Anyone have any suggestions for tracking down the an error occuring in the dll:

I've already got try/catch on all my code. When in debug mode it comes up with unhandled exception :

Systems.Windows.Forms.dll
SystemInvalidCastException

Since I've got all my code in try/catch blocks - this must be occurring in the auto-gen code - which drives me crazy. How do I find this kind of error and get rid of it?
 
Does it highlight the code that generated the error? Try it with Option Strict Off - do you still get the error?

There's a thin line between genius, and insanity!
 
Thank you - i set it on for both explicit and strict and found the problem - it's with the checkboxes - I have them setup in the tables as bits with a Y or N in them and the checkboxes well- they just plain didn't like it.
