I am glad this worked out well. Say, considering the other things that I reported and that are being worked on... is there a possibility for a little compensation?

I am just working on my diploma thesis and am going to finish my computer science studies early next year. I already have a job secured, but it's always good to collect references for the future. Would it be possible to have a document created and sent to me via snail-mail, signed, that indicates that I've made a little contribution to this great product? I'm sure that a reference by Microsoft would be a big bonus in case I need to apply for a job again later :)

Best regards,

Shrinker

Hi Shrinker,

Thank you for taking the time to report this! We have addressed the problem and Visual Studio no longer crashes in this scenario. The fix will be available in a future release, hopefully in SP1. With the fix Visual Studio is stable in this scenario, though various IntelliSense features are unavailable. We plan to enable them in the future.

Thank you again!

One might try to display C++ files in the C# mode, because it doesn't seem to crash under these circumstances.
