iOS Question IDE locks up

[aaronk]

Hi,

I am using B4i Version 5.00.

For some reason every now and then (seems to happen 2-3 times a day) when I open the designer, it locks up my IDE and I am forced to force close the IDE, which then I loose what code I have typed out from last time I saved my project.

I am running the B4i IDE on my MacBook Pro in a Virtual machine in Windows 10.

I have allocated the VM to have 8GB of RAM so it should be good enough to run. Only seems to happen with B4i and B4A seems to run OK.

When I press Crtl + Tab to cycle between the opened programs on my Win10, I see a heap of notification windows display. They seem to open then close fairly fast, so I can't read what it shows.

Is there anything I can do to help fix this issue, as I keep losing a heap of code forgetting to save my code before opening the designer. (I guess a general rule is to save as I go, but the IDE does that for me when I run my project, but if I have run the code for a while then I lose what I had done)

Yes. It is probably related to a .Net Framework bug: https://b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4a-6-3-freezed-on-designer.71579/#post-455326

Note that the above instructions apply to B4A. Make sure to edit B4i INI file instead.

I will give that a go and see how it goes.

I gave it a go (with B4i INI file) but still locks up the designer. It seems to not happen as often as before, but still locks up.

Lucky this time I saved my project before opening the designer.

Try to update .Net Framework to the latest version.

Try to update .Net Framework to the latest version.

I tried to install .net framework 4.7.2 but it says NET Framework 4.7.2 or a later update is already installed on this computer.

I am guessing this is the latest version ?
