Debugging

[simsima]

When ever I try to execute a programme I get all these debugging screens popping up like pops ups sometimes it causes Visual Studious (VB) to crush and I have to close all theses debugging windows (breaking points, processes, script explorer, watch up to 6 windows ,locals, call stack, registers, modules, memory up 5 windows, autos, treads) to see the programme is doing what it suppose to do and when I end running the program it messes up my design view i.e. closes the properties window, project explorer and if I had other windows on the project design.

I tried uninstalled and installed again but its still happening


Is there somewhere where you can set to get these windows not to show automatically, I can go to debugging and windows to show all those individual windows when I want but shouldn’t run automatically when I ran the programme

If I understand your description, when you run a program in debug mode, you are seeing more windows than when you are actually designing.

It is my experience that Visual Studio maintains two sets of open windows...one for designing and one for debugging. This is because you typically need more informational windows when debugging.

What I do is set up my design set as I want. I then start a new project of some sort and throw a couple objects on a form. I then run this in debug mode. While I debug mode I again set up my IDE as I like to see it...setting all the windows as my design mode, but adding a couple more I use while debugging. I then stop debugging the program and close down Visual Studio.

From that point on, Visual Studio remembers my two windows sets everytime I work on/debug a program. The key is having to set it up twice...

Hope that helps.

thank you for your input, however it has not helped, i crated new project in design mode i set all the screens i wanted to see i.e project browser,properties etc then i run the project i got the usual pop of all the diffent windows so i close them all down I got to the form in debuggin mode then i set up my IDE again with all the windows i wanted to see i stopped debugging close VB. I cam back to it created new project and run it but i still get the pops.

It sounds like you may have undocked all of these windows from the IDE. When you run your app, try dragging the windows into a desired docking position.

I agree with jebenson....It may be something to do with the docking. That might be the key to "holding" position.

NO the docking is fine, because i dock the windows at design mode and at run time mode. The problem is I get about 15 little windows of memory poppin gup, and 6 or 7 watch windows plus ll the others registeries,treads and so on. I close them all down dock all the other windows i want to keep i can run my programm as many times as i want although it may crush sometimes but when i go back to the desing mode all the windows are out of posion and i have some additional windos floating in desing mode i have to close them all down again ad re-position and the same thing happeens if i run the programme again.


I though it might a bug so i unstalled and rinstalled again but nothing has change.

Any way you can take a screenshot and post it??? I am having a difficult time understanding what you are describing and a picture may help clear things up.
