I have dotless 1.3.1.0 nuget package installed on VS2012 and since 2 days or so it doesn't work anymore. Not even in older Projects that I didn't edit.
Whole .less file stays colorless with no live sample on the right, no intellisense and it's not compiled into the .css file anymore.
Already tried to reinstall it but that didn't help.
Anyone else experiencing problems? Solution?
Since noone seems to answer (dotless is also pretty unknown) I can give a part solution myself. I installed Mindscape http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/2b96d16a-c986-4501-8f97-8008f9db141a that also has no highlighting in the left pane but it has a working right css pane. You can see that it doesn't work as it should do but it compiles and that's fine for now until I reinstall Visual Studio one day (I think VS is the problem).
Maybe that helps someone else too :-D

I have an Umbraco 7.6.1 site which I'm trying to upgrade to a later version, I'm not sure which version I'm going to yet, but the problem exists no matter the version jump.
The Umbraco project is set up in Visual Code IDE and uses NuGet.
So I go to the projects NuGet package manager and update UmbracoCMS from 7.6.1 to 7.6.2. I don't overwrite files. I've tried overwriting files and checking what it's doing in git, but with no luck either.
All seems well. I then build the project and load up the site in debugging mode. I get asked to log in and pushed to the upgrade page. I then hit continue and shown "Error during installation" instantly. It also tells me to check the logs, which are non-existent.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Dan
To fix the issue I was having I commented out any rewrite rules I was including in my main Web.config and cleared out everything in the bin folder and re-built the solution. That seemed to have done the trick.
I opened up an old ASP.NET MVC5 project in Visual Studio 2019 and IntelliSense is not making any suggestions for certain things.
As you can see below, ActionResult was not suggested and not highlighted as a recognized keyword.
Also, even though I have my using MyClassLibraryProject.NameSpace is in place, IntelliSense is not making any suggestions about methods in that project.
If I type things out myself, my solution compiles fine and everything works.
Any idea why IntelliSense may not be working?
It seems like a known issue, please check this and I tried to follow your description to test, to workaround this issue, please upgrade the package 'Microsoft.Net.Compilers' to the latest version 1.3.0 and the intellisense works fine like the following:
Any time I try to paste anything in a CSHTML file that contains Razor markup or targets a line inside a code block - the entire Visual Studio freezes for almost a minute.
I've applied SP1 for Visual Studio. I'm using ASP.NET MVC 3.
I also only have this problem on a single computer so I'm guessing there's some sort of application or version mismatch I'm simply not seeing. I'm running ReSharper and upgraded it to 6.0 to no avail (though the Razor code inspection works and is really nice).
It's only if I paste a line containing Razor markup that the issue occur. I get no errors on the copy operation, and if I'm pasting regular HTML without Razor markup or outside code blocks in the very same file there're no issues whatsoever. No problems pasting in any other kinds of files like .cs or .aspx. Freshly created MVC 3 projects suffer as well as existing old projects.
I resolved this a while ago but I don't recall exactly which component was the issue - but it was either SP1 for Visual Studio that was in fact not RTM (though it wasn't obvious when looking at the about dialog hence the difficulty in figuring out) or, more likely according to my memory, a pre-RTM version of MVC 3 installed, also not obvious at all when looking through the installed components list.
It took some manual work to get all the related components uninstalled, including some registry hacks, before reinstalling the RTM version and then the problem disappeared. I did not have to reinstall Visual Studio or any of my addons.
Hope this helps someone with similar problems, carefully investigate the exact build numbers of the suspected components. They may in fact be pre-RTM :9
Have you tried to reset the Visual Studio settings? I can't promise this will help but I think it would be worth a try (devenv.exe /ResetSettings). If that doesn't help, I think you will have to re-install Visual Studio.
Upgraded from MVC Beta to MVC RC1.
Re-pointed all references in the project to point to the new assemblies
Rebooted
Everything compiles (and runs!)
But...
Opening a view (.aspx) in VS and she just disappears!
Event Viewer gives:
NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.3053 - Fatal Execution Engine Error (6E075E00) (80131506)
Update 1:
Not ALL .aspx pages!
Also - it seems that writing the question on StackOverflow is the fix! grr
Update 2:
Not had the problem since posting the question but:
The only plugins I have are VisualSVN and Resharper.
I do seem to have something in the GAC for System.Web.Mvc - but it looks like the wrong version and I can't get rid of it.
I believe it must be related to some intelli-sense colouring or similar during the render of the code of the .aspx page - but now it's stopped it is hard to confirm...
Try removing all bin/obj directories, and clearing your Temporary ASP.NET Files and %TEMP% directories. Then issue the following commands from a VS2008 command prompt:
ngen /delete System.Web.Mvc
ngen /delete System.Web.Abstractions
ngen update
Also ensure that all your references (MvcContrib, anything else built against MVC) are pointing to the same version of MVC as all the others.
This seems to have worked for me (so far)
There are some framework bugs that affect all VS add-ins etc if they reference System.Core v3.5. Start by clearing out the NGen cache. "ngen update", "ngen /delete [assemblyname]" or a sweeping "ngen /delete *" usually does the trick

