Error handling not working???

[George Hardy]

i was wondering why i never get to see my message box. when i break on the
message box, and try to examine the ex.message, it says

" ex.Message 'ex.Message' is not declared or the module containing it is not
loaded in the debugging session. "
why doesn't this code work?????

================================================== ========

try

...<code that breaks>

Catch ex As Exception

MessageBox ("error occured: " & ex.Message)

End Try

================================================== ========

thanks in advance!

This works just fine on my VS 2005 Team Suite SP1 on Windows XP Professional
SP2. Which version are you using?

It sounds as though you started a debug session or such without compiling
modified code...so it breaks on a line where the code has changed, but
hasn't yet compiled....

Although, I've seen weird stuff in the debugger as well and won't go as far
as saying this isn't a bug anyways :)
