What Does This Message Box Mean?

Thursday, January 31, 2008 4:56 PM
Update 2/2/08
I also started having trouble with updating a web service as well and started receiving errors telling me to reinstall Visual Studio (yikes!).  I googled the error  and came up with an MSDN thread recommending launching VS from the command line with the reset packages switch like so...

    >devenv /resetskippkgs

This solved both my web service error and the exception assistant issue.  It also only took about two seconds versus an entire lost day 8 hours before a beta release to reinstall Visual Studio.  Hope this helps someone else out there.

Has anyone ever seen this before?  Any other time I've used Visual Studio I would get the nifty Exception Assistant thing that allowed me to edit the code or examine the Exception in an object browser.  Now, on a fresh install of Visual Studio, I've been getting this thing for every first or second chance exception...



Does anyone know what this is, or more importantly, how I can turn it off and get my beloved Exception Assistant back?

Have you tried turning it back on in

Tools->Options->Debugging->Enable the Exception Assistant?

If I turn that off I get what you are seeing.

Thanks Carl!

Unfortunately it looks like it was already enabled on my machine so the issue must have been deeper.

However, I did figure out how to fix it with the /resetskippgs command. Check out the updated post for more information.

Thanks for the help!
