[02/03] BIG Problem

Allow me to skip right to the point:

Whenever I press Debug on ANY code, it gives me this box:

http://i36.tinypic.com/vshn53.png

If I press Break, it either freezes the program or returns me to the code.

Cancel returns me to the code.


Continue gives me the second text box. All the other text boxes just bring me back to the code.

This happens to ALL of the code, and all of them were stable just after last night when I tried to debug this code:

Code:

---

Function singNeverEndingSong()
' this will erase any text presently in the outputBox
outputBox.Text = ""
Dim outputText As String = ""
Dim loopCounter As Integer = 0
For loopCounter = 1 To 10
outputText = " This is the song that never ends, ... because.."
outputBox.AppendText(outputText + vbNewLine)
Next
End Function

---

The main problem is that nothing works anymore. I need to use VB03 for school, so up/downgrading is not an option.

I can't reinstall: I don't have the disks.

I tried to download mscorlib.dll from Google, with no luck.

Attached is my current mscorlib.dll file.

Also, since I can do nothing unless I can get this fixed, here's a video of EXACTLY what happens.

Help?

EDIT:

T_T losing hope...

Anyone? Please help :'(!

its not a problem with mscorlib.dll.
theres an error in your code somewhere thats causing that exception.
post your full code, and you might get some better answers.

edit: if there is a problem with your vb2003 installation, reinstalling it is the only option

it probably isn't the problem but you're using functions incorrectly:

vb Code:

Function checkIfwin(ByVal shellPic As Integer)
    If getRandomNumber() = 1 Then
        won(shellPic)
    Else
        lost(shellPic)
    End If
End Function

functions return a value, i.e.

vb Code:

Function checkIfwin(ByVal shellPic As Integer) as boolean
    return true
end function
