No I have not tried that.
I installed VS2010 SP1 and that did not fix the problem. I think I will try re-installing VS2010 and see if that fixes the problem. If I still have problems, I'll try running WinDbg. If that fails to fix it, I'll switch across to another notebook which is a lot more basic than my current one but might still work ok.

Tatham Oddie posted an article how he used this to debug a VS crash; You might not fix your problem per se but if you knew what caused it could perhaps work around it. its an interesting read anyway. http://blog.tatham.oddie.com.au/2010/10/07/yet-another-debugging-tale-visual -studio-disappearing/ On 13/06/2011 2:59 PM, Peter Maddin wrote: After months of developing my project using VS2010 has just recently has started crashing. If I open any xaml user control VS2010 reports a problem and must close. When I last had this problem I deleted the solutions .suo file and this seemed to fix the problem. I tried this again but no joy. I have basically finished coding my project and want to clean it up and complete source code documentation. When one gets this one sort of problem ones gets an awful sinking feeling. I have Xaml Power Tools 2010 installed. I have stopped this running. I am using Kellerman Software's logging assembly. I have removed all references to this. This made no difference at all. Everytime I start VS2010 and then open any xaml user control even a basic one that I used as a base for the actual ones it crashes. Stop VS2010 and start it again but adding a new wpf window to the project causes vs2010 to crash. Stop VS2010 and start it again but adding a new WPF project targeting .net 4.0 to the solution crashes vs2010. Stop VS2010 and start it again and then creating a brand new solution with a single WPF project crashes vs2010. I know others have suffered this problem see http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/556808/vs2010-cra shes-when-opening-xaml-file In this case the culprit was Ankh. Re-installation fixed this. Has anyone else suffered this problem? I am currently installing Service Pack 1. If this does not fix the problem, I will have to re-install VS2010. If I still get a problem I guess its report a bug and sending crash dumps of to Microsoft.
