I am having trouble debugging my application

[BaDDBLooD]

I am making a IRC Chat Program and i when i run my program using the little "play" button in debug mode, it won't display everything.

It just says "Connect" and there should be other messages. I also have another window that displays that incoming/outgong packets that nothing is showing up in. However, it does add the people in the current channel to the userlist. When i run the actual Executable, not through the IDE, Everything works.. as it's supposed to.

Thanks for your help

So use the debugger. Place a breakpoint at a line that you believe should be executed and when execution breaks there step through the code one line at a time to see where execution goes. Use the Locals and Watch windows to follow the values of variables, properties and expressions as you go. Add lines like Debug.WriteLine to your code so it will output information as it executes telling you where it's at and what it's doing.
