Bug where it becomes impossible to save your files

Hi all,

Has anybody encountered a bug where somehow XNA game studio express doesn't allow you to save your files? I've encountered it once (and I forgot the message it popped up unfortunately), but I thought it was a one-off thing. Then a co-worker told me he got it quite regularly when starting and stopping programs. Just wondering if this is something that more people are experiencing.

At the time I had two XGSE's open, one with my (saved) project, and one with a temporary spacewar project. Unfortunately when I was trying to repro this bug, I couldn't get it to do this again. My co-worker gets it when editing files while the program is running.

Cheers,
Nick Waanders

I had a problem like this, I think it was after some exceptions that were caused when running the program.

This occurs in C# Express correct? This may be XNA Game Studio Express releated, do you use C# Express with other projects and have had it happen? If it continues I would at least file a bug on it. We can get it to someone else if we need to.

I'm not sure if it's C# express or XNA. When I want to build C# apps I usually revert to my Visual Studio Pro, so I've only really noticed it with XNA projects.

When I get it again, I'll try and make a screenshot of the error..

My co-worker had this problem too and he was saying that he was editing a source file while the game was running. Then he got an error every time he tried to save after that, even after stopping the game.

i have seen this problem a few times. It seems to happen after doing editing whilte the project is paused. Closing c# expres and restarting it fixes the problem. If i see it again iw ill post the exact error text.

I have been trying to recreate this issue with no sucess but I know I will find it when just programming.
