Call Browser is not working in VS2005

Call Browser is not working in VS2005

  well, it looks like Call Browser is available only for c/c++.
  is this really true
  if so, i will definitely not be renewing my msdn this year.
  i truly try so hard to "like" and even admire Microsoft, but ... i'll stop here.
  
  thanks for your responses, ted.

  Can you try deleting your NCB, SUO, and BSC files and rebuild  

  I've had several occasions where a corrupted NCB file would stop many items from working properly, and going into an endless NCB regeneration loop.

  Yes, BSC is generated by C++ - Browser Information settings, and you're right, the browser information has nothing to do with the Call browser.

  I'm not sure why your call browser is not working.  Other than the NCB file, probably nothing else would affect it.  Did you try creating a brand new project and seeing if it works If not, then reinstalling Visual Studio 2005 may fix the problem.

  Ted.

  So the question is:

  WHY

  As in why doesn't it work for say C#

  (sorry, just had to ask)

  Compared to what This feature was missing in VS.NET 2002 and VS.NET 2003 too!

  Not a problem - I actually thought you were using C++.  What are you using      It's mentioned in the help as well that it's only supported by C++.

  I admire them for getting this brand new feature into the product.  Other languages get the class designer but C++ does not.  So we get something that the others don't for a change.

  i knew about the NCB trick but did not know about SUO or BSC.
  however, i do not see any BSC file to delete. i seem to recall it is 'browse source' file and under vs6, had to set an option to create it.
  i could not find one for VS2005. is there one
  thanks...

  It's a feature that has been written for C++.  It hasn't been written for other languages.  So just like any other feature, trade-offs were made when deciding what languages would get it (e.g. no class designer for C++, no Clickonce for C++ IDE).

  i currently have the VS2005 Pro and
  it does in fact include the Call Browser.
  it just does not work at the moment.
  any ideas on how to fix it

  thanks for the confirmation, ted.
  what i'd expected from vs2005 pro is to make this type of issues a non-issue for the developer.
  the call browser option is not available in the right-click context menu.
  if they had also disabled it from the View/OtherWindows,
  i would probably have guessed that the feature was not available.
