[RESOLVED] Invalid Operation exception

[gwboolean]

I have the following notice showing up in Visual Studio (2022).

'VisualBasicMoveStaticMembersRefactoryingProvider' encountered an error and has been disabled.

Stack Trace:

System.InvalidOperationException : Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.

I am given 3 choices. I can enable the provider. I can Enable and ignore future errors. Or I can do nothing and just continue.

Given that I really have no idea what above mentioned provider is for, or does. And given that I do not understand more than a small bit of the Stack Trace content, I have no idea what choice I should make. Thus far, I have ignored it and have not noticed any effect on the project I am working. I would prefer to deal with this.

What is this for, and can I enable it without screwing something up?

Were you trying to do something specific at the time? It's basically VS trying to help you organise your code so you don't have to do everything manually but something has failed along the way. When I see errors like that, I usually just enable the provider unless it happens a lot. You can enable and ignore but it means that something may not work as you expect in the future and you'll have no explanation for why. I'd enable and then pay attention to exactly what you were doing at the time if it happens again. If it does happen again, it's up to you to decide how often is too often.

I will do that. I do not know when this showed up. I just noticed it. I will keep a weather eye out.

I typically choose Enable and ignore future errors. I hate being bugged about IDE glitches while I'm writing code. I haven't noticed any downsides to this choice yet.

I enabled the property. I have not seen anything that I can associate with that since. I assume that the condition is rectified.
