WPF Designer (in VS 2008 and VS 2010) crashes with Visual Studio

Question

Good day all.

I have the following question:

WPF designer in both VS 2008 and VS 2010 crashes with Visual Studio when I try to edit UI form. Moreover, it crashes even when I try to save .xaml.cs file. Meanwhile, Winforms and Dataset UI editors work as usual. Are there other people met this issue? And how could I fix up this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

If it's not the .suo file, try uninstalling Silverlight. I had problems with crushing VS2008 a year ago, and it was caused by Silverlight 2.0.

Answer 2

Are you sure your hardware meets the requirements of VS?

Feeding VS with better hardware can improve its behaviour a lot.

At least in my experience it seems to have an well noticable effect :)
