Crash of Visual Studio after installing RadControls WPF 725

[Patrick]

Hello,
after installing RadControls fow WPF version 725, I can no more open onr WPF project: Visual Studio crashes when loading the application.
After attaching a 2nd Visual Studio instance, I have the following exception:
Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

Stack trace:

After removing RadControls I can again open this project.
Note that the project is an Oxygene project and that I have 3 files open when I open the project.

Hello Patrick,

Thank you for contacting us.

It looks like the error is caused by our VS Extensions. You should be able to avoid the issue and use RadControls by simply using the Visual Studio Extension Manager (Visual Studio main menu -> Tools -> Extension Manager...) to disable our VSExtensions package.

To my regret we have not tested how our VS Extensions work with Oxygene projects. It would be helpful if you could share any additional information around your setup you think might be relevant and/or send us your project.

I will perform some basic testing and post my findings in this thread.

All the best,
Andrey

Hello Andrey,
as I need to work on the project, I had completely removed the Telerik VS extension.
I just reinstall the July 25 version and can now open the project without any error.
Perhaps the complete uninstall has solved the problem.

Hello Andrey,
I had the same problem this morning when opening a Silverlight solution. I have uninstalled the WPF Visual Studio extension and I can again open this solution. It seems that the WPF extension checks something on a Silverlight project!

Hello Patrick,

Sorry for not following up on your additional comments earlier. I am in the process of getting an environment set up, where I can test our VSExtensions' compatibility with Oxygene.

The Wpf VSExtensions are check if appropriate (wpf) projects are present each time you load a solution.

I have reviewed the code in the stack trace you sent earlier and all exceptions are handled in that specific portion of our code. Another peculiar thing is the fact the code for the stack trace you sent is used in all of our VS Extensions, whereas the issue you are experiencing is only related to the Wpf ones (looking through your download history, I am assuming you use other Telerik products as well).

I will get back to you with my findings as soon as I'm done testing with Oxygene.

All the best,
Andrey

Hello Patrick,

We have created test environment and after running some scenarios we haven't encountered any issues. Is it possible to send us your project so that we can try further to reproduce the issue on your side. You need to open a formal support ticket and attach the product as a zip for example.

Greetings,

Hello Petar,
sorry for the long delay but I was very busy the last month.
With version 912, the problem is no more here.
