What does this mean: External component has thrown an exception.

[**Developer**]

What does this mean:

External component has thrown an exception.

My program crashes after it leaves a subroutine.

What I see during debugging is

when I press F11 at the End Sub statement

I get the following error message in a dialog box:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException'
occurred in system.windows.forms.dll

Additional information: External component has thrown an exception.



and

Application.Run(New Formzz) is highlighted

Can you handle the exception and see if there is a Exception.InnerException
value (or use Exception.GetBaseException)?
