Argh. So I'm doing some freelance stuff at the moment. I'm determined to not get involved in the site as a whole because it's a hideous mess I can barely get a grasp of, so I've decided that the best way forward is for me to wrap all the work I'm doing into self-contained controls that they can drop in themselves. Thing is, I've not really done this before. I've got the actual control sorted, but it's the designer stuff I'm having issues with. I've been following this example, but whenever I look at the control in the designer it says quote: The type initializer for 'EO.Web.Internal.ji' threw and exception Now, I know this is because I've based the control on another third-party control we're using (hence the EO.Web namespace) but how can I view a trace for an exception that happens in the designer?! Have you heard of "slobber"? Do you tend to think of it as a positive term? Because the one thing that dogs can be trusted to do, besides thumping gaseous dead rats out their ass and besides biting everybody, is to slobber all over themselves and you. You need to do some serious thinking about whether a dog is really what you need in your life right now.

Damn, I started replying to this yesterday morning and got distracted.

Anyway, if you're still having trouble, you can load the control's source code in one instance of Visual Studio, then use the Debug -> Attach to process dialog to attach to another instance of Visual Studio. Then when the exception is thrown in the designer in the second instance, you should get the full exception debug experience in the first.
