VS2008

I'm using Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and it hangs when i click on a DataGridView.
Making some experiments I found that If I close the properties window it does not hangs, but if the properties windows is open (or if i reopen it) it hangs up.
It did function all ok up to some time ago, when I programmed the forms containing the DataGridWiew.
I have a handful of different projects with DataGridView, and it hangs in every project.
I have already tried to reset the toolbox and to reset all settings, to no extent.
How could I do?
Thanks.

Not enough information. Try not to overuse the designer. Simplify down your code running under design mode to bare minimum and see what happens...

Thanks.
The problem was due to an external dll that gave at runtime a missing dependencies error.
Clearly when one visualizes the properties of a DataGridView VS does some sort of execution in the back to elaborate the DataSources ...
