I found a new and exciting way to lock up VS2008. 0) Debug an app that uses HttpWebRequest that retrieves a rather large web page. 1) Copy the value of the returned html (in the debugger), and past it into a HTML file in VS2008. 2) Do a Find/Replace on the new file that replaces all of the \" with ", and hit "Replace All". I just tried to do a find/replace with 22,271 matches for the specified replace action, and VS is completely locked up. My day is complete.

Probably an overzealous virus scanner. Since I installed MS Essenstions VS takes ages to close due the aforementioned... (even when not saving files)
Yet the venerable and oft maligned Notepad.exe can do the same find/replace in less than 2 seconds. It's just further proof that VS is currently crap, has always been crap, and will always be crap.

"Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass." - Dale Earnhardt, 1997Use it to your advantage and spend the rest of the day doing nothing, if someone asks you can use the old "I'm waiting for the software to compile" line. Although if you are like me, you find doing nothing boring. Make that another reason to dislike VS of any flavor. Happy New Year! :)
It was borke, so I fixed it.

Notepad is probably just using RAM while VS attempts to sync all changes to disk.

"Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass." - Dale Earnhardt, 1997Yes, but Notepad will only undo the last one of those replaces - the other 22,270 replacements are committed and cannot be rolled back. VS will undo the lot if you got it wrong...
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

"Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass." - Dale Earnhardt, 1997Also try: TFS 2005 mixed with VS2010. Just trying to merge my updates with the main dev trunk, and every time I get latest it says "Not enough quota to complete this operation" and boom! :mad::mad:
