[SOLVED] Visual Studio is acting weird

I am having some trouble with the Visual Studio IDE.

I have a solution sol.sln and I have some projects under it. All the project files and solution file are under source control. I have added the projects to source control using Visual Studio itself, so I couldn't have gone wrong there. When I open the solution and build it, it tries to save every project that is in the solution. Since the .csproj files are under source control, it says 'Access denied' when it tries to save. I have been using this solution from more than 2 months now and this weird behavior has started recently.

Another behavior is that when I open the solution and try to close it (without any edits/changes) it asks me if I want to save the following files and the list of files contains all the projects under the solution and the solution itself. I am going nuts trying to figure out what the problem is. I tried deleting the .suo file, but that didn't help.

Any idea what the problem is

    Update:

    I let the Visual Studio save the project files. It inserted this snippet:
    <ItemGroup>
    <Service Include="{B4F97281-0DBD-4835-9ED8-7DFB966E87FF}" />
    </ItemGroup>

    Can someone tell me what this means I looked the up the net and found out that it is something to do with project templates and template engine. What does this mean

    Thanks in advance,

    I removed VSTS and it didn't help a bit. after digging around the registry for that specific GUID, it points to Domain-Specific Language Tools. And I do remember I installed the VS SDK long time back but wonder why this problem crept on a few days ago. (I also installed the .NET 3.0 Runtime RC1, wonder if DSL tools is part of that setup)

    Anyway, I removed the relevant entries in the registry and now the problem seemed to go away.

    I'm having the same problem too. Does anybody know why this is happening I'd rather not play around in the registry...

    More info:

    I have vsts dev edition installed with .NET 3.0 and the vs sdk. I searched through my registry and I can't find any entries with: B4F97281-0DBD-4835-9ED8-7DFB966E87FF in it.

  • summerwind

    Did you find the reason for this I have the same problem with an old solution, all class projects are checked out and this code is added, same service GUID.

    I'm gonna try to find what service VS wants to start, but this is strange behavior
