Visual C# Express and CPU Hogging


I've bumped into this a few times, so I thought I'd pass it on.

C# Express, on Virtual PC. You're playing around with debugging a winform. The VPC's CPU spikes to 100% and so does your host. Attempting to force the winform, and even C# express down won't do it. You just keep getting blank stares.

On the Processes tab of your Task Manager - look for something called dumprep.exe hogging CPU and nuke it. You'll get your box back.

(Even with this obnoxious and occasional bug, I still prefer even just C# Express to VS 2003 - it's THAT much better, and hey, it's still in beta.)
