Visual Studio 2022 crashes when working with a solution containing two WinForms projects:
- Project 1: WinForms (.NET 9) with Telerik
- Project 2: WinForms (.NET 6) without Telerik
Steps to Reproduce:
- Create a new solution in Visual Studio 2022.
- Add two WinForms projects:
- Project 1: WinForms (.NET 9) with Telerik
- Project 2: WinForms (.NET 6) without Telerik
- Open the WinForms designer for a form in Project 1 (Telerik, .NET 9).
- Without closing the designer, open the WinForms designer for a form in Project 2 (.NET 6, no Telerik).
- Switch to the code view of the form in Project 2.
- Switch back to the WinForms designer in Project 2.
Expected Result:
Visual Studio should smoothly switch between code and designer views without issues.
Actual Result:
Visual Studio freezes and crashes after switching back to the WinForms designer in Project 2.
Environment:
- Visual Studio 2022
- Windows Version: (Windows 11 x64)
- Telerik WinForms Version: (2025.1.211)
Additional Notes:
- The issue seems to be related to handling different .NET versions and Telerik components in the same solution.
- The crash occurs consistently when following the steps above.
- No explicit error messages are shown before Visual Studio closes.
