"Microsoft Visual Studio Is Busy" During C# Compile

[Gary Brown]

Hi and Happy Holidays,

VS 2005 yields

"Microsoft Visual Studio Is Busy
Microsoft Visual Studio is waiting for an internal operation to
comple. If you ... report this problem to Microsoft."

I'm not sure if this constitutes reporting it to MS but here it is.

What exactly is happening and how do I cure it?

About a week ago compiles suddenly went from about 2 sec
to about 20 sec and frequently provides the about bubble
message. This project is about a year old with no major
changes correlating to the slowdown.

I'm using version 2.0.50727 on a homebuilt AMD 2800+ w
1GB memory, lots of disk space. XP Pro SP2

Thanks,
Gary

I get these myself every now and again... they're not really a big
problem, just another one of those Microsoft annoyances

As to why the build time would jump from 2 sec to 20 sec, I guess you
would have to dig into that for a while and maybe speak with MSDN support.

Gary,
If this is a solution with a number of projects in it, you can turn off the
Build action on the projects that really don't need to be rebuilt every time.
Do this in the Build Configuration menu property sheet.
Otherwise, think about what software, service packs, etc. you have changed
just before you noticed this happening.

It is a multi-project "solution." I did play around with the build
configuration and the other projects and some other solutions.
The problem occurs only on the one project, the one that is most
often compiled of course. The only system change about the
time this started was upgrading to IE7.

Some Googling showed some others with the same problem but
no resolution. So now to contact MSDN support.

Thanks,
Gary

OK, it was operator error. I set "Enable code analysis" in the project
properties while fiddling around then forgot I'd done it. This also
explains the odd diagnostics.

Thanks to those who responded.
