hi Chris,
I believe this is the bug we identified whereby the policy engine recurses
infinitely on the ErrorProvider's ContainerControlProperty. We have fixed
this in the next version of the product and are creating a KB article to
cover the current versions.

A work-around is to override the "ContainerControl" property on your
ErrorProvider to make it non-browsable:

    <System.ComponentModel.BrowsableAttribute(False)> _

    Public Overloads Property ContainerControl() As
System.Windows.Forms.ContainerControl

        Get

            Return MyBase.ContainerControl

        End Get

        Set(ByVal Value As System.Windows.Forms.ContainerControl)

            MyBase.ContainerControl = Value

        End Set

    End Property

The effect of this code is to make ContainerControl property non-browsable.
The policy engine ignores non-browsable properties.
