Debugging VB Windows Application

[G. Schmelzer]

Hi Ng,

I've got a problem with the debugging of a Windows Application. I start the
app in Debug Mode. But when an exception appears, vs.net doesen't jump to
code line where the exception occured. I only get the standard exception
message. So I cannot trace the line, in which the exception occured. I can
set breakpoints, where the ide then stops.

Does anybody know, how I have to configure the app that it will jump to the
exception line in code?

Thanks in Advance

G. Schmelzer

Post the complete exception text (and the callstack, if possible). You
cannot browse the code if the exception occured in a component you don't
have the source code for, like "System.Windows.Forms.dll".

************** JIT-Debuggen **************
Um das JIT-Debuggen (Just-In-Time) zu aktivieren, muss in der
Konfigurationsdatei der Anwendung oder des Computers
(machine.config) der jitDebugging-Wert im Abschnitt system.windows.forms
festgelegt werden.
Die Anwendung muss mit aktiviertem Debuggen kompiliert werden.

Zum Beispiel:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />

Wenn das JIT-Debuggen aktiviert ist, werden alle nicht behandelten
Ausnahmen an den JIT-Debugger gesendet, der auf dem
Computer registriert ist, und nicht von diesem Dialogfeld behandelt.


Thanks G. Schmelzer

Hi G.

Great that you translated all for Herfried, that will make it a lot easier
for him.

I am sure he can answer it now, I am not sure so I wait on him.
(Not that I cannot read it)

Only for fun

Hi Cor,
actually, I haven't translated it. As I'm German I use the German Edition of
VS.Net

If you want me to, I can translate it. But I doubt that it will be correct.

There is not much info in the message except that VB.NET tries to parse
a double from a string and fails because the string is in wrong format...

Did you follow the step described here? After that, the IDE should jump to
the error line instead of you getting the other error dialog.

Hi Armin,

I did change this Setting. After the change, the breakpoints weren't working
anymore....
