InteropServices .SEHException exception when debugging

3 New Member

Hi guys,

I've lately been plagued with a SEHException while trying to debug VB.Net applications. I'm not exactly sure when the problem started to appear but it literally just appeared out of nowhere as debugging was working fine one day and then this error the next.

I've read plenty of posts relating to this error but they all seem outdated and they mostly seem to point to Application.Ena bleVisualStyles () which i do not use.

Also note that if i open a brand new solution with a blank form and try to debug that, i still get the same error. I've tried using different frameworks too (2.0, 3.0, 3.5 SP1) but the problem seems to happen with all three.

System info:
- Vista Home Premium (64-bit) w/ SP1 (6.0.6001)
- Visual Studio 2008 Professional SP1 (9.030729.1)

The error reads:

SEHException was unhandled
"External component has thrown an exception."
In: System.Runtime. InteropServices .SEHException
Error Code: -2147467259
Source: System.Windows. Forms
Stack Trace: " at System.Windows. Forms.UnsafeNat iveMethods.Send Message(HandleR ef hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam)\r\n at System.Windows.

ThreadStart()"

Needless to say I've been extremely annoyed by this error so any help is appreciated.

Thanks a million!

Getting strange InteropServices.SEHException exception

by: MJB | last post by:

I never get the above exception in Windows 2k. It only happens in Windows XP, which is the first oddity. My application is multi-threaded and I use the webbrowser control and media player. The exception normally occurs when I open the browser control or media control, but sometimes it just occurs randomly. I was thinking first that it was some sort of build difference with the COM interop components, but I re-referenced and rebuilt...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
