Is this a known problem?
I have a WindowsForms application with a ElementHost hosting a WPF
UserControl. In this user control I use WindowsFormHost to host a
WinForms control... This works when I run this but it always crashes
my VS? Sometimes when I open the designer else if I close VS? Is this
a known issue?

Rudi
PS. This is a XP machine running XP SP3 and VS2008 (SP1 is NOT
installed)?

I don't know about that bug, but here's a possible workaround. Have your project launch a shim exe that just opens your real exe. That might prevent VS from crashing, tho you'll have to attach the debugger to your exe when you want to debug it.

Wow, do you guys never sleep.. work on weekends, etc...
Tnx Josh,
The problem is not that my exe is crashing VS but that the project
(Winforms) that hosts a WPF usercontrol with a winforms control on it
crashes... Even if I do not run it!!!
If the designer is not open, my project opens file... If I then open
the winforms for, that host my user control... then it crashes or if I
then close VS...
I only saw this now while preparing for my talks at tech-ed where i am
doing some WPF/WinForms interop stuff...
Try the following:
Create a WinFroms app and add a elementhost. Create a WPF user control
and in this user control add a expander. In the expander add a
winformshost and in the winformshost, add a winforms monthcalander!
This is exactly what crashes my VS? Please note that my VS is without
SP1? Don't know if it is a bug or if SP1 even fixed it?

If you would like to test it on SP1 just send me a sample that reproduces
the problem.

Ok, it gets a little weirder...
If I un-install stylecop it gets better... now my designer never
crashes but when I close the solution I still get the VS eeror occured
dialog, do you want VS to restart...
Weird!
Also have a look at this article...
