In the property grid, if I set a property to an invalid value (which causes
an exception to be thrown), the property grid displays a message box with
"Property value is not valid." message with options to view the details
about the error as well as an OK and Cancel button.

In a designer smart tag, if you enter an invalid property value, then VS2005
crashes. Is there a work around to prevent Visual Studio from crashing?

Hi Abhishek,

Can you be specific of which control's SmartTag do you get VS2005 crash? I
can not find a control with SmartTag for me to input invalid value yet.
It would be helpful if you can provide the detailed steps and information
to help us reproduce this problem.

Thanks.

Best regards,
Jeffrey Tan
