title: Visual Studio 2010 - Viewing lists during debug results in timeout
body: <p>I am trying to debug a project, suddenly I'm running into an issue where enumerating any object collections results in a timeout if I try to view it.</p>
  
  <p>If I run the program normally I have no issues. If I try to view any collection, such as a list, I get a timeout error and the whole thing bombs out.</p>
  
  <p>I thought something might be going on with one of my more complex collections so I tried creating just a normal list of strings as follows...</p>
  
  <pre><code>List&lt;string&gt; blah = new List&lt;string&gt;{"fsdf","fsdg","Gt","gsersg","ser","gersgxdrsd"};
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The same thing happens. I can hover over the object, I can even see the object count, however if I view the collection it dies.</p>
  
  <p>I've ensured that the project/class library is in debug mode, disabled all extensions, restarted the system, tried percusive maintnence - nothing has worked.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any ideas? I'm completely losing my mind here. </p>

  <p>I should also mention that this is a web application, I didn't notice before but a w3wp debug window pops up after I stop debugging. Sorry to leave out important info - was too frustrated to think straight when I wrote the post. I can still execute my code normally, and while debugging. I can examine all other objects without issue, it is only looking at collections in the watch window (or by hovering) that breaks.</p>
