A few days ago, I posted about a new e-Book that's available to show you how to build a sample application with ASP.NET MVC. Well, I just found this post about a bug in Visual Studio when using ASP.NET MVC on Phil Haack's blog. Phil Haack is a a co-author of the book Scott Guthrie wrote that sample application documentation for, and a widely followed .NET development blogger.

Anyway, I use Resharper so that article caught my eye. Phil Haack points out that there was recently a hotfix made to Visual Web Developer and Visual Studio to allow ASP.NET MVC to play nicely with add-ins such as Resharper, Azure, Power Commands, etc. He didn't talk about what problems people were having that prompted the fix, but he did mention that it isn't working for all add-ins.

Digging a bit deeper, I found that people were getting crashes in Visual Studio and Visual Web Developer when viewing pages in design mode, or just trying to install ASP.NET MVC. Apparently this was all taken care of with a CLR fix. Thanks Visual Web Developer blog!

So, if you're having any problems with ASP.NET MVC, or you use Visual Studio add-ins and are planning on using ASP.NET MVC in the future, I recommend you download and install this hotfix from Microsoft connect here.
