[Lloyd Sheen]

Title says it all. I have reinstalled this "terrible" version of VS now 4
times and I am having trouble with why MS released this.

Sure sorry your having so much trouble... But, I have had zero problems with
VS2008. Maybe it's VB thing though, because I mostly work in C#.

How about actually describing what you want to do and how you are attempting
to do it and what you are getting for a response instead of just ranting?

Ok I inserted the following lines (new) into an executing procedure.

Dim toFolderName As String
toFolderName = Path.Combine(toFolder.FolderName,
Path.GetFileName(folderName))
This made the code in the procedure:

Dim toFolder As FolderInfo = CType(foldersListBox.SelectedItem,
FolderInfo)
Dim fromFolder As String = folderName
Dim toFolderName As String
toFolderName = Path.Combine(toFolder.FolderName,
Path.GetFileName(folderName))

FileSystem.MoveDirectory(fromFolder, toFolderName)
Me.DialogResult = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK
Close()
Now when I attempted to set the executing line to the first line ( one time
I noticed in the watch window that toFolder was nothing after a change) I
get a first message that I cannot set the execution to that line. When I
get that I do not want to execute the sub any further so I attempted to set
the executing line to setting the dialogresult. This resulted in the error
and I had to shut down VS 2008.

I've given up on Edit-and-Continue in VB.NET. I now restart every time I make
a change.

Pity, it was one of the great features of MS BASIC going back to QuickBasic.

I don't know enough about the plumbing of .NET but I suspect that now
programs are all JIT Compiled, rather than interpreted, it is too hard to
implement properly.

All I know is Edit-And-Continue makes the IDE unreliable, so I don't use it.
Even Stop-and-continue can be a problem if you use third party or COM objects
- viewing a property can execute code underneath, I suppose.

Under VS 2005 I never had a problem. One thing I think causes a problem in
VS 2008 is Linq. I know you cannot edit linq statements and I have many in
my code.

Sure sorry your having so much trouble... *But, I have had zero problems with

VS2008. *Maybe it's VB thing though, because I mostly work in C#.

Doesn't seem to be a VB thing, I work almost exclusively in VB now,
and most of the developers I work with are doing 95% VB. I don't know
of any problems from the other guys and I haven't had a single problem
since 2008 was released. I am however running Team Suite so perhaps a
version difference is to blame?

LOL

Apparently I just jinxed myself. I just received my first crash in
Visual Studio 2008. When using Ctrl+M+L to expand my code file the
Visual Basic Compiler went kaboom.

That'll teach me to say I haven't had any problems! :-)

Used VS 2005 for about 3 years without a hickup.
