only on one specific solution when i try to close the IDE (either the X button or the file->exit) or
when i try to close the solution (file->close solution) nothing happens. on other solutions i have
everything is fine. on this specific solution (it has about 11 projects in it) i can exit the IDE.
the only way to exit the IDE i have found so far is try to log off windows. i then get a message
that the IDE is not responding and asking me if i want to end the process. strangely, if i click
cancel the IDE suddenly exists nicely. i then need to log off since all my other apps are closed but
that is the only way i found to close the specific solution.

the solution is made of 3 web sites, 5 services and 3 class libraries all in VB.NET
i am running on Windows 2003 SP2 server.

anyone has any idea what is the reason for this strange behavior?

Thanks
Dan avni

You could be having a problem with one of your VSIP packages. Run
Visual Studio with the /safemode command line switch and try it again.
If the problem does not occur, one of your VSIP packages might need to
be updated or disabled.

I ran the IDE in safe mode and even disabled all add-ins and still i can not exit the IDE on the
specific solution nor can i close the solution using file->close solution.

if i try to log-off windows, when i get the message that the IDE is not responding and i choose
cancel,the IDE suddenly closes cleanly (i can even see the solution closing one project at a time).

any ideas?

I have had cases where creating a new solution with the same projects as
the problem solution fixes the problem. If that works, you can then
compare the two solution files to see what is different between them.

Also, make sure you have the latest service pack for VS2005. There used
to be some funny business with the VB.Net compiler.
