"Start without debugging" troubles

[Nick Ward]

Hey,
I'm writing an app using C# visual studio express edition. When i run it in
debug mode it runs fine and works perfectly, but when i run it without
debugging (or from explorer) it crashes and comes up with a "send error
report" dialog. Does anyone know why this happens, or how to find out why it
is happening? Obviously if it was running in debug mode it would break and
show me where the error is but since it isn't, how do i find out?
Thanks in advance
Nick

Do you reference string variables without initializing them? Like:

private string _foo
//...

Console.WriteLine(_foo);

This might lead to errors as in debug builds they're null. The best
way to do this is to initialize your strings with string.Empty.

Also, your message is a bit vague: does vs.net crash or do you get an
exception or does your app crash with a gpf (as that's what seems to be
happening as you get a send error report message)
