Hi, all. I'm a licensed user of Visual Assist X.

In my office, there are 3 developers who are using VA-X with VS2005.
And the other 2 developers are not using VA-X.

In the system on which VA-X is installed, VS2005 goes to hang when closing VS2005 IDE, for some solution files.
If I close the solution right after opening the solution without building, then no problem. However, if I build the solution once, then the IDE goes to hang when closing the solution.

Disabling VA-X before closing the solution does not make any difference.

The problem occurs only in VA-X users' computer. Without VA-X installed, no problem.
Do you have any idea?

Your call stack includes .NET managed code which cannot be from VA X. (VA X doesn't have any.)

Is there anything in common with the solutions that cause the crash on exit? Are they C#? Managed C?

Can you disable "at startup" the AMD code analysis add-in? While you don't think there should be conflict, sometimes it happens anyhow, and at exit is a common place for a conflict to occur.

i have just emailed support again about this one, in the hope they will be able to make some sense of this.

Hi, all.
No more information on this issue?
Jaeyoun Yi Posted - Jul 04 2006 : 04:15:00 AM
I tried 1528, but no difference.

Thank you all.

To feline:
The call stack of the hung IDE was in the above. (The 3rd reply).
I'll try VA logging soon.
And my system has a Dual-Core CPU (AMD Athlon64 X2 4200+).
But one of users in my office is runnig VAX on Single CPU (Intel Pentium4) system and he is suffering from same problem.

To support:
My VAX version is 10.2.1446.0 (built 2006.5.31)
I'll try 1528 later too.
support Posted - Jul 02 2006 : 2:57:37 PM
Unloading VA X, or many other complex add-ins, while running within VS2005 does cause the IDE to crash. This is why we recommend only to disable "at startup." (Unloading a complex add-in about which the IDE knows so little is quite traumatic.)

Your test case on the new Windows install seems very clean. (We appreciate your effort.)

Can we assume the other add-in, AMD code analysis, was not yet installed?

What build of VA X do you have? (We don't seem to know from this thread.) If not already, can you try build 1528?

feline Posted - Jul 01 2006 : 4:55:40 PM
it is possible the localised IDE is a factor. is it possible for you to get a call stack of the hung IDE? hopefully that might give us some clues. the other thing to try is to turn on VA logging before closing the IDE, so we can get a log.

does your machine have multiple processors?

Deleting ncb files does not affect this problem.

Today, I had to reinstall the windows on my system, so I could test this problem clearly.

After installing VS2005 right after installing windows (xp64), there's no prbolem in the above.
No hang nor crash when closing the IDE, even after building the solution.
Next I installed the latest VAX and opened the solution and built it. Then, VS2005 hangs when closing the IDE.
Disabling VAX (using registry tweak) cause crashes.

Anyway, there are two more developers in my office, who are suffering from the same problem.
Haven't you guys here ever experienced it?
Then, I guess it may be related to Korean-localized version of VS2005 only.

feline Posted - Jun 26 2006 : 4:19:09 PM
a long shot, you could try deleting any ncb files you have. in VS2003 these can get corrupt, and cause the IDE to crash. the IDE simply rebuilds these files if you delete them. there is normally one per solution, in the solution base directory.

you may want to uninstall VA, and see if the IDE still crashes.

how easy is it to reinstall both VA and the AMD code analysis plugin? if it is quick it may be worth a try, to see if that helps.
Jaeyoun Yi Posted - Jun 26 2006 : 04:23:06 AM
Thank you jpizzi.
I tested the case after disabling VAX according to your post.
My test procedure is:
Disabling VAX in regedit --> Opening the solution in VS2005 --> Build --> Close IDE.
Then, the IDE always goes to crash...
Now I think it's not a VAX isssue...
Do you have any idea?
jpizzi Posted - Jun 16 2006 : 09:24:40 AM
To disable VA manually, you can use Regedit or a script to change the following registry value:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\8.0\\Addins\\VAssistNET.Connect8
To disable set value of LoadBehavior to 0.
To enable set value of LoadBehavior to 1.

Please note that you need to do this when the IDE is not running.
jpizzi Posted - Jun 16 2006 : 02:02:42 AM
The crash when you disable VA is a known problem.

case=1167

It is, however, very low on the list of items to fix. I have asked if there is a known workaround. Will let you know.
feline Posted - Jun 15 2006 : 6:01:23 PM
can you try disabling the AMD code-analysist plugin to see if it makes a difference. in order to work VA has to hook into the IDE all over the place, so strange things can and do happen with other plugins.

i will ask support and see if they have any ideas on this.
Jaeyoun Yi Posted - Jun 15 2006 : 12:44:37 AM
Ooops!
Diabling VAX in Add-in manager always crashes IDE !! What's the problem?
Jaeyoun Yi Posted - Jun 15 2006 : 12:37:25 AM
To bugfix:

Thank you for your reply.
I knew that whole-tomato announce the localized VS is not supported. But up to now incuding VS2003, VA-X has been working perfectly.
I tried to close my IDE after disabling VAX in Tools->Add-in Manager. Then the IDE crashed, not hanged.


To feline,
Thanks for your reply.
In Add-in manager, I can see only two plugins, VAX and AMD Code Analysist. But I don't think AMD code-analysist is the reason.

As I described in the previous post, this hang always happend when the IDE opens "some solution files" and build them.
Before building the solution, then no problem.
In 'some solution files', it happens all the time. But for the others, no problem at all.
And deleting the ncb file does not make difference.

As for the call-stack, do you want to see the call-stack of the IDE?
If so, the call stack is as follows:

> mscorlib.dll!System.Threading.WaitHandle.WaitAny(System.Threading.WaitHandle[] waitHandles, int millisecondsTimeout, bool exitContext) + 0x63 bytes
System.dll!System.Net.TimerThread.ThreadProc() + 0x246 byte
mscorlib.dll!System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart_Context(object state) + 0x3b byte
mscorlib.dll!System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(System.Threading.ExecutionContext executionContext, System.Threading.ContextCallback callback, object state) + 0x81 byte
mscorlib.dll!System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart() + 0x40 byte


feline Posted - Jun 14 2006 : 6:15:27 PM
can you load a second copy of the IDE and use it to get a call stack next time this happens?
are there any other plugin's installed?
is there any pattern to this hang? does it happen every time, or only some of the time?
as a wild guess, does deleting the ncb file for the solution make any difference? these are prone to getting corrupt in the earlier IDE's, and when they are corrupt the IDE can crash.
bugfix Posted - Jun 14 2006 : 01:34:13 AM
Are you using a localized version of VS?
If so read: http://www.wholetomato.com/support/problems.html

Disabling VAX doesn't really disable it, try disabling it in Tools->Add-in Manager.
