I came up with SmartInspect for .SIL files, too - a few hours ago, when I
needed a break from a problem with an app.config setting. 

Apparently, it's a well-regarded logging tool for .NET - $200+

SmartInspect isn't licensed for use within Resharper v6.0, is it?

(love the company name)

Yeah, I wondered so did a full scan. Its a work machine and it uses Trend.
It might be something installed as part of the image, but I doubt that as I
installed Visual Studio myself. 

Virus scan found nothing. 

Its got to be an add in or Visual studio itself as SysInternals is showing
devenv.exe as the process opening the file. I'll keep looking, its
suspicious when you can't identify something like this. I might just be
paranoid. Why? Who's asking? ;)

 

thanks

Stephen

I just checked. I don't have a file like that.

 

Probably wrong but I checked the sil extension.  Not too many Google hits.
Silhouette Designer - CAD/CAM for designing clothes. Does not seem you. 

Also got a hit on SmartInspect (http://www.gurock.com/smartinspect/). Ever
tried that?

 

Maybe time for full virus/malware sweep.

I've got Visual Studio constantly writing to a file in my temp folder called
..\AppData\Local\Temp\TestQuest-2011-07-11-08-28-37.sil

I've done a search for it, no idea what it's for. I've disabled all of my
plugins and addins in case its one of them, but it's still doing it. my
Devenv.exe task is just sitting at 13% when its doing it and everything
grinds to a halt while its doing its thing. Very annoying. I've rebooted and
still no luck stopping it. 

 

Anyone else actually have this file in their Temp folder? Know what it is? 

The contents of the file is a heap of nulls, etx, eot, my machine name, with
a header of SILF. 

Also some what looks like calls to
AutoMainDTE2010CodeView.get_CurrentFileNameMyMACHINENAME

 

It's cramping my style.

 

cheers,

Stephen
