Visual Studio not re-opening solutions

I've got a problem with Visual Studio.NET. Many times Visual Studio won't allow me to re-open a solution I've been working on when I start Visual Studio. I'll get the little revolving icon showing that it's connecting to the web server, but it just keeps going and the solution doesn't open. This happens quite frequently and is getting very frustrating. I've rerun the installation for Visual Studio and tried to repair the installation...no luck...same thing. Has this happened to anyone else or am I the only "lucky" guy? Any ideas on how to fix? Thanks.

Do you reference the web server similarly in your project and with web browser? There may be some security setting in IIS. IE, if you use http://localhost/ with your browser, but use http://server.domain.com with VS.NET, there may be some problems.

spoimala and ludmal, Thanks, but I'm sure the web server is running because when I hit it via the web browser, it's there. This problem happens inconsistently about 50% of the time. Any other suggestions?

It's maybe ur IIS server problem. try to use the web app in web browser. if it's working fine that means it must work with the VS also. and did u change the IIS port..? & check the IIS security.. Ludmal www.ludsoft.com

There's a problem with your web server, not with VS. Are you sure it is running at all?
