Assertion Failed error from MonitorDocumentsService during project load

When loading a solution containing several projects (converted from VS2003) I get the following error message twice:


Assertion Failed: Abort=Quit, Retry=Debug, Ignore=Continue

 X

at MonitorDocumentsService.OnBeforeDocumentWindowShow(UInt32 docCookie, Int32 fFirstShow, IVsWindowFrame pFrame)


If I try to debug it just shows disassembly code and doesn't help.

If I select Ignore, I can continue and things seem to be OK.

Any ideas where to look

Thanks!

David

    Hi

    I'm also getting it with native .NET2 applications and I haven't installed any other software. Anyone out there have an idea what it could be

    Hi -

    I'm experiencing the same problem. I tried reinstalling Visual Studio 2005, but I still see the same thing. It comes up mostly when I'm flipping through the properties of a project. If I go to too many tabs, then I see this Assertion Failure. I'm running Visual Studio Team Edition for Software Developers on Windows XP SP2. I also have Visual Studio 2003 installed.

    I am seeing this assertion failure in any project, regardless of whether it was converted from VS 2003 or not. I also see this assertion failure in both Smart Device projects and Windows application projects.

    I'm not quite sure what this could be, but my coworker who also has a nearly identical setup does not experience this problem.

    I am using OnTime 5.1 with the Visual Studio 2003 plug-in and unfortunately, I don't have the installer and can't get it removed, but I'm not sure if this is affecting VS2005 since I don't see any of OnTime's features in VS2005.

    Thanks in advance,

    Justin

    I have the same problem under Windows XP, Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite. I have never installed VS2003.

    To recreate the problem, all I have to do is start a new winforms project, and drop a button on the form. From that point forward I get this message every time I look at the design view of the form. Also, I get more error messages if I double click the button to get to the code behind.

    Hi < xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

     

    I have similar problem for VS2005 projects, when I try to view the code for a design view. It happened after installing Windows Workflow Foundation and the problem still appears after uninstall Windows Workflow Foundation .
