VS Studio .NET 2010 crashs with GIS Serverlight API on Window 7 OS

Question

Hi,

I have been bothered by the following problem for a week, any help will be appreciated.

I set up VS .NET 2010. ArcGIS server  with ArcGIS server Sliverlight API ( 2.2 beta) on Window 7 Ultimate.

everything looks normal, I created Silverlight Application, worked fine.  When I created Silverlight API application, add map control on.xaml with Bing layers, it worked. then I added ArcGISServerDynamicLayer with my own map service ( the service worked fine with test on ArcCatolog, rest URL  ), VS .NET started to crash ( VS has encountered a problem, need to close). I restart VS.NET and reopen application, just keep crashing.

I have tried many solutions from intertnet, not solve the prblem, I completely reset the machine ( started from installing OS). But as soon as I created silverlight application with ArcGIS server silverlight API, the VS .net 2010 starts to crash. It works for all other type applications and silverlight application.

It seems the problem is caused by ArcGIS Silverlight API ( 2.2 beta), I didn't try 2.1 yet on  Window 7 yest, but the same VS .NET 2010, ArcGIS server, Silverlight API, Map Service, I set on Window server 2003 and 2008, both of them worked fine, never crashed.

Thanks in advance !!

After I removed Bing layers from the MAP,  I worked for 5 hours with API 2.2 on Win 7 OS,  the VS .NET didn't crash yet.

But with BING layers, there was no compile error, the application could be browsered correctly, Bing layers and  my own map service layer showed correctly, only VS .net kept crashing, it was impossible to work.
//---------------------------.

yesterday, I backed to 2.1 on Window 7, then I run ESRI  template successfully, then reopened my troubled application,  I worked for one hour, no crash, the map on the application has bing layerrunning as background, and my own arcgis server layers. I will continute to test. I have  MS expression blend Ultiamte installed before ArcGIS server silverlight API, I could not see the ArcGIS server Silverlight templates showing on VS. NET 2010 ( standard and showcase).

Today, I tried to work again with 2.1 window, VS .net 2010 just crashed again.

With window server 2003, 2008, I run both 2.1 and 2.2(beta), I didn't have any problem. The templates show on VS. NET 2010 .

I am not for sure what's wrong?

Thanks for your help.

Could this be a related thread? http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/26468-Silverlight-4.0.60129-and-Bing-Tilelayers. The bug fix was put in after v2.2 beta release. Also, we'd like to ask you to use the beta forums in the future. Thanks 🙂
