Others have had this problem also.
There was a previous thread on this news group dealing with this:

Subject: Non-visible members/properties when expanding objects in
locals/watch 3/25/2004 6:04 AM PST
By: Peter L. Kristiansen In: microsoft.public.vsnet.debugging
Hi.
I have Visual Studio.NET 2002 solution that I have converted to Visual
Studio.NET 2003 by opening it in VS2003. After this operation I get
non-visible members/properties when expanding objects in locals/watch. When
I try to expand an object in the locals window nothing happens, the + sign
disappear and nothing else.
It seem to be that solution only, in other solutions I don't have the
problem. Needless to say this is very annoying. Can this be fixed, please?
Do others have the same problem?

I'll try to get the whole message in this time...

I had the exact same problem with all of the same symtoms. My solution was
simpler. I is 2 Vb.net class libraries and 2 vb.net forms projects. The
projects are referencing a set of 4 custom class library DLLs also created
in VS.NET 2003 and one custom user control DLL created in VS.NET 2003. When
I manually created a new solution and new projects and copied the source
code files over to recreate a copy of the original solution, everything
began to work normally again.

I had this same problem along with several developers I work with. In our
case, this was caused by empty projects in a solution. The projects included
some references but no code files. To fix the problem, we had to add a empty
class to each of the empty projects.

Well I got back from vaction and looked into this.
Derek's solution worked for me.
It took me a while to figure it out though.
One of my asp.net projects only has a web.config file in it.
I didn't consider this to be "empty", but apparently Studio does.
I added a WebForm and set the Build Action to None and the problem is cured.
Thanks to all.

Thanks to All!!!. I had the same problem, however, in my case, I had a
solution with 3 projects. One of them it was an empty project which contains
a snk file, but no code or resources was included in. I just put and empty
class inside the empty project, and now I can expand the objects.
