Hi,
I'm using Visual Studio 2022 to develop some WPF/XAML applications - i've previously been developing C# and python - and am now seeing an intermittent error when editing XAML files that i have not seen before:
A popup that says: "Value does not fall within the expected range"
VS then freezes and crashes. I find if i try and perform the same edit again, i can crash VS at the same place.
Removing the .vs seems to recover the system - but after some editing, this error pops up again fairly consistently.
I'm on version 17.12.5 - working with XAML with C# code behind. I am only finding this issue during editing of XAML files.
Any suggestions?
Cheers!

Hi @Felgryn ,
The .vs folder contains some information about the specific solution. As you mentioned that removing the .vs folder seems to recover the system, is this issue replicated in another newly created solution/project?
If you try to manually remove the bin, obj and the hidden .vs folder, then rebuild the project, will this issue appear again? Maybe there are some cache files/folders need to be cleaned.
Besides, is it possible for you to update VS to the latest version (17.13.2) and test again?
Thanks for the further suggestions. I have tried manually removing the bin and obj folders as well as the .vs directory. That said - was not aware i was not on the latest. Let me try again with 17.13.2 and trying on newly created projects to see if the problem persists! Thanks for the pointers!
Cheers!
Thanks again!
No problem, feel free to let us know the results:)
