Error HRESULT E_FAIL Error Appears With Type Editors

Hi,

I am receiving Error HRESULT E_FAIL error when I click to a type editor (Listview PopulationDataSourceSettings or Browse Dialog BrowseResultsLayout). Sometimes the error is disappearing after I restart the Visual Studio and clear and rebulid the project but sometimes it is remaining.

I am sending you the error screen shot attached.

Could you please help?

What version of Visual Studio are you using?

Based on some googling, it looks like often times the solution to this is reinstalling .NET.

We are using Visual Studio 2010. Should we reinstall it?

Yes, try reinstalling and then see if that fix the problem.  Sometimes uninstalling may not ask you to reboot, but I would do it this way:
  1. Uninstall VS2010
  2. Reboot
  3. Re-install VS2010
  4. Reboot
  5. See if that fix the type editor problem.

You may need to reinstall .NET itself, rather than just VS.
