Code Providers - The '"DeclareProvider" encountered an error and has been disabled' notification occasionally appears

created 6 years ago

Hi - I am getting the error 'DeclareProvider' encountered an error and has been disabled' on a fairly regular basis. Using vb.net
I am just hitting the 'enable' button which seems to allow me to continue coding (in the short run at least) - can you throw some light on this? Also- am I doing any harm by hitting the 'enable' button?

Stack trace:
System.NullReferenceException : Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

    Hi Des,
    I have reproduced it locally. Please give us some time to research the issue in detail.
    In the meantime, I suggest that you keep this provider disabled to prevent this error from appearing again until we found the cause of this problem and fix it.
