VS2005 launch hiccups, a bit scary

update: Caleb pointed out that while they were using the RTM of VS2005, they were using the CTP of another product that ties in with VS so hopefully that was the problem

I started out with a simple user defined function. Create a C# database project, click “Add User-Defined Function”, ......

Step through the .net framework's MSIL
I had a problem I was debugging where the framework was throwing an exception about 15 levels deep into it's own stack, and my code calling it was perfectly valid. I came accross this very useful entry on The Code Project by Sumeet Kumarhttp://www.codeproject... Basically you're able to use ildasm to extract the framework's IL, recompile it in debug mode and gacutil it back into the GAC (although his post missed the fact that you need to use sn.exe to skip verification). ......
