When I open VS.Net with 'load last project at startup' set but with all the code windows closed i.e. no files open. The 'Open File in Workspace' dialog is always empty, so I use the standard File Open dialog to open my first file. After this the 'Open File in Workspace' dialog is populated. Why is this?

I would suggest that we need a FAQ, but then some smart-ass would say, "Hey, why don't *you* write one?"

Anyhoo, try searching for this topic. You'll find a lot...

Another smart-ass might suggest we fix the problem.

Problem is fixed in a private beta. The fix will become publicly available shortly.

VA X does not know about all of the files in your workspace until it finishes parsing your workspace, e.g. what's #included and what is not. That's why the OFIW dialog is blank at first. The fix is to put a "Parsing..." message in the dialog, then populate when parsing is done.

So, you're saying that if I wait long enough the dialog should eventually contain something when I invoke it? It doesn't seem to be the case. I've just waited 5 minutes here and the dialog is still empty. I didn't have the dialog up while waiting and there were no 'parsing' style messages in the VS status bar. I've got the option to parse on startup checked.

As soon as a load a .cpp file using File Open, I get a flicker of activity in the status bar, then afterwards the OFIW dialog is populated.

jfrancis, you need a newer version of VAX to get this fix. this is currently in beta, and will be released more widely soon.
