Has this annoying error happned to you?

[jfrost10]

You go to drag a control to a web form, or copy/paste an existing control. You no sooner have clicked Paste/Cntl+V when the

BLACK COMMAND LINE OF DEATH

rears its upgly heading saying its performing a mini dump, and the CLR buggered up.

Then you get a very informative dialog from Microsoft with a Debug button, which tells you simply that memory addres blahblahblah cannot be "read"

Does anyone know:
- why it happens?
- how to fix it?

Thanks,

It's really weird.

The other symptom of this is that if you do copy/paste a control onto your form, instead of being placed where you want it, it automatically gets placed in teh top left corner.

our new developer came accross it today, and I had run into it before.

Its a really weird bug. I'm going to see if MSDN has anything on it next.

If your using grid layout then yes the control is put in the corner, but not with flow layout. On mine anyway. That'l do donkey, that'l do

if you select a control, then do cntl+c, cntl+v, it pastes the control over the copied control (or at least thats what we've noticed in vs.net).

I have a feeling it has something to do with trying to place a control on the webform where the tag generation is so screwed up that the CLR just says, "To heck with it, i quit!"
