VS and Lost Errors

[seanbo]

I'm finding recently that when i get an exception, Visual Studio .net always tells me that it occurred at the line 'Application.Run(new Form1());'. this is true from a certain prespective, but not very helpful. how can i make it be a little more presice?

use the try,catch,finally statement like this

try
{
the code you want to execute
}
catch(Exception e)
{
MessageBox.Show(e.Message);
}
finally
{
destruction of the object variables that you don't need
}

i know how to use try and catch, that's not what i'm asking. how can i make visual studio tell me the correct line number for the location of an error, rather the the line number of 'Application.Run(new Form1());'??

Could it be that the error is ocurring in the constructor of your Form1 object? In which case, the error location is correct.

i think you can't , i remember that Delphi does the same thing but never know why

it's not chip. i know where it's happening. in fact, i can always work it out - but i'd work it out faster if i were told. i'm sure it used to be more precise, i thought that i might have pressed something daft.

javac always used to give fantasticly detailed error reports that detailed the whereabouts of the error in every class involved - a great list of errors, but it was always obvious which one was yours (actually, it probably still does. but not for me, i don't really program any java now).
