how to stop“build must be stopped before the solution can be closed”

Question

The "Build" menu appears as it would if the solution were building, but the Cancel Build (Ctrl+Break) menu item has no effect.

Trying to close the application prompted as:

The build must be stopped before the solution can be closed.

Can anyone help me to resolve this problem?

Answer 1

Do this, look for msbuild process(es) and kill them before devenv. And make sure vbc really has gone too....

For any further crashes that occur frequently submit them to microsoft so that they can fix the bug...

Hoping it helped....
