Description Randy Hudson CLA 2004-06-03 11:01:58 EDT 
I tried changing my compiler settings for a project.  When I pressed OK, I got 
an exception.  But this exception was actually caused by a different page 
(which I happened to just look at), not the compiler one. This can be confusing 
because users will report errors to the wrong component team.

I'm not sure what the convention is.  Should pages be protected from each other?

If someone has a bug in thier OK code if we were to switch back we could cause 
even greater problems so likely a more informative dialog would be useful here.

Defer
