Hello,
I am experiencing constant crashes of my VS 2005 (RTM) when I do the following. All it takes to crash the IDE is to open my solutions and double click on any one of the worksheets. I can open the workbook w/o any issues in Excel and I've also reinstalled VSTO Tools for VS and the run-time.
Any ideas would be much appreciated...
Regards,
Dima Kherson
P.S. I was able to overcome this issue once before by wrapping a try and catch block around the entire code block in the ThisWorkbook_Startup event handler. This time I've tried commenting out all of the code I have in the worksheets and the workbook to work around this issue to no avail this time.

1. Does this behavior reproduce with a new project or just existing projects
I've restarted this project multiple times and in the beginning things are fine but the project ultimately comes to the same poor state. Other projects are fine. Maybe this has something to do with this particular spreadsheet It was originally started a non-VSTO Excel spreadsheet and has VBA code in it and links to other spreadsheets.
2. Were the project(s) that crash created in a beta version of VSTO If so what was the last version that they were saved in
Nope, RTM from the very beginning
3. When you say you double click on a worksheet, do you mean the physical Excel worksheet or the worksheet icons in the Solution Explorer window
Worksheet icon in the Solution Explorer
4. Can you provide a dumpfile or a stack trace
Yes, I can provide a dumpfile (I'm assuming you're referring "Send Report" file). Which email address can I send it to There's no stack trace available. Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to send the spreadsheet according to my employer.
5. If this is just happening with a specific project, would you be able to provide that so we could try to reproduce this locally
I tried it on another developer's machine and the issue did not manifest.
I've since re-installed Office Pro 2003 and re-applied SP2 as well as reinstalled the VSTO Tools for VS 2005. No luck so far.

Waiting on the dump information from Dima. Marking this thread as answered in the meantime. I will post the resolution here if and when we receive the dumps and are able to investigate them.
