I have spend all day today refactoring a solution having Web Application Project and other projects. I managed to crash Visual Studio at least 5 times. Steps to reproduce: rename aspx page, then rename the
codebehind class and after that when I'm trying to change copy-pasting "codebehind" attribute of Page declaration inside aspx - Studio freezes and crashes. If I change it manually - without copy-pasting -- no crash. Sigh...
# re: Shit ! Visual Studio crashes in Web Application Project
I believe you are running into a known issue with the February preview of web application projects (both SaveAs and Copy have some issues). These are fixed (along with a ton of new features and other bug fixes) with more recent builds.
We are publishing a new public build in about 2 weeks time on the web (this version will be feature complete). If you want to send me email directly (scottgu@microsoft.com) I can get you access to a build sooner to try out and verify.
Thanks,
Scott
