When I goto view the property page for my CSharp test application I get the following error.
"An error occurred trying to load the page. COM object that has been seperated from its underlying RCW cannot be used."
The only thing that seems to fix it is rebooting my PC!
This is usually caused by a 'rogue' add-in.
Try disabling them all, and then re-enabling them checking for the error - so that you can narrow down the culprit.
Are there any add-ons installed? Or is this a "out of the box" visual studio install?
I have Resharper 4 and some sort of Syncfusion Add-in.
It seems the only way to "reconnect" everything is to create a new project (e.g. a simple Windows application) but it doesn't always stay fixed.
However, the last time I restarted VS I recv'd this error:
"Package 'Visual Studio Explorers and Designers package failed to load properly... Please contact package vendor for assistance..."
It would seem this is a Microsoft package? Now I'm really baffled!!!
Finally, is it possible to remove Add-ins using the registry, or is that information scattered across the hive and/or filesystem?
Problem solved:
It seems Microsoft Style Cop was causing the issue.
It was not registered as an Add-in, but was integrated into VS2005 on some deeper level.
