Hi all! I've issue with VS08. I've got Web Application project (vb.net). Whenever I try to open an aspx or ascx (in Source view - just double clicking on Solution Explorer) the file opens, but VS hangs and is not responding. The only way to restart VS is
then by killing it's process. And it happens all the time with these types of files. :/ Reinstall didn't work.
<div class="post-text">
In addition, the only plugin I've installed with this instance of VS is ClearCase source control plugin.
<div class="post-text">
Turning off Html Validation didn't work. What I've noticed that before opening .aspx/.ascx file in solution memory usage (of VS) is for example 50k and when I double click i.e. Default.aspx to view Source then memory usage goes up to for example 150k and
VS is not responding.
Everything did work last week. :/
</div>
Then I tried opening using other Visual Studio editor (right-click on the file, Choose Open With...) - my default is Web Form Editor - I've chosen HTML Editor and it works BUT then VS hang while saving file.
Does a plain HTML page have this problem? Does simply drag an ASP.NET control say textbox onto a blank page within a new website project have problem? Do you have any third party controls installed? if so delete/uninstall them.
Meanwhile, you can try to
1. Reboot the machine into Safe Mode. Do we still have the problem? This can isolate some third party application/driver’s interference.
2. If we switch to try a new user account, do we have the problem? This can rule out the possibility of corrupted user profile.
3. Do we have any third party add-ins loaded? Disable them with “Tools” | “Add-in Manager…”.
4. Check is there "Microsoft Visual Studio Web authoring Component" in ARP(Add/Remove Program), if it does, uninstall it and go to your installation CD install it again from \WCU\WebDesignerCore\WebDesignerCore.EXE
if the problem still persists, try this one:
delete the _svn folder under the project and also delete the .sou file in the same folder where the .sln solution file is. the .sou file are you custom project settings and if you delete the file, visual studio will regenerate another one for you
MARK AS ANSWER IF MY POST HELPED YOU!

SurendraKishore - Thanks for the suggestions - my VS2k8 quit working this morning. I was running the PowerDefragmenter on my F drive (partition) and when I came back - Vista was doing a checkdisk scan - Blue screen of death?!?!?!
At anyrate - I could open a project - but as soon as I tried to open a file - it would lock up. I uninstalled VS2k8 - re-installed - nothing!
I followed #4 - but had to "re-install" the whole VS2k8 -- the entire disk - couldn't run it from the WebDesignerCore.exe file - it'd unpack - but that's it.
Anyways - It's working that's what counts! Only took me 7 hours of getting nothing accomplished!!
Then I uninstalled the "Microsoft Visual Studio Web authoring Component" and did not reinstall it bc I wanted to see if my VS still works and does what I need it to do --> yes it does! Hasn't hung itself once since that move. So thanx bunches,
SurendraKishor!
My problem was when ever i try to debug a solution, VS will hang and nothing comes up. This got resolved by deleting the _SVN folder and .sou file and rerun the application once again. That did the trick!! :)

What version of .NET Framework assemblies does your website reference? (Have you successfully installed .NET Framework 3.5, please use .NET Framework 3.5 Installation validation tool: http://blogs.msdn.com/aaronru/archive/2007/11/29/net-framework-3-5-installation-validation-tool.aspx to look into it)
Does a plain HTML page have this problem? Does simply drag an ASP.NET control say textbox onto a blank page within a new website project have problem? Do you have any third party controls installed? if so delete/uninstall them.
Meanwhile, you can try to
1. Reboot the machine into Safe Mode. Do we still have the problem? This can isolate some third party application/driver’s interference.
2. If we switch to try a new user account, do we have the problem? This can rule out the possibility of corrupted user profile.

4. Check is there "Microsoft Visual Studio Web authoring Component" in ARP(Add/Remove Program), if it does, uninstall it and go to your installation CD install it again from \WCU\WebDesignerCore\WebDesignerCore.EXE

Hi all,
I disabled ReSharper, but it didn't help.
Then I uninstalled the "Microsoft Visual Studio Web authoring Component" and did not reinstall it bc I wanted to see if my VS still works and does what I need it to do --> yes it does! Hasn't hung itself once since that move. So thanx bunches, SurendraKishor!
Cheers, Oliver
