After upgrading to 10.7.1903.0 I'm having an intermittent problem with the "Open File in Solution" dialog. Sometimes when I open a solution, the only files that show up in that dialog are the ones that are already open. (i.e. instead of seeing 18,000 files, I see 7). Restarting VS2008 will "fix" the problem.
Here is my info:
VA_X.dll file version 10.7.1903.0 built 2012.04.03
DevEnv.exe version 9.0.30729.1 Professional
msenv.dll version 9.0.30729.1
Font: Courier New 13(Pixels)
Comctl32.dll version 6.10.7601.17514
Windows 7 6.1 Build 7601 Service Pack 1
4 processors (x86-64;
WOW64)
Language info: 1252, 0x1009

When you have this problem, if you close the Open File in Solution dialog, and then open it again, what do you see? I am wondering if this just happens the first time you open this dialog, or if this is an ongoing problem until you restart the IDE.
Do you have any other Add-in's installed?
Do you have:
Open File in Solution dialog -> Show only files in the current solution
turned On or Off? Does changing this setting have any effect when you see this problem? |

So I have the problem up right now. It shows "36 of 36" files, when there are actually 18,000. Also, I was mistaken when I said the file in the dialog were ones that are already open. In fact, the files in the dialog are files that reside in the same directory as the current file open in the IDE. (i.e. when you start up VS2008 and the last file you worked on is already open). Changing files does not update the dialog.
If I close all of the open files, it expands the file listing to 61, but the files it adds seem to be ones in the same directory as the files that I closed.
To answer your questions:
1) This is an on going problem until I restart the IDE
2) I have a few add-ins: metalscroll, Incredibuild, two game console SDKs. The only recent add-in change was upgrading Visual Assist.
3) Changing the "show only files" option adds 4 more files to the dialog.
It may also be important to note that we create ah .ncb directory so there is no VS intellisense at work. |

A .ncb directory should not cause any such problems, quite a few of our users disable the IDE intellisense scanner for performance reasons.
What programming language are you working with?
Do you know if your projects are normal, standard IDE projects, or if they were created with some custom tool or process?
Are you doing any form of source code sync or update when restarting the IDE? I am wondering if the solution or project files could be changing here.
When this fails, and VA is just finding the other files in the same directory sounds like the expected behaviour when there is no solution / project, or working in a makefile project. So I am wondering if VA is having problems loading the solution / project file. This could happen if the files are in an unexpected format, or if something, e.g. anti-virus software was blocking access to the files.
Can you please try loading the IDE, but do NOT load your solution. Then turn on VA logging, then load the solution, and see if you get this problem. If you do get the problem, please close the IDE to stop the log files getting any larger, and then send me the logs. Hopefully they will offer some clues.
Please see this FAQ for details of turning on VA's logging, and sending us the log files
