Visual Studio 2008 Standard - Microsoft Visual Studio is Busy Error

[kthequeen]

I recently upgraded from Visual Studio 2005 to Visual Studio 2008 Standard.

While I have a solution open and I am working on a .aspx file, sometimes (every 10 minutes or so) when I highlight code / make a selection, VS freezes up for about 20 to 30 seconds and displays the following message:

Microsoft Visual Studio is Busy
Microsoft Visual Studio is waiting for an internal operation to complete. If you regularly encounter this delay during normal usage, please report this problem to Microsoft.

I did not get this error within VS 2005.

Any suggestions?
thanks!

Contact MS or try reinstalling first.

thank you for the reply.

I have reinstalled but I still get the error.
emailed [e-mail] about it and still havn't got a reply.. sheesh.

Mine used to that til I upgraded one more time to Professional Edition. You get a ton more help and quicker. But after the second upgrade it hasn't done it to the point of error... Just kinda freezes for 3 minutes then comes around to me after I click a bunch of times in frustration. Good Luck on that issue.

I've done a little digging around, and it seems like an open issue...at least the top hits on google are. I haven't read a resolution there yet. Hopefully someone has had this problem and fixed it. I hope I never get it.

lol, I will have to update my address book.

We only have 2 people in our shop and we work off a network drive, not locally. We think this might have something to do with it since my co-worker has had the same issue occasionally.

What we have decided to do is to use something like sourcegear, work locally, then check the files in and out. Hopefully this will resolve it.

thank you again for the responses.

Sounds like a more reliable solution :o).
