Visual Studio crash when creating blank window

[itg-assistant]

Andrew Niese asked 2017-03-30 18:39:26 UTC

Right-click project -> Add -> New item -> WiseJ -> Empty Window (top item)

Visual studio crashes.  The crash does not happen when selecting the 2nd "Empty Window" item.

(I'm not sure why there are 2)

Visual Studio 2013 Update 5, WiseJ 1.3.44.0

The second "Empty Window" is supposed to be "Inherited Window", that's why it tries to load the InheritancePickerUI using the designer wizard. There are still problems in the VB.NET templates thanks to the magic of copy & paste. The error loading the wizard is most likely caused by VS loading multiple versions of the same assembly. Usually cleaning the project, closing VS and reopening it works. Make sure you don't have Wisej.Core.Design and Wisej.Web.Design referenced.

You can find the updated templates here: http://setup.wisej.com/Templates.zip

They go into C:\Users{User}\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Templates

ItemTemplates and ProjectTemplates

in \Visual Basic\Wisej and Visual C#\Wisej
