Exactly. I really liked VS2002 but now this experience has soured me on the
whole .NET experience. It's just crap. I'm amazed at the number of
problems that people are having with '03. Makes one think that '03 was
rushed big time...

Right no. I'm sure there is a solution out there but what a pain in the

being productive and programming. Suxs.

Nevermind... after working it in all day, it did it again, thus
leaving
me
to the conclusion that Visual Studio 2003 stinks and I will forever kick
myself for upgrading to software that is, at best, beta.

Maybe someday Microsoft will release a service pack with a new feature
called "Make VS 2003 act like VS 2002" and then it would actually work.

Oh well.

Makes sense in a twisted way since Projects and Solution files are
supposed
to be the only things that change going from VS2002 to VS2003.

I've avoided the problems by not having the designer and code window
for
the
same form open at the same time. That is annoying since I didn't much
care
about what was open when working in VS2002. I've gotten used to it
though.
I may try your solution.

I *think* I found a fix.

I was thinking it was the project itself that was for some reason
causing
the problem. Maybe the conversion from VS 2002 to VS 2003 screwed
things
up. So I renamed my screwed up project and created a new project.
I
added
the other projects I was using and readded all references. Then, in
Windows
Explorer, I copied all of the files that were in the one UI project
that
I
was having the problems in to the new solution that did not have any
forms
in it yet. Then, with the new blank solution open, I drag and
dropped
the
files into the solution explorer from Windows Explorer. I had to
redo
some
references and it probably took about 20 minutes to tweak things but
I
have
yet to have this problem, whereas in the old project it would happen
instantly.



You may want to try this with your project and see if it fixes it.



Let me know your results...

I have similar problems, but I haven't found the trigger.

My project is a VS 2002 and I never had intellisense or
auto-formatting
problems when using VS2002.
My project is a winform project and has numerous forms and user
controls

But now, when I work with my app, the editor starts to degrade;
1. Intellisense stops working
2. Undo/redo functionality is lost. Sometimes I get the message
"Unknown
undo/redo error".
3. Text selection works differently. "AAA.bbb" is selected
instead
of
"AAA" when I double click on "AAA"
4. C# Autoformatting stops working.

Most of the time, the problems clear up by exiting VS 2003 and
restarting.
Sometimes, I have to reboot.

I am using VS 2003 Enterprise Architect.

Generally, I am finding VS 2003 a distraction to use and have
been
considering going back to VS 2002.

Eric, I don't have any solutions to offer, just the comfort of
knowing
you
are not alone...
Mike

PS. With VS 2002, I had a macro that incremented the
AssemblyVersion
with
every build. With VS 2003, this macro caused these editor
problems
to
occur
very frequently. I stopped using the macro and the editor
problems
still
occur, but less frequently.

Using Visual Studio 2003 (Enterprise Developer):
If I create a form in my solution that was converted from VS
2002,
and
then add a few text boxes and labels, and then go to the "View
Code"
view, all of my intellisense does not work, the
auto-formatting
does
not work, copy/paste does not work, undo/redo does not work,
and
the
wording such as "public" that is normally blue turns to black.
See
screenshot here:
http://www.cyberbaal.com/randomville/vs2003bug.jpg

If I close the design view and the code view of the form and
go
to
"View Code" from the Solution Explorer, then it works fine.
But
the
minute I have both "View Code" and the "View Design" views
open
at
the
same time, the problem occurs.

However, if do the exact same steps in a new project created
in
Visual
Studio 2003, it works fine and all of the features I describe
above
seem to work fine.

I have tried removing the csproj.user file and the .suo file,
and
that
does not correct it either. It seems to be something in just
that
one
project file, but I have no idea what it could be. By the
way,
the
solution contains multiple projects with this particular
project
being
the startup project that has all UI based forms.

I even reformatted my computer thinking maybe something got
messed
up
when upgrading from VS 02 to VS 2003, but I still have the
same
problem. At this point, I am regretting upgrading to VS 2003
as
this
has caused a lot of headaches and 2002 was working just fine.

Any thoughts on what I should do? Anyone else experience
this?

Thanks.

-Eric
