I have a re-occuring problem in vs2008 and I have wondered if someone else
has run into this.
As I flip between 'ViewCode' and 'Design' mode of a form, suddenly what will
happen is that the form display will be totally blank / totally grey.
The only thing I can do is to click the 'x' and close the 'Design' mode of
the form and then go to the solutions explorer and re-open it.

What project type? I don't see this with C# Windows Forms, WPF or Web
projects.
Have you checked/updated your graphics drivers recently? Sometimes obsolete
drivers can cause odd symptoms such as those you describe.
Its with vb.net vs 2008 pro
and I am using a laptop to do the programmign - and its a nvidia card that
does have other issues I know of that drivers are not available.
I do suspect it could be the graphics driver, I will be upping the ram thru
the bios on the graphics chipset to see if that changes anything this
saturday.
It happens a lot when flip flopping between design mode and code mode.
The fact that it doesnt happen for you makes me feel 'better' knowing that
my first suspicions were correct and its my hardware cause im cheap :)
It still is bearable for me as I am not a gung ho .net programmer - im still
in learnign stages - but I know for later ill have to upp the horsepower.
Thanks

I get the totally white design surface with VB projects when I Rebuild
the project. It happens consistently with some .vb files, never with
others. I have not noticed it happening when I switch back and forth
between View Code and Design.
ok than that is what I am finding as well...mine is just the 'grey' color of
the form,
BUT...
If i happen to have a control selected when I went to the 'code' view, there
is a whitish outline of the control selected in the blank window now on the
form.
Either way - my only option is to click the X and reload it from the
solutions explorer.
Is that what you do? -forced to click the x and reload from solution
explorer

Yes, I close the Design view and re-open it either by right-clicking
on the code view and selecting Design or double-clicking in Solution
Explorer.

Hello Microsoft Support,
It looks like there is a bug inside the VS2008 Pro IDE.
I did quite a bit of debugging to narrow the problem down. Here is the
result of my efforts:
A VS2005 project compiles and runs fine, built in VS 2005 Pro.
This application displays a bunch of thumb jpg images using PictureBoxes on
its main Form. the PictureBoxes are created dynamically on startup.

I have vs2005 installed on the System disk and vs2008 installed on a
different disk.
I want to remove VS2005. I read one time about some problem with
uninstalling vs2005 after vs2008 is installed but can't find the site now.
Is there a problem?
Would reinstalling vs2008 fix any problem that may occur because of
uninstalling vs2005.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
