VS2010 crashing
After months of developing my project using VS2010 has just recently has started crashing. If I open any xaml user control VS2010 reports a problem and must close. When I last had this problem I deleted the solutions .suo file and this seemed to fix the problem. I tried this again but no joy. I have basically finished coding my project and want to clean it up and complete source code documentation. When one gets this one sort of problem ones gets an awful sinking feeling. I have Xaml Power Tools 2010 installed. I have stopped this running. I am using Kellerman Software's logging assembly. I have removed all references to this. This made no difference at all. Everytime I start VS2010 and then open any xaml user control even a basic one that I used as a base for the actual ones it crashes. Stop VS2010 and start it again but adding a new wpf window to the project causes vs2010 to crash. Stop VS2010 and start it again but adding a new WPF project targeting .net 4.0 to the solution crashes vs2010. Stop VS2010 and start it again and then creating a brand new solution with a single WPF project crashes vs2010. I know others have suffered this problem see http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/556808/vs2010-cra shes-when-opening-xaml-file In this case the culprit was Ankh. Re-installation fixed this. Has anyone else suffered this problem? I am currently installing Service Pack 1. If this does not fix the problem, I will have to re-install VS2010. If I still get a problem I guess its report a bug and sending crash dumps of to Microsoft.

Re: VS2010 crashing
I've noticed that Visual Studio 2010 with sp1 installed seems quite fragile. It crashes regularly for me. I normally have a huge number of different tools installed and used to have no problems. I've not sat down and tried to troubleshoot what's causing it but it just feels like sp1. I could be totally wrong. It might be due to some other tool thats been updated recently. That said one of the other guys here thinks the same and he has almost no tools installed. One example of crashes I get regular, if I do a get latest (using TFS) and it needs to reload a project due to a change, more often than not it crashes Visual Studio. Thats my home machine which I've rebuilt a few days ago. Will be interesting to see how a clean paved machine behaves. Feeling like a delicately balanced house of cards.

Have you tried attaching WinDbg to your Visual Studio instance?

RE: VS2010 crashing
No I have not tried that. I installed VS2010 SP1 and that did not fix the problem. I think I will try re-installing VS2010 and see if that fixes the problem. If I still have problems, I'll try running WinDbg. If that fails to fix it, I'll switch across to another notebook which is a lot more basic than my current one but might still work ok.

How cheap? Dell Mini 10 is a little over $300 now and that is light and fine for surfing.

A new netbook is probably faster than a old laptop, and more reliable. Even so, you can get laptops for less than $500 at JB. Depends on how much she wants to spend.

Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) vs VS2010
Folks, after many months absence from the subject I have returned to the task of writing some SQL 2008 R2 server-side reports. I previously had to perform the onerous task of uninstalling SQL Server 2008 from my server then reinstalling SQL Server with Advanced Tools so I could get BIDS to write reports. I was fascinated to find that BIDS is actually a stripped-down version of VS2010 with just a report designer and facility to deploy, and I proved that it works to my satisfaction. But now I have to spend hours writing reports, and it looks like I have to sit at my server (jammed in the corner of the room with a small virtualised screen) so I can fire up BIDS to work with the *.rptproj projects. Web searches hint that VS2010 is unable to edit rptproj files and I see a few people complaining. I just want to check that this is in fact the way things are, and perhaps I'm not missing some productivity tricks other know about. Cheers, Greg
Re: Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) vs VS2010
Hi Greg, You could always install BIDS locally by installing the SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer Edition? It's probably not installed by default, but I think it is available. We're currently still targetting SSRS 2005, so i'm not 100% sure on this. But my past research indicated that you can author SSRS 2008 R2 reports using Visual Studio 2008. From memory I think BIDS (for 2008 R2) is actually just VS 2008 with the addition of some Reporting Services add-ins. We currently author our SSRS 2005 reports in a copy of Visual Studio 2005 with the Reporting Services add-ins.

Programming model in Windows 8
The Windows 8 Milestone 3 was leaked out of Redmond recently. A few people have been poking around in the .dlls and discovered some interesting nuggets of information. I have tried to pull together into a single post http://davidburela.wordpress.com/2011/06/14/premature-cries-of-silverlight-wpf-skill-loss-windows-8-supports-all-programming-models But to summarise, it seems that Windows 8 will have a new programming model (Direct UI Jupiter) which is *based on a hybrid of Silverlight WPF*. The new UI can be created and invoked through your language of choice e.g. C++, C#/XAML, HTML + Javascript. There are even talks that you can use the Direct UI Xaml and Javascript together, similar to how Silverlight 1 acted in the browser. -David Burela

If it's just for web surfing, shouldn't matter. Stick linux and chrome on it, to make it fast enough, and avoid the malware. One of the netbooks comes configured something like that.
