DVerma_MS (Expert):
Q: VB.NET What options do I have to select or references to add to debugger? This stuff works fine when executed with no Breakpoints. Trying to Debug, however, i = Form.ActiveForm.Height gives me the “System.NullReferenceException – Object
A: Hi! This is a strange error and I cannot repro this. Could you please tell me more about the app? I used a VB Winforms app, added a button, put this code in there, set a bp on and after it and could hit them successfully. Is the difference in the repro scenarios only setting of the debugger or is it possible you are running different versions of the exe in the debug/nodebug cases?
