I have a windows form project and i was trying to load the form in Visual Studio so that i can make changes to it. The form was taking lot of time to load and then eventually the visual studio crashed. The form is comming properly at runtime. But at design time it is crashing the visual studio as a result i am not able to do anything with it. Please let me know the solution to it?

    Execute Visual Studio in SafeMode. If you are able to open the form then you know the problem is caused by a third-party VSPackage (an extension of something like that) and you need to contact them about the problem. If the problem occurs in SafeMode then you need to report the problem to Microsoft, except you need to first ensure that VS is updated and that a repair (as @Daniel Zhang-MSFT says) does not help.
