    hello,

    My computer crashed last night and I had to perform a forced reboot. When I turned it on and launched visual studio it brought out that loading panel that appears when you first launch visual studio [something that says "...configuring environment for first time use...]

    Also all my components disappeared as well... fortunately its trivial to add the components again.. however when I tried to get going with my project, I added a formview control to the page, clicked choose datasource and selected "add new data source" .. when the wizard window opened, I realized there is only 1 type of data source object available [aspx site map control]... rest of the objects like "sql data source" are gone...

    it's not stopping me actually, I can just manually add a datasource and connect them however I would still like the option of choosing it from there .. is there a way to bring those objects back into that list??

    Hi,

    You can try to run "devenv.exe  /log <full path to log file>" to generate log file to troubleshoot this issue.

    Besides, we can "devenv.exe  /resetskippkgs" or "devenv.exe  /setup" to merge the resource metadata that describes menus, toolbars, and command groups from all VSPackages available in Visual Studio Command Prompt.


    I look forward to hearing from you.
