MY VS2010 crashes dozens of times a day. Compare that to 2008 and 2005 which were rock solid.
Is 2010 known to be susceptible to crashing? Or could it be my environment? I'm using x64 as a dev box for the first time. The only plugin I has so far is Ankh.
It crashes when doing different things. One I've noticed so far that always happens is if I press the key sequence alt-f-s-up (or any cursor key) it will crash every time.
It never crashes on my laptop. But still I find it slower than VS2008. Maybe because of the new powerful features.
VS2010 is solid for me on x64.
Is that key sequence tied to Ankh? If so that might be the cause. Does this sequence also crash VS if you use it in a new project?
No crashes here, been running VS2010 on Win7x64 for quite awhile. Are you using version control? Try removing that plugin you mentioned, at least for a while, to see if the crash rate changes.
Every day i have between 1 or 4 crashes on x64, my developer team is on 32 bit machines with the same exact problem, so it's not a x64 problem.
Like Jeff said i think its a Ankh problem with VS2010, but i have installed every possible version of Ankh with no luck (even night builds).
There is also no apparent pattern, as crashes occur after build, after run, after adding new files to solution and some times even on start up (no solution loaded)
This is beginning to drive us crazy and putting us in a situation to force a rollback to VS2008 and .NET 3.5 again (after having some trouble updating solution, build scripts, etc .... :( )
Any help would be great ....
The older versions of AnkSVN had a bug that caused constant crashing in VS2010 (1x per hour or more). Upgrade to 2.1.8420 or later.
I had around 5 crashes last few days on Win7 Pro x64. And it happend without any concrete reason...
I found intresting page http://www.jetbrains.net/devnet/thread/288025. This problem can appear with Resharper 5 and TODO statement in your code.
Mine freezes the whole system on debugging from time to time. It may freeze when I start debugging for a program or after some time the debugging has been started.
Here is what I found: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/debugger/archive/2010/01/06/visual-studio-2010-beta2-hang-while-debugging.aspx
I have disabled the IntelliTrace, but today got another hang.
