[vsfeedback]

VSF_TYPE_MARKDOWNWhen I open the syntax tree window and click on any node to view the directed syntax graph, Visual Studio 2019 crashes and restarts.

Any news on this issue? The View Directed Syntax Graph still causes a crash of VS 2019 , even in the latest version (16.4.0)

[bemayr]

In my case Visual Studio 2019 does not crash, it simply does nothing. Does anybody else have this problem?

Installed Plugins

• Visual Studio extension development
• DGML editor

---

Edit
Now it crashed as well (after a computer restart), after that same behavior as before.

Edit 2
added crashdump file

[Danghor]

It crashes on my machine as well, using Version 16.5.3 (April 7, 2020)

[FelixDamrau]

Still crashing in VS 16.5.4 and VS 16.6.0 preview 5

This seems to be a duplicate of issue #397

[liuxilu]

On mine too. 16.6.1 Community
same call stack

Change C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\Common7\IDE\Extensions\sb2m13sk.fu3\Roslyn.SyntaxVisualizer.DgmlHelper.dll!Roslyn.SyntaxVisualizer.DgmlHelper.My.Resources::Resources.get_SyntaxNodeLabel/get_SyntaxTokenLabel toreturn "Node {0}";andreturn "Token {0}"; using something like dnSpy, then things get work. And here's one copy.

Roslyn.SyntaxVisualizer.DgmlHelper.zip

For VS EULA, this operation has nothing to do with VS itself; For roslyn-sdk license, it's MIT.
