I have an odd problem.

Whenever I type a word that begins with a "N", VS.NET crashes.

I can fix the problem if I clear my history, rebuild symbol databases and restart VS.NET. However, the problem will eventually return (in hours or sometimes days).

This does not happen if "N" appears in the middle of the word or if the word begins with "n." I have not noticed this problem with any other letter. I can place an "N" in front of a word already written, but I usually forget to do this, so I end up crashing VS.NET a lot....

Please help!!!!! N is a very common letter, and I think I'm scaring my coworkers with all the cursing.. jk

Thanks!

Does this continue to happen if Visual Assist is disabled, or not?

It does not happen if Visual Assist is disabled.

Once it is enabled the problem will return.

Just to clarify -- VS.NET does not crash, it just stops responding. I have to end the process manually (I've tried waiting several minutes for it to respond again, but it never does)

I was running version 10.0.1283, but I just installed 10.1.1289.0, maybe this will help. I usually have at least 2 instances of VS.NET running at a time (which usually share at least one or two projects), which I think maybe related, but I can't be sure. I'm coding in c#, and I also have Flywheel
enabled.

Does this also happen when you disable Flywheel?
If you code in more languages than just C#, does this problem occur to you also in another language (C++ maybe)?

if you get ncb files for C# try deleting them. these seem to cause a great deal of problems for many people, since they can become corrupt (even without VAX) and then upset the IDE. its a long shot, but at least its easy and quick to try.

Since I installed the latest version (I also rebuild my symbols from the VAX performance settings), I have not yet had this problem.

I'm not sure if this is a temporary fix, since I have rebuild the symbols in the past and this always temporarily fixes the problem, sometimes for only hours and other times for days. So, I can't tell if disabling Flywheel changes the behavior until the behavior returns (if it does). The same goes for trying c++...

When (if) the problem does reoccur, I'll try disabling flywheel and deleting my ncb files...

Thanks
