Visual Studio crashes when using SQLite and SQL Server Compact Toolbox after update

sultanaalyami opened this issue · comments

Describe what is not working as expected.

After connecting to a local SQLite database using SQLite and SQL Server Compact Toolbox, Visual Studio crashed. Each subsequent attempt to restart resulted in it closing automatically after a few seconds. Additionally, after a recent update, the tool remains connected to the database even after removing the connection from the connection window. Adjusting the toolbox settings related to database retrieval causes Visual Studio to crash again.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Connect to a local SQLite database using SQLite and SQL Server Compact Toolbox.
  2. Observe Visual Studio crashing and closing automatically after a few seconds.
  3. Install the update Visual Studio 2022 version 17.7.6.
  4. Use the toolbox post-update and notice that the tool remains connected to the database even after removing the connection.
  5. Access the toolbox settings and adjust the database retrieval options.
  6. Observe Visual Studio crashing again.

Further technical details

  • Toolbox/Power Tools version: 4.8.776
  • Database engine: SQLite
  • Visual Studio or SSMS version: Visual Studio 2022 version 17.7.6

Additional Information:

The update released on Oct 24th, 2023 for Visual Studio 2022 version 17.7.6 mentions fixing issues related to adding a new SQLite connection, which might be related to the observed issue.

@sultanaalyami maybe you have some corrupted Server Explorer connections?

@sultanaalyami

I am unable to reproduce.

How do you determine that the toolbox remains connected?

What do you mean by: "Adjusting the toolbox settings related to database retrieval causes Visual Studio to crash again." ?
