I installed VisualAssist buil 1530 beta in VisualStudio 2005 Standard.
Whenever I open an "*.xml" file, there is a crash with a dialog box saying something like "... pure virtual method call ...".
When I install 1446, everything is fine again.

how are you opening the xml files? i have just tried this, opening two different xml files via CTRL-O, and there were no problems.
would it be possible to get a VA log file or a call stack (ideally both) of the crashed IDE? we have had reports of this error before, but so far have not been able to reproduce it, or make much headway finding the cause.
log files are point 14 here http://www.wholetomato.com/support/faq.html
do you have any other plugin's installed? |

Hi feline!
Thanks a lot for your reply!
It happens when I open a HUGE solution with about 140 projects and thousands of files. I double-click on my solution file to load it in again (there are already *.suo and *.ncb files). VS 2005 pops up and VA and IntelliSense start their parsing. During parsing, I drag-and-drop in a XML file from explorer and then it shows the message about a runtime error because of a pure virtual call. After I press "OK" in that message box, there is no dialog letting me create a memory dump I could send to you.
Once parsing is finished it seems that there is no problem anymore ...
I also tried to attach to the crashed session with a debugger but somehow I do not get a call stack. Also when I start the "devenv.exe" from within the debugger with all Exceptions turned on, it seems that I do not get to the position of the problem :(. If you can tell me how I can create a call stack for you, I will definitely try to do that again.
Regarding the requested logfiles: I will send them directly to you by e-mail and to "[email protected]".
Thanks a lot in advance,
Markus

i have tried simulating this with a small project by telling VA to rebuild its database, but i still have no problems.
does this seem to be specific to certain XML files? if you create a very simple XML file do you still get the same problem?
can you try disabling or even uninstalling DoxyComment and see if that makes a difference? you can use VA's Document Method refactoring to do basically the same thing, once you have configured the autotext rule for Document Method correctly. there are still a couple of bugs with this, but hopefully they are all in the list to be fixed. |

I tried it with this small XML file:
=====================================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Packages/>
=====================================
It still happened but was much more unlikely to crash. I noticed in general (also with larger files) that it only happens sometimes. I also once got a frocen "devenv.exe" when dropping in the small XML file. To me it looks like a concurrency problem but that's only a guess.
I then uninstalled DoxyComment but the application still hangs up from time to time. What I also noticed that if it worked for the first XML file in a session it always works in that session.
Any further ideas what I could do? |

Can you try adding xml to the list of extensions that VA X ignores? The setting to do this is in our options dialog.
http://www.wholetomato.com/support/faq.html#ignore
If you still have the crash, send a larger dump - try a kernel memory dump (it's the next step up in System Control Panel|Advanced|Settings.) |

I just recently installed Visual Assist for the first time and I am getting the exact same behavior. Within about 10 seconds of opening an XML file Visual Studio just dissapears.
Like the first poster I am normally working in a large project, but it happens even if just open the file. The file itself is very large. Setting Visual Assist to ignore ".xml" does prevent the problem.
The only other extension I have installed is an in-house one which has nothing to do with XML, and hasn't caused any problems in the past. I *do not* have the DoxyComment extension that other person has. |

| Forgot to mention: I have Incredibuild installed too. Again, has nothing to do with XML, and has given no trouble in the past, but I thought that I should mention it. |

Do you get this problem with any XML file? What if you make a really simple 2 line file?
I am wondering if the problem is somehow file specific, or due to some unexpected interaction between VAX and something else on your system. |
