The ncb would get regenerated, and then life was good again. Apparently there was a periodic corruption in the file which the IDE didn't take kindly to. Given that Visual Studio is actually Visual Basic with some extras shoved in, I don't know if there's a parallel here, but it might be worth looking into.

Well, no, only the WPF designer. The whole thing is very stable in my experience. Maybe I'm just lucky.

I never had a problem with it when working in something other than a WPF project, but in this case, I agree.

I think the modern-day equivalent is to delete the SUO file. I'm gonna try it when I get to work today...

[voice of the vultures from the jungle book] Now don't start that again! I actually agree with you wholeheartedly.

That worked for now, but I'm sure I'll have to do it again in an hour or so. BTW, I've only seen reports of this problem on Vista64 machines (coincidentally, that's what I have on this box).

"...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001Sounds about right. As I recall, it was a big honking binary file, so this may do the trick. Let me know if it works. Thus far I've been able to avoid WPF, but as Yoda would say, "Always in motion is the future."

Really? I use it only for native code debugging and that part works just fine.
