Package: Rename Project throws an Access Violation

Hi there,

I want to unload and re-load a project within a Visual Studio package. The solution is open and I listens to the OnAfterRenameProject event. In this event I wrote the following few lines of C# code:

IVsHierarchy selectedHierarchy;

Solution.GetProjectOfUniqueName(project.UniqueName, out selectedHierarchy);

Solution.CloseSolutionElement((uint)__VSSLNCLOSEOPTIONS.SLNCLOSEOPT_UnloadProject, selectedHierarchy, 0);

When the CloseSolutionElement method is invoked, I get a AccessViolation:

A first chance exception of type 'System.AccessViolationException' occurred in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.TreeNavigation.HierarchyProvider.dll

Additional information: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

The problem is that I have no clue why this happens. I remember it worked 1-2 times but then *boom*. No chance to get it working again.

Maybe someone can provide some thoughts about this?

Bye,
Fabian
