Question

I am getting this exception:

Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute.

Directly after this code:

     else if (count == 0)
                    {
                        partCategory.Add(words[count].ToString());
                        foreach (string categoryS in partCategory)
                        {
                            if (categoryS != words[count].ToString())
                            {
                                partCategory.Add(words[count].ToString());
                            }
                        }
                    }

I am taking a guess that it may be the Add method that was used prior to it, but I’m not sure.

Call Stack Code:

Thanks for your future help!

Yes that’s because you are modifying the collection you are enumerating.
