hangs in Windows. The system hangs when retrieving the lines from the child process stdout. I know there were several reports related to os.popen3() hanging under Windows in this group before. I stumbled on a case where a piece of code works in some occasions and hangs consistently given different data. It performs exactly the same on 3 different computers running Windows:

I am using MS Visual C++ 6.0 on Windows XP 5.1 (SP2). I am not sure if this is a C, C++ or MS issue but fscanf has been randomly hanging on me. I make the call hundreds, if not thousands, of times but it hangs in different places with the same data. The offending code follows. ReadFile(char *csFileName) { float fFloat1, fFloat2;

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,...

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. The idea...
