Question

I have a class that implements IValueConverter. Every time I build build my solution, visual studio crashes right after the build is successful.

public class BoolToEditOrCreateConverter : IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
    {
        return string.Empty;
    }

    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
    {
        return new object();
    }
}

Visual Studio problem details:

Then I must remove the entire class from the project to keep visual studio from crashing.

Microsoft just released SP1 for Visual Studio 2010, which supposedly fixes a bunch of crash issues. I don’t know if it will solve your problem, but it certainly won’t hurt to try.
