Re: VS hangs frequently ...

Crash problems may not be the major problems to my associates although we did have more of them after upgrading from VC++ 6 to VS 2005. But everybody feels it's a big slower than before. My favorite "edit and go" feature almost becomes useless. Most times the studio requires me to do a full rebuild, meaning stopping the debugger and hit F5 to restart. If we have a chance, we would rather upgrade to VS 2003 instead of 2005.

I find that attempting to debug multithreaded apps in VS2005 will crash me, on a bad day,
several times per hour; on a good day, only about once per hour. Usually when I hit the
single-step key, but often when I hit the go key. It is quite consistent, although not
100% failure (sometimes it has stayed up for two or three hours; contrast this to VS6
where I'd keep the same instance running for MONTHS). Sometimes it crashes when I simply
stop debugging. I'm working with unmanaged MFC code.


I'm surprised because I have not had any such problems. I recently completed the first project in which I used VS2005 exclusively, every day for a few months. Unmanaged, MFC, with lots of multithreading for sockets work. This was on a fairly typical developer setup, using a dual Xeon, on a network using SourceSafe. (But not connected to the internet, and not running antivirus software.)

Not one crash of Visual Studio.
