Hi,

I am developing a smart device application using .net cf 3.5 with visual studio 2008. I am

facing a problem while I open and close a winforms designer. When I open a existing winform it

opens well and i am able to work on the form. Once i try to close that form it restarts the

visual studio 2008. Below is the error message.

Microsoft Visual studio has encountered a problem and needs to close

debug mode: An unhandled win32 exception occurred in devenv.exe[7348]

Please let me know if anyone faces this problem.

thanks,

gkn

I forget to mention one thing. I am using a base form. That base form has some panel controls, label controls and button controls. When ever I open the form designer that has inherited the baseform, gives the problem. i.e. I am able to open the form while closingvisual studio crashes. But for the ordinary form like Form that didn't inherited my base form works well. It didn't crashes the visual studio.

Also three days before I changed the platform verification toTrueon Microsoft.Common.Target configuration.I don't know whether this will cause the problem??

Please reply if anyonce knows anything about this issue. I am struggling fora long time tosolve this.

thanks,

Hi

Just try one thing..

close all of your .Net IDE's and and reset your devenv...

It from visual studio command prompt which you can access it...

Start->Program files->Microsoft Visual Studio 2005-> Tools->Visual studio Command prompt..

approximately you will find it here..

Just open it and type this command..... Devenv /ResetSkipPkgs

This will reset your IDE...

Then open your application rebild all solution then open the form..

Hope this will work you out..'

Hi Sreenath,

Thanks for your Response. ResetSkipPkgs that doesn't worked out. Still the Visual studio IDE crashing.

Hi

you can try this out....In your .Net IDE go to Tools->Options and reset all your settings of IDE.

Try this out once..

Bruce zhou,

Thanks for the response. I found the issue which causes the problem. The inherited class not displaying the contents of the base classon my design time. it gives an "visual inheritance problem" so as per the experts advice I added the Desktopcompatible=true to my designtime attribute file after that Visual inheritance problem has gone away. This design time attribute causes the problem right now, but i don't know how it works initally and then after one or two months it's not working???? its wierd... Also I don't know, i made any mistake or its an other issue.

How I solved it, I created a new .net project solution and added all the existing class into it, without creating the designtime attributes. so now I am able to work on my project, some what my problem has solved, even though I am not able to view the base class controls on my derived class still the "visual inheritance problem" is there.

thanks,

I have the same error. and my project is a classical Web Application project. It seems that this problem occurs when I have many session of ASP.NET development server launched for testing. Every time youmake a view inBrowser theIDE launches a version of ASP.NET development server wihta specified port.You should besure of closing them before returningto your IDE.

Maybe this could help for your problem.

I add this information because now the problem don't arise anymore.
In fact my problem happened when working on a Web USer control that had a

<link href="xxx.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> at the end of it's page

(.ascx files having a link at the begining of the page suffers from the fact the design vue does not show in some cases.

when taking this instruction out of the page, and taking care of closing unclosed ASP.NET DEVELOPMENENT SERVER instances as above stated solved the problem for me. Why and which of these two did cause or solve the problem I don't know it's a bizarre bug of VS 2008....
