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.
