I had problems with VS2010. Every time I opened anything that contained XAML, it crashed. Not good since I had finished 99% of my project. I un-ticked every add-in (limited to .Net Reflector, EntitySpaces -2010, VSDocMan and XAML Power Toys 2010) but it still crashed. I ran chkdsk on my drives, nothing bad there. Applied SP1 - a waste of time, still crashed.
Add-Ins are not everything that embeds itself in VS2010 and is visible in Tools->Add-in Manager. I also have JetBrains Resharper and RemObjects Hydra. I have had these for many months prior to the xaml crash problem, so I doubt it was these. I am left wondering what else is there, hiding in the shadows. I re-installed (? repaired) VS2010 and the problem went away. I use Trend Micro Titanium on this notebook. Maybe just a coincidence.

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 On Mon, Jul 11, 2011 at 9:11 PM, Peter Maddin <[email protected]> wrote: 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 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
