VA_X.dll file version 10.8.2031.0 built 2014.03.31
DevEnv.exe version 8.0.50727.42 Professional
msenv.dll version 8.0.50727.42

It used be works normally. but I don't know when it works abnormal.


"Edit Refactoring Snippets" works normally

"Find References" shows dialog says:

--Find Reference is not available because the symbol is unrecognized.

I cleared History,cache and temporary files.
And rebuild Symbol databases.

Even I uninstalled VA restart PC and install it again.
It still gray and not work.

Any clue?

It is the same as this old Topic.

- Are there specific symbols where it don't work?
- Or is it that it sometimes work and sometimes doesn't for all symbols?
- Is there any new "complex" macro in the code? For example, macros that calling other macros or that generates code?
- Have you installed a new extension recently for Visual Studio?
- What programming language are you using?
- Can you please try creating a clean new win32 test project to see if Find References work there? (or a C# Windows Forms Application if you're using C#).
I'm wondering whether the problem is project specific or not.

No. all the symbols are not work.

No. all the times not work.

No.

No.
- What programming language are you using?
VS20005 C++. (VS2010 using C# works normal now).
- Can you please try creating a clean new win32 test project to see if Find References work there? (or a C# Windows Forms Application if you're using C#).
I careated a new Project, it works normally.
It looks like project specific.
But I opened another old simple project(c++) (which not changed any code for a long time,It used be work normally), that works abnormal now just like my mian complex project.
Then I opened another old simple project(C#),it works abnormal too.
- I'm wondering whether the problem is project specific or not.
Looks not.

I don't really know what to make of this, but I'm glad it's working now.
When odd things like this happens (it's very rare, thankfully) usually a rebuild all symbol databases help. (VA Options -> Performance -> Rebuild)

One idea: when you rebuild your symbol databases, you need to restart ALL instances of Visual Studio, so if you happen to be running 2 Visual Studios, you need to exit both.
Or maybe you restarted your computer in the meantime?
Hopefully it was a one-off problem.

my solution is restore my install back to a very very old version -- 1727 build 2009.06.12.

When you posted earlier that VA had started working again, had you changed VA version then, or was that while you were still using VA 2031?

Can you try using a more recent version of VA, and see if that still works? Perhaps VA 1949? You can download older versions of VA from this page:
