Is this a bug or something I am doing wrong?
- by Brian Gideon
I cannot imagine how this is anything other than a bug, but since I do not currently have a login for the MS Connect website I will ask here first.
I have Visual Studio 2008 SP 1 with all post SP1 hotfixes I could find relating to the crash installed. Can you reproduce the following crash?
1) Create a new "WPF Application" project using VB as the language (though I suspect it will happen in C# as well).
2) Enter the following code in the Window1.xaml.vb file.
Friend MustInherit Class A
End Class
Friend MustInherit Class A(Of T)
Inherits A
End Class
3) Add a namespace declaration the Window1.xaml file so that it looks like the following.
<Window x:Class="Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApplication1"
Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">
<Grid>
</Grid>
</Window>
4) Now attempt to edit the xaml file by opening a new xml tag via the < character.
5) CRASH!
Edit: Microsoft has confirmed this bug. The issue still exists in VS2010 beta 2, but will be fixed in the next release.
