Visual Studio 2005 RTM – Bugs Bugs Everywhere?

Posted by raymondlewallen on November 7, 2005

So I come in this morning and start catching up on the 339 unread
rss feed posts in my reader.  After 10 minutes, I’ve already come
across 4 great developers who have uncovered bugs in the VS 2005 RTM :|

I myself haven’t gotten very deep into RTM yet because I’ve been so
busy doing other stuff, but somebody even mentioned that they thought
Beta 2 was more stable than RTM.  I’d hate to go look at the MSDN
Feedback for VS2005 at the end of this week.  “Yes, we realize
that is a bug.  It will be fixed in the next major release.” 
Ouch.

Wesner Moise

Frans Bouma

Roy Osherove

Anatoly Lubarsky

Rick Strahl

No doubt that as I continue catching up, this list is going to
increase, but hopefully not significantly.  We’ll see.  I’ll
continue to add to this list, so check back periodically.

    I have VS 2005 installed on both of my PCS (one toshiba laptop and one Dell 400sc desktop). The windows XP on 400SC is a fresh installtion. That means, I have only few applications there. On both of these two computers, VS 2005 crashes. On the laptop, I see the blue screen; one the desktop, I see nothing but the blank screen and then BIOS….

    I have also seen occasional IDE crashes. I have not isolated it to a single source. I have noticed a potential breaking change “feature” in regards to reflection. See http://devauthority.com/blogs/jwooley/archive/2005/11/02/597.aspx
