VS.NET 2005 crashing on configure data source and server explorer

So VS.NET 2005 has been so super stable I was really suprised when it seemed like out of the blue it was crashing every time I opened the server explorer or tried to use the Data source designer in ASP.NET.

I fixed this by renaming the DefaultView.SEView file in my Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\ServerExplorer folder to DefaultView.SEView.old - something in that file got corrupted.  Since I only had two data connection in my view - replacing them wasn't so hard, and after I renamed the old file I got a new one, and no more crashes.  Yipeee!  Hopefully this might help someone else.

Thanks for taking time to post this message.

I have this problem. Now with the final release. The first time I deleted the whole directory. Now, it appears again and I can't get anyway to click on Next in the Configure Data Source. (15 months later).

I someone has an idea...

I had this same problem too although I only found this post while searching for DefaultView.SEView on Google after trying to find any file that had a personalized setting for data connections, but it was helpful to know that I could just rename the file.
