Probably like most of you reading this post, I've got a love-hate thing going with VS2005. It's been ticking me off a lot lately, hanging a lot, sucking in more and more memory the longer I have it open, and I'm seeing occasional SQL2005 connection timeouts when too many VS2005 resources are in use. And this is VS2005 on a clean machine with VS2005 SP1. So I don't know if this is something I did on a custom CS site, perhaps because a user previously used for testing might have been deleted, or is a pure VS2005 thing. The problem was that I was trying to debug a CS2007 solution today and couldn't get past a Null Reference Exception on the CSContext.Current.User.
Maybe someone can tell me what I did, but I found a quick work-around of changing the start action to "Wait for an external application request." Firing up Firefox and loading the Visual Studio port-assigned localhost url (ex: http://localhost:5159) acknowledged the breaks I had set and allowed me to play through.
