Opening a Solution Causes VS 2005 to crash and restart

Earlier today, I had to include a code snippet to my project. Unrealizing the consequences it might result in, I went ahead compiling and got an error message saying “Object reference not set to an instance of an object” and finally my VS 2005 crashed. This error message keeps on greeting every time to I tried to reopen the project.

Being clueless of what has gone wrong, I googled tirelessly to find a solution to overcome this problem, but without a joy.

While this error message keeps on coming, I try to realize that my VS were actually running on debugging on all of my Windows forms. Since the Code snippet I included was to my base form’s shown event, so every time I reopen VS 2005 it opens this Windows Forms and sends this error message.
In the Error Signature I witnessed the following:

AppName: devenv.exe
AppVer: 8.0.50727.42
AppStamp:4333e699
ModeName: system.design.ni.dll
ModVer: 2.0.50727.3053
ModStamp:4889df30
fDebug:0
Offset: 006b8532

I came across an article on running devenv.exe in “Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt” and was enlightened me that I could build, rebuild, clean…etc project and its files. So I went to Visual Studio’s Project folder and located the *.cs file which was giving the error and edited via Notepad. Then I deleted the code snippet that was the causing the problem and replaced by a simple “Hello World” message box. Finally I build the project by trying my luck via VS 2005 Command Prompt by running the following commands:


devenv [either *.csproj or *.sln file of your project] /clean


devenv [either *.csproj or *.sln file of your project] /build

devenv [either *.csproj or *.sln file of your project] /rebuild


and it worked! I was finally able to open the project via Visual Studio and it worked well… No errors!

Wrestlemania 26: I made it!

I could only imagine myself being in Phoenix and yelling at 72,000+ people saying that I’ve made it!
Though I could not make it realistically, I’m at least glad that I got the DVD of it which I repeatedly saw it many times so far and even gave a torrid time to my DVD player by hitting the rewind button more often.

Although bit disappointed that the Rated-R could not claim the World Heavyweight championship, but he did not disappoint any by delivering a special kind of a “Spear” to Chris Jerico. I heard some one say it’s the “Edge-de-cution”. However I’m more than assured that the glory is not far away for Edge. Wish you all the best!

The viper was never far away from the show; however he delivered the ideal, if not the best RKO to finish things off with Legacy. I reckon that it’s the best I have ever seen in my bare eyes.

John Cena Vs. Dave Batista was more intense…. And ultimately it’s the never give up attitude that changed the course of the match. I was just astonished to see the US Navy performing a special performance before Cena enters to the ring. My memory diverts to the Wrestlemania 25. . In fact the “Attitude-Adjustment” he delivered was still in my minds.

Coming to Shawn Micheals, I never thought the Odds favors him, yet it was almost the identical Wrestlemania 25 match. Never the less both gave an exceptional performance and Sportsmanship of Undertaker should be admired a lot.

The intensity was awesome and all I could say that Wrestlemania keeps getting better and better. Can’t hardly wait to see Wrestlemania 27… and If god could send me to Atlanta next April I’ll consider it as just a miracle that happened.
