    VS 2008 crahsehs when I open SL3 .xaml file

    Jul 15, 2009 06:57 PM | LINK

    Hi,

     I have an odd one where I can create a new sl project in vs2008 but as soon as I try to open the xaml it crashes with the oh so lovely "encounterd a problem and needs to close". Has anyone had this? found a solution?

     

    Thanks in advance anyone.

    Cheers,

    Rocky

    This sounds like the same issue as here: http://silverlight.net/forums/t/110528.aspx

    Still no solution that I've seen. Any help?

    Hi Astrylian,

     that is exactly what is happening thanks for that. Hopefully MS will come up with something soon.

    The same happened to me the 2st day SL3 appeared, but only with SL3 projects created before 10th July.

    In the following days, I uninstalled everything (sl2, sl3, all tools and toolkits) and reinstalled only packages which refers to SL3. After that the issue did not repeat.

    Hi All,

     thanks for your input. I have solved it, the culprit was my display driver for ATI Radeon HD 2400 pro, after a complete unistall of everything ATI to VGA mode it worked and then after einstalling the ATI stuff it still worked. A tip is to look in the event log that tells the "faulting application" (I am on Vista Business).

    Thanks again for your help.
