I just reinstalled Windows on my desktop computer, and so also reinstalled Visual C# Express 2008. First I had some weirdness with security certificates the manafest which I still don't fully understand, but fixed by turning off the "Sign the ClickOnce manafests" option.
Now I have a really weird issue: When I debug the program, exceptions are treated as return statements. The IDE does not stop and tell me that there was an error, but code beyond the exception is not run, just as if there was a return statement in place of the "throw new Exception();" statement. If I try debugging the project on my laptop it works just fine. What is this madness?
I'm running Vista 64-bit on the desktop, Vista 32-bit on the laptop.
