1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.

Breaking news:
As we could not cope with the Ossenstal pancake yesterday in Epe, we took it home in a doggybag.
Well not exactly a doggybag, the restaurant provided us with a quite luxurious box that looked a bit like a pizza delivery box.
We decided to warm it up in the airfryer, and to our surprise it tasted even better than the day before!
Nice and crispy, and we had some vanilla ice beside it

Knowing full well that if you continually beat on an ssd folder such as it can be when developing a software program and continually editing and compiling / running it that you can exceed the write count capability of your ssd device, I did it anyway cloning my spinner drive in my laptop to an ssd last October and beating the crap out of the project folder since.
Today I opened up vs to monkey around with a new feature and when I opened the view on question and put my cursor in a razor block and typed, instead of getting the if( I intended I got a vs crash dialog.
Experimenting, I found that if I tried to type anything in any razor block it would crash but I could edit the javascript and html without issue. Also if I opened a different mvc project and attempted to type in a razor block it would work.
The error was a CLR20r3 which seems is rather generic and affects many different packages according to googling the issue.
Not "getting" what was going on, I updated vs, I ran a malwarebytes scan 0 issues........
And was stumped. I have imaged the machine two days prior but hate bare metal restoring
over what might be trivial but what is it?
Then I thought, you don't suppose some blocks in the project folder have got read only do ya?
So I copied the project folder to a new one, renamed the possible read only folder and the new copy to be what it should be, opened up the project and the problem was... gone!
So yeah, I leave this here on the internet and a breadcrumb for others.
Time to beat on some new blocks. 
And consider a fresh ssd. They're pretty cheap anymore.

So was your SSD dead because of too many writes?

That's not how SSDs work. In order to prevent a single block being "pounded upon" too much (think of the FAT table), they use wear leveling. This means that a particular LBA doesn't map to a particular physical block.
Some physical blocks on the SSD are reserved as "spares", to handle the case of blocks that have gone read-only. This is handled transparently by the SSD's firmware. The SSD will typically go read-only only when all the spare blocks have been used.
Your description shows that this was not the case. I would look elsewhere for the cause of the error in VS.

What Dan said. I have three laptops in front of me. They all have SSDs for many years. Thinking about it, the one I am typing on is almost 5 years old. The second one is nigh 9 years old (I'd have to do some historical research, but I tend to replace my equipment every 3-4 years). The last one is brand new, and I haven't had the time to stage all of the VMs I want to use.
I've never had an SSD failure. And these are dev laptops that grind through compile processing, etc. At first I was concerned about infant death of an SSD, but it's more likely you'll be in a car accident.

Not really - with that one known letter in the middle and all the "excluded letters", I'm down to triple vowel or "exotic consonant" words. And there aren't that many of them (that I can think of, anyway!)

No, really!
I just remembered we own an electric fan, so I'm now getting cool breezes every couple of seconds (and so is Herself in the next room).
That's better - there isn't a breath of wind out there, and it's hot and sticky.
For Wales, it's really hot - it's actually not raining and hasn't for days now

I guess A/C is too expensive and would not be used after the current conditions.
My sister-in-law lives in San Antonio, and they are running temps at 108 degrees Fahrenheit. I'm American and too lazy to look up the conversion.
They haven't had rain since February. It's sort of OK, as I don't like her husband at all.
BTW I'm sure you have a lot of fans on this forum. I myself am one. 
A/C is Cool!

Although we have several fans, even big ones, we decided to flee the house and went biking in the woods near the town of Epe in the Netherlands.
We biked close to the edge of a military shooting range (didn't get hit luckily), and as always my thought was:
those military always seem to take the nicest spots for themselves.
Very nice woods and patches of purple heather, even spotted a fitch and a wild boar with piggies!
We also decided to try the famous "Ossenstal pannenkoek", but that proved a bit too heavy, it's a kind of pancake but deep-fried with bacon

 Every room has 1 or more ceiling fans, some have standing fans as well and we have ducted A/C - welcome to the tropics. We also go 3-4 months without rain and everything goes brown then mother nature dumps huge volumes of water and the trifids return.
I do hope the rain, when it comes, is you're usual drizzle and not the torrents we get.

Same over in the Netherlands.
I have a fan in the attic, but it hasn't been used for a few years.
Tried it a few weeks back, but it screeched so much I don't want to use it anymore.
27C inside the house now (keeping everything closed to keep the heat out).
28.5C yesterday afternoon

My house was built in 1989 before building codes went bat crap crazy with insane levels of sealing and insulation. One of my favorite appliances in the house is a "whole house attic fan." I'm in the SE US, so we run 32-35C most of August. But when September comes and Autumn cools things off, I open all the windows. I love the fresh air.
