Visual Studio 2008 was stable for several months on my computer .
This morning, when I double-click on any .xaml file to open it, or even by clicking on the tab of an already opened .xaml file, Visual Studio says “ initialization toolbar ” in the status bar, and then after 20 seconds completely closes the entire application without a message about the error.
Other files (such as .cs class files) I can open normally.
Does anyone know about this or know that I can check / modify to be able to use Visual Studio to edit .xaml files again?
FURTHER INFORMATION: I can also create a new project and create and edit .xaml files.
FURTHER INFORMATION: I can edit .xaml files in other modules (projects) in order.
FURTHER INFORMATION: Each time it crashes, this event is logged:
.NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.3053 - Fatal Error in executable module (72555E00) (80131506).
(odd since I installed the .NET Framework 3.5)
FURTHER INFORMATION: In only one module (project) .xaml files cause Visual Studio to crash. Even creating a new UserControl in this module causes Visual Studio to crash.
