Installed the refactoring add-in and streamlined lots of code. Worked great. I had one project that had always been compiled Option Strict Off, and when I flipped it on last week it found so many conversion problems I decided to leave it off since it was working, had other priorities, etc, etc. I flipped Option Strict back on today and let the refactor tool have a go at it and in minutes everything was kosher. Very cool.
But soon afterwards I started have lots and lots of VS IDE crashes. On the order on every 10 seconds or so. Submitted a dozen or so to MS (man, they were big dumps. Took 10 minutes or so each and I have a dedicated T1 at my desk.) so I hope they sort it out. This is a cool tool. Uninstalled Refactor and problems went away. (The refactored changes in the code stayed though, which was cool, too.)

Sorry for the delay getting back to you on this, somehow this one slipped through the cracks...
The scenario you describe doesn't sound like functionality provided by the Refactor! tool, it sounds like VB's error correction feature kicking in to help with explicit converstions. If you try the same process without the Refactor! tool installed (switch your project to Option Strict On and follow the error correction suggestions) do you see the compiler crashes
Thanks,
