VS.NET shuts down while building project

[my_lou]

hi all,

 

ok, i have this problem. i have this VB.NET project and when i try to build/compile it or run it VS.NET just shuts down. No warning message, no error message, nothing, it just shuts down. anybody has any idea why this could be hapenning? the program is pretty big, i'd say around 50,000 lines of code, but i don't see how that would be a problem.

 

thanks.

Have you looked in your Event Viewer to see if anything is written there?

Have you tried to compile from the command-line?

 

I'm not sure if there is a debug file generated from VS.net when it crashes, but I'd imagine there's something on your drive detailing the crashes. Perhaps someone else here knows about that?

 

Oh, and have you tried rebooting your machine since this started :rolleyes:

just for the record, it's working fine now. i didn't do anything, it just started working on its own.

 

yes, i did try rebooting when the problem was occuring earlier today and it did not help. and yes, i did look at the event viewer also, there was nothing there. i have not tried compiling from the command line though. how would i go about doing this? it's a VB.NET Windows application.

 

somebody suggested that it might be a XP Service Pack 2 issue since i have XP Professional.

A couple other ideas...:

 

The other thing you could do is roll back to an older version of your project (assuming you have source control).

 

If possible, test compiling the project on another machine (have you recently installed or patched (xp sp2?) on your dev machine?

 

I agree with mocella though, when in doubt reboot.
