So, today I was trying to include some MS Ajax control toolkit stuff on the web pages I'm building for a client. I right clicked on the toolbox, added a tab and clicked "Choose Items" then VS up and died on me. Lather rinse and repeat.
Obviously something was very wrong here. After some googling I found a solution:
- Start VS from VS command line in safe mode: devenv.exe /safemode
- Click "Choose items" again.
- be sure to click all the tabs in the dialogue
- observe an exception somewhere, and VS will disable the faulty control
- quit the safemode VS.
- restart regular VS and try again
.. VOILA!!

Just what the doctor ordered! I've been looking all over the place and following false leads to solve this problem. Turned out to be an issue with Microsoft.ReportingServices.Interfaces.dll.
Thanks for the post.
Great hint. Worked for me as well.
Most other comments on the web point toward PowerCommands for VS. That wasn't my issue, though.
Your post saved me.
My VS 2008 crashes in safemode as well. !
Cheers mate, really helped me out. Only needed to run in safe mode and the issue dispeared!
Awesome... Indeed, Power commands was listed as a high probability for the culprit, but in my case this was the fix I needed. Thanks for posting!
I don't know what the cause but it crashes in any options. safe mode does not help
There is a work-around:
Add the control to the toolbox in VS2010.
Select the control in the tool box, RightClick->Copy.
Go to VS2008, select the tab in toolbox you wish to add this control to, Right Click->Paste.
