Hi,
Is anyone else experiencing this, or better yet, have a fix for it:
We have VS.Net 2003 from the MSDN Universal subscription installed on 3
workstations. We have about 10 or so projects ranging from a handful of
forms to 50 or so. On all but the smallest projects there will be some forms
or user controls which display this problem. What happens is that whenever
you are editing the code for the affected object, a number of things start
to misbehave, for example
1) autoformatting will fail to work - auto tabbing, replacing endif with
End If, capitalising, etc
2) new syntax errors will not be highlighted
3) existing syntax errors will remain highlighted after the error has been
corrected
4) intellisense for an object will list the wrong set of methods and
properties
5) Selecting a control and an event from the combos at the top of the code
window will insert the event skeleton at the current text cursor position,
rather than at the end of the file, even if the current position is in the
middle of another line of code!
There are probably a few other things to, but they're the ones that I can
remember. In every case things can be put right by switching windows and
then returning - outstanding formatting will then be applied, syntax errors
will be correctly cleared or flagged, etc.
It's really rather annoying, so if anyone has any hints I'd welcome them. As
I understand it, all these things would be handled by a background
compilation process that is constantly compiling your code as you enter it.
If that's the case, it sounds like that is getting out of sync?!?
