VS2012 Crashing when adding checkbox field from dataset

VS2012

I have a problem with Visual Studio constantly crashing when adding a field from a dataset to my form. It's a simple drag and drop addition from the dataset in the IDE.

Sometimes it makes it sometimes not. If it makes it, and I try to edit the .text in the IDE it will crash, restart without saving the changes. I have to save EVERY CHANGE I make in order to make any progress at all.

This has occurred in the past, but then stopped for a while. But today, in the space of a half hour, VS2012 crashed several times. Now, of course, when I try to duplicate it to give the exact message, it's working.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Simple solution: I downloaded VS Community 2013.
Voila! No more crashes on the exact same code. This must definitely be something wrong with VS 2012, since the solution works with 2013 (perhaps the reason it's free)
NB: If you're using Crystal Reports you also have to install the update for it.

Exactly what I did. Like you said. No more crashing. Installed the update for Crystal Reports as well. Would like to learn the regular report forms, but I can't seem to get it right. Where can I find some advanced data on reporting in VS? Not using Crystal Reports, I mean.
