I am trying to debug a project, suddenly I’m running into an issue where enumerating any object collections results in a timeout if I try to view it.
If I run the program normally I have no issues. If I try to view any collection, such as a list, I get a timeout error and the whole thing bombs out.
I thought something might be going on with one of my more complex collections so I tried creating just a normal list of strings as follows…
List<string> blah = new List<string>{"fsdf","fsdg","Gt","gsersg","ser","gersgxdrsd"};
The same thing happens. I can hover over the object, I can even see the object count, however if I view the collection it dies.
I’ve ensured that the project/class library is in debug mode, disabled all extensions, restarted the system, tried percusive maintnence – nothing has worked.
Does anyone have any ideas? I’m completely losing my mind here.
I should also mention that this is a web application, I didn’t notice before but a w3wp debug window pops up after I stop debugging. Sorry to leave out important info – was too frustrated to think straight when I wrote the post. I can still execute my code normally, and while debugging. I can examine all other objects without issue, it is only looking at collections in the watch window (or by hovering) that breaks.
