      I reported it as a bug, and MS closed it saying that it was fixed. Try the workaround in the report, and see if it works for you. It only works every now and again now, I have given up using the beta for the moment, as the bug makes it unusable. Steve. if(E_NOINTERFACE == pThat->QueryInterface(IID_IUnknown,(void**)&pUnk)) { // I aint no pUnk bitch! }

        Yeah, it's a killer. I've found another workaround though, that kinda works so far. What I was doing originally when I found the bug was just editing a file inside of VS, not anything apart of a solution, just any random file on your computer. So, what I found was that if I just start up a simple console app project and open up the file I want to edit with that project (not to necessarly include it, but to have tha project open in the same vs window) then I just add some random text somewhere or whatever, to break the build. Once the build fails I can use backspace and enter again! /\ |_ E X E GG

            there is a very simple fix: click in the 'Output window' and.. voila! I know, sounds weird, but it works!

                not to hijack the thread too much here, but have you noticed there are quite a few bugs in vs.net 2005? Evem the latest beta seems to have many more high visibility bugs than 2003 or 2002 did at this stage. To be honest, I'm quite concerned about this upcoming release. :/

                    With my super extra powerful brain powerful. Although it's not much related I also look at VS.NET bug reports: http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/[^] and work around.....
