Since I rebuilt my new machine last Xmas I have been suffering a terrible intermittent problem where Visual Studio 2008 SP1 crashes when I edit the XAML of a Silverlight control. By "edit" I mean "open with" the XAML designer, the XML editor or even the text source editor. There will be a 2 second delay after the file opens and VS2008 will crash and ask to close, but it does not close and I have to kill the task.
This disease comes in unpredictable waves. Sometimes I don't see it for a week, and then it happens for weeks non-stop (as it is now). I often have to delete all the .suo and .user files to get the solution to open up again. There must be some unknown environmental thing that I alter to cause the problem to start and stop, but I've no idea what it might be. I have lost dozens of man hours of valuable working time so far this year and it can sometimes cut my daily productivity by half, or worse. I'm in that situation now, falling behind because I can't edit control XAML in VS2008. I'm sometimes using Notepad, sometimes Blend 3 (but that stinking ill-conceived incomprehensible tortuously quirky weird-looking app gives me the merdes). I mention this problem partly because I'm mad as hell, and partly in case someone else might have suffered that same way and knows of some hotfix or similar cure. Greg
