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

Developer,

You can be lucky however probably is at least needed what external
component, and where you use that as a piece of code to help you.

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

What does "External Component" mean.
Is that one of my UserControls that is dying when the form is closing?

Thanks

Can you handle the exception How? I'll try putting TRY about the entire sub and about
Application.Run.

I'm at a lose because I don't know what it means by "External component"
Is that external to the framework? Does it mean one of my UserControls?
and see if there is a Exception.InnerException > value (or use
Exception.GetBaseException)? I'll need to read about the two nethods you mention.

Thanks

Can you handle the exception and see if there is a

value (or use Exception.GetBaseException)?
This is:
External component has thrown an exception.
Thanks

Any suggestions as to what to try next?

Developer,

I assume that you don't have a program that only uses Microsoft controls.

SEHE, however I never heard of that exept in the German language for I saw,
and therefore it gives a lot of hits on Google..
