strange error/can ne one repoduce it?

Can someone reproduce the following error?

I'm using the module at the bottom of my post to owner draw a menu
items, I call the module from a form like this:

Private Sub mnuOpen_DrawIte m(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows. Forms.DrawItemE ventArgs) Handles mnuOpen.DrawIte m
Dim Ic As New Icon(Applicatio n.StartupPath & "\101_72.ic o")
DrawItems(e, mnuOpen, Ic)
End Sub

Private Sub mnuOpen_Measure Item(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows. Forms.MeasureIt emEventArgs) Handles mnuOpen.Measure Item
MeasureItems(e, mnuOpen)
End Sub
It al works just fine but if I try to debug and step through it, or if
I type something wrong so that I get an error message at runtime. The
next time I try to run it I keep getting this error message:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.OutOfMe moryException' occurred
in system.drawing. dll
Additional information: Out of memory.

and then right clicking (even on the desktop) doesn't work like it
should and I have to reboot my pc for everything to return to normal.
Is there something wrong in the module. Or isn't it my fault?

thanks a lot

Good Evening Piedro,

Your problem is common to programmers. It is known as memory leak. You are
not handling your errors with try catch statements and when that happens your
computer still thinks it is running that program and will not release the
memory unless you reboot.

My suggestion is to put a try catch such as the one below this way when a
runtime error occurs it will release memory and you can at least debug
without running out of memory.
Try
'potential code that is having errors
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Messa ge)
End
End Try

Hi Rachel,

thnx for your reply, I know about memory leaks but the problem even
kicks in when there isn't an error in the prog, but when I just step
through it by placing a break in the code and then step through it,
that's why I think it's a strange error.

Grtz Peter
