Hi,

I've run into an issue that has me scratching my head and I'm hoping somebody has experienced a similar issue...

I have a user control that has a custom event handler. When adding a handle to this event from a separate winforms project, visual studio crashes with the below exception,

Application: devenv.exe
Framework Version: v4.0.30319
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.
Exception Info: exception code 8004753b, exception address 7786CBB2
Stack:

I have narrowed it down to the constructor of the event being the cause but I don't understand as to why. When I remove the argument and code of the constructor, I have no issues.

Not working,

Public Class PromotionEventArgs
    Inherits EventArgs

    Private _quantity As Integer

    Public Sub New(ByVal Quantity As Integer)
        _quantity = Quantity
    End Sub

    Public ReadOnly Property Quantity As Integer
        Get
            Return _quantity
        End Get
    End Property
End Class

Working,

Public Class PromotionEventArgs
    Inherits EventArgs

    Private _quantity As Integer

    Public Sub New()
    End Sub

    Public ReadOnly Property Quantity As Integer
        Get
            Return _quantity
        End Get
    End Property
End Class

What I have tried:

Debugging the user control in design time

Clearing the Visual Studio cache

Cleaning and rebuilding the entire solution
