If Design or Split view has been used with an aspx page that contains a DevExpress web control (e.g. a ASPxButton) VS2008 crashes when VS2008 is closed. If only Source view is used then VS2008 does NOT crasch on exit.
The error report says that it is a system.nullreferenceexception in devexpress.web.v7.3 (see attached image).
Steps to Reproduce:
Create a new web site (or a web application project) and add a ASPxButton (or ASPxGridView or ASPxRoundPanel or presumably any other DevExpress control) to the web form.
Switch from Source view to Design (or Split) view (at least once).
Exit VS2008.
Actual Results:
After a couple of seconds the "Microsoft Visual Studio has encountered a problem and needs to close" appears. (see attached image).
Expected Results:
Normal errorfree exit.
