Has anyone else ran into this problem?







I have NO idea how to go about trouble shooting this. Of course I've started with Google. ;-)



Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.

Well, the reason the message is ambiguous is because the problem is coming from something in your environment.  Yes, I have seen the message before and it generally because of a custom control or designer setting that is causing the problem....and something I have done.  You are going to have to work backwards pulling things out until you find your problem.

Most times I am trying to do something in design-time which should only be executed at run-time within a custom control and need to test on the DEsignMode property of the control.

Thanks for the info.

Actually, it could be the LocalizationDesigner problem that we just recently uncovered.  All of the people that created custom controls that inherited our controls would crash VS when they dropped a control on the form.  Turned out that it was a problem within the LocalizationDesigner throwing an OutOfMemoryException when it got into an infinite loop of recursive calls.

There's a good chance that it might be the same problem. 

Here is the link to the newest Extensibility DLL that might resolve the problem.  No promises, but, it might work
