System.SystemException: unsupported shell type at VANetObj.Class1.SetShell(String shellType) at VANetObj.Class1.Main(String[] args)

I am starting to get this exception on a regular basis now (this also affects previous builds). Can't get any information of "shellType" though, since the registers are all gone after the exception was thrown.

Any ideas?

which IDE are you using?
when does this happen? when you load the IDE? when you quit the IDE?
do you have any other plugin's installed, or a localised IDE or OS?

Usually happens right after opening a C# .NET solution.

Both OS and VS are US versions.

does the problem go away if you use the registry to stop VA loading on startup:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\8.0\\Addins\\VAssistNET.Connect8\
Change LoadBehavior from 1 to 0 to prevent VA from loading.

unfortunately you cannot use VS2005 to do this, hence the registry key.

in the installed products list you have "DirectX extensions for Visual Studio .NET", is this an IDE plugin?

IDE tools menu -> Add-in Manager -> list of available add-ins

the only other thing that stands out is the fact you are using VS2005 enterprise, but that should not cause a problem.

you say it also effected previous builds, is that only the 15xx builds, or did you get this problem before?

You might try build 1530 since it has fixes for a few exceptions. Not sure at all if they apply to you. Worth a try.

Otherwise, feline suggestion to isolate add-ins is a good one.

I finally got around to reducing the issue down to this. Create a new .cs file outside VS2005 and paste the following line:
quote:
using ("a ")
Save it and double-click the file to load it into VS.

When initially loading the .cs file or modifying/saving it, the exception will occur. I verified it on two separate installations going from 1531 all the way back to at least 1446.

Hope this helps.

case=1035

this should be fixed but we've had some build script problems so the fix hasn't made it out yet... it should be in 1532.
