I have a love-hate relationship with Visual Studio. I spend most of my computing-work-day in this program, and I really hate when I have to fix the 'quirks' that it gets me with.
Today's bug happened when I was trying to document the use of a custom error page by documenting the section of the web.config that was necessary in the XML comments for the class definition.
I was met with resistance, and finally a crash from visual studio for my efforts. No worries. A quick search, and I'm back in business.
Thanks to the blogosphere, namely this fine guy http://blogs.msdn.com/djpark/archive/2007/11/29/public-hotfix-vs-2005-sp1-unresponsive-when-typing-in-an-xml-doc-comment.aspx, I'm a happy camper.
FIX: Visual Studio 2005 stops responding when you type "<" or ">" in the " <![CDATA[]]>" tag if you enable XML documentation for a project http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940201/en-us
It's nice when there's a patch for things, before you need them. I could say it would be nice if you didn't need them at all, but lets face it. I write worse code than the VS folks.
Thanks for the patch guys, keep rocking the code.
