exceptions

I'm getting a System.NullReferenceException when my application starts up (after a small login screen) which doesn't crash the entire app but prevents it from loading correctly.

How can I get the VS.Net debugger to stop at the error so I can fix it?

The output I'm getting in the Immediate Window is:

A first chance exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in GrelisCrampApp.exe

The main reason I use custom exceptions is to not use one exception type to cover the same problem in different contexts… >>> More
