.net – Visual Studio 2008 Fatal Execution Engine Error (7A2E0F92)

netvisual studiovisual-studio-2008

Visual Studio 2008 will suddenly quit when I'm manipulating the WebBrowser control in my WPF application.

This is in the Event Log:

.NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.3053 –
Unrecoverable system error.

.NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.3053 –
Fatal Execution Engine Error
(7A2E0F92) (0)

Does anyone know a cause or workaround for this error?

It happens when I change this XAML:

<WebBrowser
    Name="WebBrowserPreview"
    Grid.Row="1"
    Margin="5"
    Source="http://www.google.com"/>

to this:

<WebBrowser
    Name="WebBrowserPreview"
    Grid.Row="1"
    Margin="5" />

I just CUT the whole section out. Then PASTEed in a new <WebBrowser> tag from Notepad.

It didn't crash that time.

Weird.
