• Visual Basic Try...Catch statement Question

  I have a Try...Catch statement that contains 12 Operations inside it. On the catch I want to display a msgbox that tells exactly which operations failed.

The reason I want to pinpoint exactly which operations failed is so that the user can email the error message to me and when I get it I will know exactly how to fix it. Thanks.

Each time a user exits via the X box an additional copy is left in memory (as viewed by the Task Manager).

Could this be your case as well ...Show All

• Visual Studio Error "Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object"

  The objective of the Source Control Explorer is to display the contents of the TFS repository; is that correct Therefore the folders pane should show the current folders in the repository for my Team Project and when I select one of these folders the right pane should show the current contents of that folder in the repository. By 'current' I mean 'latest version'. Given the above, I find the following behaviour strange...
