Visual Studio 2008 will suddenly quit when I’m manipulating the WebBrowser control in my WPF application.

This is in the Event Log:

.NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.3053 – Unrecoverable system error.

.NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.3053 – Fatal Execution Engine Error (7A2E0F92) (0)

Does anyone know a cause or workaround for this error?

It happens when I change this XAML:

<WebBrowser     Name='WebBrowserPreview'     Grid.Row='1'     Margin='5'     Source='http://www.google.com'/>

to this:

<WebBrowser     Name='WebBrowserPreview'     Grid.Row='1'     Margin='5' />

I just CUT the whole section out. Then PASTEed in a new <WebBrowser> tag from Notepad.
