That means the project is building.– BJ MyersCommented May 12, 2017 at 22:40

The weird thing is it's a trivial project that should build in five secs or less and vs kept showing this animated icon for several minutes. So it must be doing more than compiling. But how do I see what it's doing?– RonCCommented May 12, 2017 at 22:51

When a project is loaded VS has to parse through the project file(s) and resolve a bunch of things. Such as check references are in place and so on, this is likely what causes a longer than expected initial process. I have a well-specced dev machine that this is barely noticeable on, one of my test machines has pretty low resources though and loading a project takes forever.– TobyCommented Aug 23, 2017 at 9:45

I think there is more to this. I have a project that is having this issue that both builds and rebuilds typically instantly. But today, it is taking more than 2 full minutes in VS and only displaying this icon with no status. VS is pretty much "hung up" at this point providing no data as to what it is doing.– MattCommented Apr 4, 2019 at 17:23

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. python-3.x), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
