I have a very annoying problem.
I have a. Net application and when I debug it than once I click the application (it doesnt matter where I click on the application .)
then only that application hangs. The other application like visual studio and firefox are running as usual.

Has anyone here had the same problem and how to solve this?

do you have code in the Form_Load event?
and if so, you should paste it here so we can understand better what is happening at run time.

if the application is hanging up when you are debugging it then you can a few problems from
something simple in the Form_Load event to a bad call in the Application.Config file that isnt being seen by the debugger.
there isnt much we can do if you dont give use error message or let use see the code where it is erroring from.

I don't get an error message. It just hangs.

some of your "Settings" name my be causing a conflict.
you should use some type of custom name for settings.
instead of "check" which is really really wrong, it should be something like ChkBoxBackgroundColor or cbBgColor or cbSOMETHING other then what the setting is for.

and the same with all the other names. throw a "appNAME" in there somewhere.

and what code is in the "Form1_Load" Event?

[DeveloperJacob]

This is my form_load event:

Code: Select all

    Private Sub frmMain_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

    End Sub

I changed my settings and it seems to be working again! wahooo;
Thanks for your help!
