Question

I’m not that up on VB.NET, the application I’m working on was not written by myself.
It works fine through the IDE but once I run it from the exe it gives me the above error.

Any clues?

This is really hacking me off!

Answer 1

Afaik, the only way this could occur if you are compiling under debugging settings. You should be able to fix it by doing the following:

1. Right-click your solution on the solution explorer.
2. Select configuration properties.
3. At the top of the dialog box there should be a combobox, which will most likely say ‘Active(Debug)’.
4. Click on the dropdown and select release.
5. Ok out of everything.
6. Build > Rebuild Solution.