Update 3: Microsoft has a CLR patch (KB963676) that fixes this problem. It is not available for download from microsoft.com but it can be requested through MSFT support / PSS.
Update 4: The CLR patch is now available for download from Microsoft Connect:

I had to remove the PowerCommands add-in to get VS working again.
I've had problems like that before. It was the webform editor. If you right-click the aspx file and choose "open with..." and select Html-editor the ide will most likely not crash on you.
Try disabling addIns one by one.
For me it was a conflict between gallio and testdriven.net I think.
Microsoft have now released a hotfix to resolve this issue.

I'm having the same problem and have posted a reply on the official ASP.NET MVC forum at http://forums.asp.net/t/1378448.aspx
I'm not sure, but are you also seeing reference to the Html helpers not showing up in the views (when they don't crash)?
I don't have Gallio installed, but I do have Resharper. I'll see if disabling that helps (although that would cause me a lot of anguish).
Update: Resharper wasn't the issue, but rather the plugin "Huagati DBML/EDMX Tools." It seems some plugins might be conflicting and I encourage people to disable all plugins as a preliminary step in debugging the crashes.
I have found that any compile issues with the master page or the page itself -- even warnings -- can cause this to happen. So close the project, delete the bin and obj directories, then re-open the project. Next open your master page(s) and any other recently changed aspx/ascx files. It is important to open all before you compile.
Now, viewing each page one at a time, compile the project and resolve the warnings. Once all the warnings are resolved, close the pages and try to re-open them.
I got the exact same error. At first I thought it was the Spark View Engine add-in (because it crashed opening views) but after Christian's comment about Gallio and TestDriven.NET (I have both) I uninstalled Gallio and now it works.
The problem was indeed, powercommands for VS 2008. Uninstall them if you can live without them and the aspx pages/designers will open fine.
Actually I think my problem was some rogue copies of the Beta MVC DLLs hanging around.
I deleted them all, uninstalled the RC1 and made sure they all left the GAC and then reinstalled the RC1. So far everything seems fine.
This occurred for me after setting the reference to System.Web.Mvc to Copy Local = True. This placed the System.Web.Mvc.dll file in my bin folder.
The next time I opened any aspx pages Visual Studio crashed. Changing the dll in the bin to System.Web.Mvc.dll.bak fixed the problem.
I finally (after a fews days of trying everything) got it resolved by uninstalling the Spark View Engine add-in, which crashed when opening .aspx and .js files!
I've recently installed the MVC CTP5 and VS is now crashing on me when I try to open an aspx, I get the following error in event viewer:
.NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.3053 - Fatal Execution Engine Error (7A035E00) (80131506)
I was able to find This post on the asp.net forums relating to the same issue but nobody has had a working solution yet (at least not for me).
Just wondering if anyone else has run into this issue and what they have done to resolve it?
EDIT: Wanted to add that I have tried all the tips in the article and can open the markup with a code editor but was wondering an actual solution had been found to resolve this issue.. Thanks!
EDIT: I don't have this issue on my Vista box, seems to only occur on my XP VM.
I had a problem with Power Commands and Preview 5. If you have Power Commands installed, try updating or uninstalling it to fix the issue.
Here are a steps to work around from the post that work for me:
1.Open project based on CTP5
2.IN solution Explorer, enable "Show All files"
3.Open "bin" folder and delete "Microsoft.Web.Mvc.dll", "System.Web.Mvc.dll", "System.Web.Abstractions.dll", "System.Web.Routing.dll"
4.Open "References" folder, click ONCE "System.Web.Abstractions" and in Properties window change "Copy Local" to true. Repeat same with System.Web.Routing.
5.Build application (Ctrl+Shift+B)
6.Open site.master in designer. VS will not crash.
FYI - Microsoft has released a hotfix that fixes [at least some variations of] this problem:

A bit of a null answer but I’ve been having this too. Not that I restart VS often but cleaning out the bin folder before opening the web project is my workaround.
Have same problem, on vista x64 and vs2008 sp1. Have to do probably something with cleaning bin folder and system.web.routing/abstraction, because it crashes even on webforms project with (mvc) routing in it. When I delete all files from bin, and add references again, it works fine.
Really annoying bug in vs2008+ctp5!
