    Hi BxB

    Thanks a lot for the bug report. I'd really appreciate knowing a bit about the kind of solution you had open when this happened. Was it a normal solution, or generated from an application crashing. What kind of solution is is (web site or winforms etc) and is there anything notable about the startup project of the solution?

    Thanks,

    Hi Alex

    Its a winform solution containing various projects but I've configured it to start multiple projects when debugging (the winform client and a service).

    After setting only one starting project it works, but I have this error during the decompilation process:
    ####################################
    .NET Reflector could not delete the file or directory D:\_TMP\_SYMBOLS\System.Drawing.pdbbecause it was locked.This may be because the Visual Studio hosting process is enabled. To disable it, uncheck Project->Properties->Debug 'Enable the Visual Studio Hosting Process'

    Multiple startup projects, ah, I thought it might be. Thanks a lot for the report, I'll make sure that case is added to our automated tests.

    Glad the message about the VS Hosting process helped you.
