Speaking of Visual Studio... (A warning!)
-
Don't update to the newest version if you haven't already. I've done so last week and it's buggy as hell X| It keeps removing my quick access items, especially the "Text Editor" (which has the comment and uncomment buttons) and the Crystal Reports software who shall not be named controls. I'm also getting constant "GenerateTypeCodeFixProvider encountered an error and has been disabled" error, which prevents me from automatically generating classes and other of those quick actions and refactorings. I've seen other errors as well, but I don't know what they were and they aren't as frequent, but annoying nonetheless. I've also had a complete VS crash once or twice. It really takes a bite out of my productivity and I'm looking forward to the next update because it pretty much can't get any worse than this. I updated because I hoped I'd get some .NET 5 and GitHub support, which the Visual Studio team is working on. I'm not even looking at those while VS is bugging me like this X| Apparently, I can't (easily) uninstall a Visual Studio update, or I certainly would've done so. Bad, bad Microsoft! :mad:

if any of this buggy stuff is being affected by the preview versions, you can turn that off in the tools options environment preview features. I just updated and I like the new Git layout Have not encountered any bugs yet. I cross my fingers now. I'm sure you have seen this already: Visual Studio 2019 build numbers and release dates | Microsoft Docs[^] Does seem like a lot of needed effort to work around their mistakes.

I don't use preview builds of VS or anything. I've looked at those preview features, unticked them all, restarted, and I'm at least still getting the GenerateTypeCodeFixProvider error. To see if you've also got it, in any method, simply enter:
var c = new MyClass
{
MyProperty = 1
};Then stand on "MyClass" and hit ctrl + . (provided MyClass is not an actual class in your project). This opens your refactoring menu and should immediately cause the GenerateTypeCodeFixProvider to encounter an error. None of the refactoring options work after that, even after enabling the provider again.

Being:- a). An old git b). Cynical as hell c). Totally paranoid before I let any upgrade to anything happen, I always create a well labelled Restore Point. It's worked so far.
I don't even trust those. I run windows in a VM and I freeze/save state on it. :laugh:

I cannot replicate. I followed your instructions and it works pefectly. I selected "generate new type..." dialog opens and I am allowed to generate a new type for MyClass. no errros. if you run VS 2019 as Admin, does that help? I don't run as admin, I was just curious.

Not seeing what you see but I have been getting those "something went wrong, save that ugly mess you are creating and restart Visual Studio" Add a feature, fix a bug and add 3 new ones.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

I got it sometimes, but now I get it consistently. At least it's consistent now, so maybe this is the actual intended behavior :laugh:

I'm not running as administrator, but I just tried that. I don't even get to the error as VS is hanging while "Gathering suggestions - Waiting for the solution to fully load" when I press ctrl + . :~ After cancelling I didn't see the error, but it didn't work either. Upon trying again I got an empty context menu :sigh: Ultimately, the error showed up again.

I have had pretty good luck with VS updates in the past but this is the worst one I can remember. Every time I paste text it "formats" it and I can't find where to disable that. It just started doing that after the update and it really annoys me. Another thing - every time I click "find in files" it takes five minutes or so. I have no idea why and this is very annoying also. Curiously, I installed VS19 on two other machines and neither have these problems. They happen only on the one that was updated. I certainly hope a subsequent update repairs this nonsense.

It does that for me too, always has. Can you do ctrl + z and restore the original formatting? Always worked for me.

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Yes, that's what I have been doing but I don't have to do that on my other two machines. THAT is the really annoying thing.
