VSCommands 2010

I've been facing a weird situation since last update (3.8.0.4) and I finally found what is causing my VS IDE to crash. My laptop's keyboard has an EEUU key distribution and since my first (and maybe the only one ;-)) language is spanish I've added a spanish USB keyboard. Now, to switch keyboard settings on Windows easily I configured a keystroke (Ctrl + Shift + 1). Everytime I use that sequence, my VS IDE is freeze. 

Any idea of what's going on?

PS: Thanks for this useful tool

Hi Jean,

Simillar problem has been reported before but I was unable to reproduce it locally (http://getsatisfaction.com/dpstudio/topics/vs_crashing_when_using_the_ctrl_shift_1_shortcut_to_switch_to_a_different_keyboard_layout).

Could you let me know which operating system do you have installed on your machine?

Thank you in advance,
Jarek

Hi Jarek,

I've Windows 7 64Bits installed on a Dell Inspiron 1764. 

In my computer, a very straight way to reproduce this issue is: writting code you find that something went wrong, press backspace to delete the mistyped code and try to change keyboard layout using the sequence previously indicated.  At this point intelisense's popup window is displayed and the whole VS IDE Window turns into gray.

Hope it helps!
Thanks..

Thank you for the details,
Could you also tell me which project types do you work with?
If it's C++, then it may be caused by background file processing which uses VS SDK COM objects.
This can be disabled from Tools | VSCommands | Options | Text Editor | C++

Hi Jarek

No I'm using VB.Net on Silverlight, ASP.Net and Winforms projects.

Seems to be working on version 3.8.0.6

Thank you very much!

if I try to use debug as administrator/normal user/diffrent user I always get this error messages:

Hi Marco,
Sorry for this issue, I'll try to reproduce and fix as soon as possible.
Can you tell me what kind of project are you trying to debug (c#/vb,web application/mvc3/winforms/etc.).

Thank you in advance,
Jarek

Problem occours with WinXP x86 and Win7 x64

It would be nice to easily tell which features you can disable so you don't see the upgrade to pro window. Like in some of the other options were it says pro next to it.

On exiting the application it hangs visual studio for several minutes.
Its so bad that we can't use it. 
Disable the add-on, and its goes away.
Any ideas? 
-Future Pro customers if its fixed

FYI, I'm normally working on build scripts and require that the application be opened and closed often to reload dependencies. The projects also tend to have very large ORM files in it as well. I tried disabling the code analysis stuff, but didn't seem to make a difference. So I doubt its related.

Hi amsmatt1,
First let me appologise for this problem, I'll try to reproduce it locally and fix as soon as possible.
Could you tell me what kind of projects do you use in your solution (C#/VB/C++/Web App,WCF, etc.)?
If possible, could you also email me exported settings from Windows Registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\vscommands.configuration to support@vscommands.com?

Thank you in advance,
Jarek

File structure should be asynchronous. It blocks the system and performance is horrible.
I'm gonna have to disable this great feature until it becomes asynchronous.
Also there should be an option to cancel the parsing operation, sometime you just wanna peep into a file without loading the file structure.

Thanks

And should also cashe the structure so next loading is faster.

Hi Shimmy,
Could you tell me which file types have performance issue with File Structure?

Generally all parsing happens asynchronously, with the exception of C++ parsing which uses VS SDK Code Model (because C++ Code Model is using COM objects).

Also, are you on the latest version (3.8.0.3)?

The structure is cached on a logical/data level. I'm investigating the possibility of caching UI as well as what seems to be a bottle neck now is a binding of data to the UI.

It would also be great if you could email me a file which takes long to load on your machne so I can try to reproduce this problem (support@vscommands.com).

Thank you in advance,
Jarek

I set parsing to "Background" unchecking "when opening".

Now everything works like a ghost!!!
Thank you!!!

BTW, the lang. was C#.

Aso thanks for your quick reply!!

Thank you for the update on this problem.
I will double check the performance of parsing on file openening and try to fix soon.

Kind Regards,
Jarek Kardas

Since installing VSCommands 2010 (3.7.3.13) Visual Studio crashes every time a "Find in Files" is performed over the entire solution. The solution is entirely VC++. 

Additional information - this appears to only occur when the "process files" features are turned on. By turning that off, the find in files became stable again.

Since installing VSCommands 2010 (3.7.3.13), Visual Studio 2010 now completely freezes when trying to access solution properties. The only course of action then is to kill the IDE and restart it.

Seems like a pretty major bug.

Hi Adam,

I was unable to reproduce this bug locally on different test environments.
Could you provide bit more context about the bug? Is it freezing as soon as you open Properties page or on a specific section of it?

Could you run Visual Studio with /Log parameter and send me activity log and VSCommnadsLog.txt from %APPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0 ?

Thanks in advance,
Jarek

Cannot get start without debugging to work on a normal WPF app. When I click the right click menu option nothing happens.

Hi there,
Could you let me know if anything is logged to VSCommands output window?

Thanks in advance,
Jarek

Hi,

I wanted to know if I could use VSCommands Pro to debug a Visual Studio web application as a different user with credentials pertaining to a different domain.

Please reply.

Thanks

Hi,

I'm afraid that Web Projects are not supported at the moment.
This question gets asked quite often though so I will investigate possibility of implementing it soon.
You can follow the progress on VSCommands support forum http://getsatisfaction.com/dpstudio/topics/debug_as_add_support_for_web_projects

Thanks,
Jarek

I really like this function.
One minor issue is when projects are in a collapsed solution folder it can not find these files.

Hi Nyos,
Thank you for letting me know about this issue. I have raised it as a new problem on vscommands.com/community and will try to reproduce it in next couple of days. 

You can monitor progress at http://getsatisfaction.com/dpstudio/topics/locate_in_solution_and_solution_folders

Thanks!

This has been fixed in 3.7.3.5 release.
