Potential Crash in VS when using the MVC RC on Windows Azure

  • Article

I've received some comments as well as have been contacted by a couple of customers about an issue they have been seeing when using the MVC RC in a Windows Azure Cloud Service project in Visual Studio.

That is, when you are using the project/following the steps from this post or this post.

The problem is that Visual Studio crashes with a CLR fail fast when doing an operation such as opening or creating a new view using the MVC tools.

We gave a repro to the CLR team and they indicated that the crash is due to a known issue in the CLR that affects more than just this scenario.

A patch (from the CLR team) is in the works and I'll post when it becomes available.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
