    Resolved [RESOLVED] Could not load this custom viewer

    I am having trouble viewing data tables while debugging in Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition. When I attempt to view a data table, it throws the following exception:

    Name: VS_Error.jpg Views: 4391 Size: 13.7 KB

    Is this a limitation of the Community Edition?

    Perhaps you could describe exactly what you did in a bit more detail than that.

    I have referenced a data table in my code. When I hover the cursor over the code and click on the magnifying glass, normally I can view the data table. At the point of clicking on the magnifying glass, the "Could not load this custom viewer" error is shown rather than the data table viewer being invoked.

    Sounds like something is corrupt. I'd try a repair of VS. You can do that from the VS Installer.

    I updated to the latest version without success. I'll try a repair.

    That would only have replaced files that had actually changed since your old version so may well not have had any effect on the relevant file(s).

    That should copy over every file so, if something is corrupt, it should get replaced with a pristine copy. That's the theory, anyway.

    Running a Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition repair resolved this issue.
