    Spiritual programming?

    I just received the error message "An exception has been thrown by the
    target of an invocation." So, I did as any good Christian would do, I closed
    Visual Studio 2005 Standard, said a little prayer, reopened Visual Studio,
    and the error was gone! Invocation = Prayer, so the target of a prayer
    threw an exception in my application!
    Honestly, what does that error message mean? It showed up when switching
    from viewing code to viewing the designer on a user control. There was no
    location listed for the error, it was the only error, and evidentially,
    there was nothing wrong with my code, because it works fine again.

      Are you using any com objects in your program?

          No, everything is .NET.

              We have that happen a lot: a lot of funny errors that make no sense that are
              easily cleared by closing VS and reopening.

              A lot of times, the errors are due to controls we purchased.

                  I have received errors like that while doing some remoting stuff that had
                  security issues. Think you could also get it for other reasons but that was
                  mine.
