Weird issue regarding debugging using Visual Studio 2010 Express

Question

Hi all ,

I'm a beginner in C# ,and i have a problem regarding debugging and running applications from VS 2010 ... Sometimes -for some certain projects- when i press F5 , the VS 2010 CPU usage jumps to 50% and my app. just won't run.. and nothing happen , i tried to rebuild the solution , but still , High CPU usage and no app. running at all .. i checked if there's a running app. already in the task manager but there wasn't ... all i can do , i just copy the whole code and create a new project and past the code in it , but this isn't really a solution... So can anybody help please ?

thanks in advance :)

Sometimes when pressing F5 (starts with debugger the currently active project) I get an error message. By doing it a second time, it works. I think this is a small bug in VS2010.

If you don't see an error message, can it be that your program starts, runs and closes so fast that you don't see it? Try with F11 instead of F5 to figure it out.

This could be the case for console based applications and not for the GUI apps. Is that what you mean by it works for "some" projects?
