My apologies. It is Winforms. I set up a exception handler at program start
but it never even gets to that point.

Peter,

I decided to pull the project apart and do it over as this had been migrated
from 1.1 of the framework.

Here is the situation:

Create new Windows project...

add another form (form2)

declare several instances of form2 in form1 load event.

add properties and methods to form2. Nothing fancy. Strings and arrays and
whatever.

Here is what happened:

Lets say form2 has this property.

Private ipserver As String '= "10.10.10.10"
   Public Property IPServerAddress() As String
       Get
           Return ipserver
       End Get
       Set(ByVal Value As String)
           ipserver = "10.10.10.10"
       End Set
   End Property

If I leave the private variable assigned it will stop and give me the error:

Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication
that other memory is corrupt.

If I fix all of them, it wont stop anymore until teh declaration of the new
form but then gives me the sae error at that  point.

In teh event viewer we see

.NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.42 - Fatal Execution Engine Error (7A2B45A2)
(0)

Thank you for your help.
