Question

I just discovered this problem today, and I had no idea what caused this problem. My project had been developed for few months.

I have a project(solution), with several projects in there, it works well if I write and debug, by pressing F5.

The problem occur is when I press Ctrl+F5 (to skip debug mode), or run directly from double click the exe, it crashed. The errors dialogs that pop up every times are different, but OutOfMemoryException is the most frequent one.

1. I had checked to make sure all my projects are .Net 3.5
2. I put a MessageBox.Show(“something”) at the beginning of my main project constructor, but it never reach.
3. I use some registry cleaner to clean/fix my registry, scan for viruses.
4. I had try to read the meaning of each error and exception, but still no clue why it happen.

These are a series of screenshots if I press Ctrl + F5. (FutureGenerator is some random name I gave to my project.)

Series of screenshot if I run the app from my debug folder, FutureGenerator.exe

I suspect this is caused by framework crashed during Windows Update, but I removed those update that I performed recently, still same. The exe file works on other non development PC, but I don’t want to reformat my PC or reinstall my VS, yet, because it’s a painful process.

Any idea, anyone?? Million thanks.

I found the problem. It’s actually because I added FutureGenerator.exe into Application Verifier by Microsoft. The verifier only support debugging testing.

After I removed FutureGenerator.exe from the Application Verifier, everything’s ok.
