Since the installation of Silverlight 2 Beta 2, I had been experiencing crashes of Visual Studio 2008. The crash always occured when shutting down Visual Studio, but only if I was working on a Silverlight application.
I figured it had something to do with the Silverlight 2 Beta 2 Tools for Visual Studio, but I had my hopes on VS 2008 SP1 to get rid of all the errors.
Sadly enough, the error wasn't gone after the install of SP1 and reinstall of the (updated) Silverlight Tools.
The only thing left was trying to find help, based on the signature of the error:
EventType : clr20r3
P1 : devenv.exe
P2 : 9.0.30428.1
P3 : 4815597f
P4 : microsoft.visualstudio.silverlight
Luckily, the error was the subject of a thread on the Silverlight forums, and some bright reader found what the solution for the error is:
1. Uninstall the tools (once again in my case...)
2. Go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE and search for a DLL called Microsoft.VisualStudio.ServicesProxy.dll. Delete (or better move to a temporary location) this file.
3. Reinstall the tools.
If everything went well, the size of the tools in "Control Panel -> Programs and features" should now display 1.17MB instead of 1.14MB.
Now I can go back to doing Silverlight demo's, knowing that I will not get a crash of my IDE every time :)
