Working through examples - Generated code - Databinding with ASP.NET 2.0, Adapter.

To add the datasource controls to the toolbox the instructions say: right-clicking the toolbox.. 'Choose items..."

After about 10 seconds Visual Studio disappears. I'm unable to add the Datasource Controls.

I've exausted the solutions proposed on the net such as installing powercommands then uninstalling powercommands. Modifying devenv.exe.config to include the following:

<dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.PowerCommands" publicKeyToken="null" culture="neutral"/> <codeBase version="1.1.0.0" href="C:\Program Files\PowerCommands\Microsoft.PowerCommands.dll"/> </dependentAssembly>

Thanks for your response!

Yes - I have Reinstalled Visual Studio 2008 with fresh download from MSDN. Current installed version is 9.0.30729 SP. Same problem.

Didn't see a separate download for a service pack.

Current Microsoft .NET Framework is Version 3.5 SP1. I haven't reinstalled the framework.

cry - After the service pack reinstall - same issue.

Looks like VS is remembering enough from the earlier install to keep the issue (now that reminds me - I still see an add in called JustCode.

Went to the control pannel and uninstalled JustCode.

simple_smile Now I can choose toolbox items without any issue. Sorry for asking about issue that wasn't your product. Just hope the thread helps anyone else with this problem. Judging from hits when searching the web, many people have the same issue but with different add-ins.

thanks for your help!
