VS2017 locking in design mode

Good afternoon to all.

For a few days now I have been facing a problem in VS2017 that is irritating me a bit!!

I have a form with a usercontrol developed by me and some grids. One of these grids was linked to a datasource pointed to a class.

As the business rule changed, I deleted the datasource and created another one based on the new class. From this, every time I change my windows form from class to design mode VS freezes and can only close by task manager!

This not only happens in this specific form, but now ALL of the project’s and other solution projects are causing the same problem.

To make this even more hilarious, if I open the form in design mode and navigate it using the Document Topic Structure window, I can select the components quietly and do my job, but if for some reason I click directly on the form or any component inside it, it locks everything and only closes again by the task manager.

Here’s what I’ve tried:

  • Unlink the TFS solution and link again;
  • Restore Nuget Packages;
  • Debug my usercontrol inside the VS itself (all working properly);
  • Remove my usercontrol from the form and try to open (still having the same problem).

Looking through the Microsoft forums, there is always that standard answer: restart the computer until it catches fire, clear the temporary file folder, clear the cache of windows, browsers, your email, your mobile phone and your desk, that this has been fixed in such version, that has to do windows update and more a lot of bullshit!

Has anyone ever been in this kind of trouble and would you have a light to give me on this case? I inform you that uninstalling Visual Studio and installing again is out of the question, otherwise I would have done it already!!!

Thank you!

  • My cousin was with a similar case and solved just reinstalling everything, unfortunately.

  • I was able to solve with devenv /Resetsettings. I had to reinstall some components, but it took much less than reinstalling VS. It is really unfortunate this kind of bug at this time of the championship. This problem is recurring and I found similar posts since version 2010!
