Yes, I am experiencing the same problem, the debugger
hanging all to often, although sometimes it works fine.
In the end, I have to use the debugger only when
absolutely necessary, once I compile my changes, I flip
back to a web page and click a shortcut to the page I
made changes on to check the results. If it didn't go to
plan, then I grit my teeth and hit F5 with my fingers
crossed and pray to Bill Gates that it'll work.
Not very hi-tech, but that looks like the only solution I
have found.
I'm using XP and have disabled Norton Anti-virus (because
that always causes problems).
Lets hope that Microsoft get their sh*t together and
release a version of Visual Studio .Net with a working
debugger some time VERY soon.
Tony.
P.S. What alternatives to Visual Studio .Net are there
(if any) for writing ASP.Net Applications?
I think I might enter another post about that!

Hi!

Could you please tell me what kind of an app are you seeing this problem with?

Thanks & regards,

I was using C++ code behind in an ASP.Net web application.

Hi Tony,

I am sorry I was away for a while. Are you still repro'ing this issue?

When devenv hangs, can you attach another instance of devenv (attach as
Native) to it and break? If so, could you please do a Debug->Save Dump As,
and send the saved dump to me at deeptanshuv? (save without
heap, that will save a small dump of size ~25-50 KB)

Thanks & regards,
Deeptanshu.
