Work on Brahma slowed down as I hit a problem with VS 2008 Beta 2 crashing on me all the time. Thanks to Scott Guthrie, Dinesh Kulkarni, Luca Bolognese and last but definitely not the least DJ Park, I was able to figure out what was going wrong, and how to get around the problem. In DJ’s words,
This crash typically happens when you have a project to project reference in your solution and you try to access a member of an explicitly implemented interface that’s defined in one of the projects from the other. (When I say access, I mean using features such as IntelliSense) Unfortunately, there’s nothing to directly turn off but I hope this will help you avoid the crashes.
I changed my project-to-project reference into a reference to the binary, and that did it! It seems to be ok now. DJ also mentioned that there would be a patch to Beta 2 soon. Cool!
[Edit]
This patch is now available, and can be found here.
