Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 crashes after opening the designer

  Are you working with VB .NET

  If your answer is Yes! Microsoft has confirm many bugs in the VB's assemblies related (compiler, designers, etc.).

  I have detected some circunstances that performs this issue:

  • This issue was experimentd by me when i opening a solution with many vb projects.
  • If a project has references to an ImageList control that includes images with a big size (not common sizes, different at: 16x16, 24x24, 32x32, etc) the issue or crash issue it is performed too.
  • If your assembly manifest (*.info) includes intructions for a personalized interface class using many parameters, the issue is thrown too.

  if it's a huge Microsoft Bug - we all wouldnt be running VS2005 since last year...Microsoft DO make sure products are functioning as much as possible before releasing it - no product is perfect, nor can Microsoft predict exactly what software you are going to be developing to overcome this "bug"

  There maybe a problem with your form - try commenting out some controls etc.... in code in the designer.vb or designer.cs file and see what happens and eventually uncomment each one to see which one is causing the problem.

  VS2005 SP1 is currently in beta and will be released in Q4 of 2006 - whether this has your "bug" resolved I don't know but perhaps you would like to give it a shot:

  it may also be handy to post your code on this control of yours perhaps, if any code
