Recently, an annoying bug came up. The problem with this one isn't necessarily my code but relies on Visual Studio.
Whenever I open a .xaml file, the IDE crashed right away. Without giving any instructions.
I read a lot of "fixes" on the internet, yet, none really explained what the problem was. And they did not seem to work either.
I attached a debugger and investigated what the inner problem was. Just a side note, my program compiles perfectly. But when I view the .xaml file in Visual Studio's design manager, it crashed.
Assume we got the following code behind:
The design manager tries to apply real-time changes, and runs through the code. Checks the active thread in it's pool and sees it is occupied. Still, very strange VS can't handle with it and triggers a ProcessKill event. The following data got registered in the event log:
Where the StackTrace exactly shows the problem:
Now the fix, let the Designer decide what code to process:
Hope this helps.
Regards.
