  • not really the forum for this type of question. However, just to check that you have enough RAM/CPU - no new plugins and failing that you have reset your settings: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/ms247075(v=vs.90).aspx – Daniel Casserly Jan 12 '16 at 15:49

    There was a bug in visual studio. I had an issue where creating a data source from an EF based class library crashed VS if the visual design window was open. Update 2 CTP fixed this but is not yet released for production environments. (I know this is an old post but if anyone was looking at the same issue...) – James Feb 21 '16 at 12:21

I would do the following:

  1. Update Visual Studio
  2. Ensure all the plugins are also updated.

If that doesn't resolve your issue, I would boot Visual Studio into Safe Mode.

START /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\" devenv.exe /safemode

If it works in Safe Mode, it could be a plugin. However, if you update all initially it should resolve your issue. You'll also want to ensure you do have the SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio, otherwise it will fail.
