Visual Studio 2005 - Projects Disappearing

Hmmm, a new odd problem that has just begun. From time to time VS throws a whole bunch of projects out of the solution. It will say "42 projects" at the top of Solution Explorer when it only displays about 20 or so. Closing VS and reopening this fix fix this, although it's a bit of a pain since it takes a little time to open the .sln.

We are launching VS2005 and are mainly working on solution 42 projects targeting Compact Framework 2.00. I'm pretty much the only one using Resharper here (despite my recommendations to others and their occasional oOoing and admiration for its beauty), so I use CTRL + T to find the classes, but when I press SHFT + ALT + L to select an item in the solution explorer (for viewing history in TFS) it doesn't match anything I've noticed this issue.

Has anyone experienced this before?

Well this question is very old now and according to my old self:

I think I just rebooted or something and I haven't seen the problem yet.



This seems to be about as close as we'll ever get to a solution, so for now I'll put this as the accepted answer.

While this doesn't address your problem directly, do you consider breaking it down into multiple solutions? I would guess that VS chokes when it starts getting so big and you are probably working in an untested (although not supported, I suppose) situation, as I doubt MS testers have created a solution containing 40 projects. all targeting CF.NET.



If you can break it then I would suggest and I bet the problem goes away. Also, have you tried installing the VS Service Pack? If not, here .
