  1. Hello!
    First of all thanks for the link. In my case there is no error VS just freezes. I’d been looking all over for a fix, patch or workaround with no luck. I’ve VS 2k10 pro with SP1. As per MS is concern the bug is not resolved yet, here is the link http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/574258/visual-studio-2010-copy-paste-bug. In the mean time if some one find a way to “solve” this problem please share the solution.
    Thanks.

    • Hello Bahrudin!
      I have to thank YOU for such a unique place.
      About “my” issue, as you could see i’m not the only one. And yes it started to happen when i had a RDP open. suddenly (and yes suddenly, means no updates, no changes on software and hardware, nothing but windows updates) this happens every single time i try to copy from outside of VS.
      Steps to reproduce….Well all what i did to this mess start.
      1. Open a RDP session and let it open
      2. Open a VS project/solution
      3. Open notepad and load a file or type anything there
      4. Go back to VS, Go back to notepad and select any text
      5. Copy/Cut the selected text and paste it to VS.
      6. Click on the VS Area.
      VS Hangs…
      if this happens once, it will keep happening even if you skip the first step.

  2. Hi
    I’ve tried to reproduce a bug several times ( Windows 7 64 bit), but unsuccessful. I have opened RDP all the time since I am working with remote computer everyday.
    There must something else on your pc.
    Maybe it is relatd to localization of windows or something specific for your PC.

    • Hi,
      My OS is in english (Win 7 Ultimate x86), the 99% of software installed is from MS (even the antivirus). I’d re-installed the SP1, look for other VS updates, but nothing seems to fix this issue. I’d closed software that may be using the clipboard in the background like teamviewer, VNC, download manager and ie. but nothing.
      One more thing for each time that VS crashes i have a report of google chrome crash in
      C:\Users\Estuardo\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportArchive.. Coincidence??

      UPDATE!!!
      I’ve installed MS LightSwitch Trial and de problem is gone!!.

      I’ll keep this post updated to let you (all) know any change

      • Jet,

  3. The Okavango Delta is a great tourist destination as it turns into an amazing network of waterways during the rains
    and is frequented by herds of elephants. Not any kind of transport can also bring you such classic features.

    But here are some ways to cut your everyday expenses and free up some cash that
    you can put into savings that will become your getaway fund.

  4. En el segundo grupo se hallan los pointer y setter, destacando el pointer inglés como uno de los perros de caza más conocidos en todo el mundo.

    De forma básica cumplen exactamente la misma función que los
    retriever pero en el agua.

  5. Market share for Andropid by April 2011 was nearly around 37%.
    One of the best new features in i – OS 8 is the ability to use third-party keyboards.
    Further you need to contact with overall i
    – OS development requirements.
