Hi there,
I've tested this with multiple projects and it even happens with the HelloWorld sample. When I open a layout resource file with the layout editor, Xamarin Studio crashes with the following information:
Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: XamarinStudio.exe Application Version: 4.0.0.0 Application Timestamp: 5202caca Fault Module Name: libglib-2.0-0.dll Fault Module Version: 2.34.1.0 Fault Module Timestamp: 50b4fecd Exception Code: 40000015 Exception Offset: 0005e17b OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3 Locale ID: 2057 Additional Information 1: 4c60 Additional Information 2: 4c609b9ee6afc206f5625ac60d945848 Additional Information 3: 4485 Additional Information 4: 448588a8947829fb230815c328c1a6d2
I have the latest stable releases of Xamarin Studio (4.0.12) and Xamarin.Android (4.8.1) on Windows 7, I've also tried the latest releases on both the Beta and Alpha channels but the problem still exists. This seems to have started happening from nowhere and I've tried just about everything, including a re-install of both Studio and Xamarin.Android.
The IDE log file also contains this dubious little entry:
ERROR [2013-09-27 15:09:26Z]: Add-in error (MonoDevelop.Xamarin.Ide,4.0.12): Error while getting object for node in path '/MonoDevelop/DesignerSupport/PropertyProviders'. System.InvalidOperationException: Type 'Xamarin.Ide.Components.ComponentReferencePropertyProvider' not found in add-in 'MonoDevelop.Xamarin.Ide,4.0.12' at Mono.Addins.RuntimeAddin.GetType(String typeName, Boolean throwIfNotFound) at Mono.Addins.TypeExtensionNode.get_Type() at Mono.Addins.TypeExtensionNode.CreateInstance() at Mono.Addins.InstanceExtensionNode.GetInstance(Type expectedType) at Mono.Addins.ExtensionNode.GetChildObjectsInternal(Type arrayElementType, Boolean reuseCachedInstance)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Ronny.
