    Now I know I'm way too old for this programming stuff but I just wrote a .NET app than ran very well in my Win7 PC but would not even start up on an XP. When I put in some try/catch code I got the following exception message: "exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation". Really? I believe it would have been almost as helpful to exclaim "the rain in spain falls mainly on the plain". Anyhow, by using stacktrace I found and corrected the problem (XP was not happy with a 256x256 icon). Do others find this message ok..or is it just me?

    Well, it was a management level error message... information was technically correct, but practically useless!!

            I'm particularly annoyed by that error because it's the bane of asynchronous programming. If the exception does not occur on the main thread of the process, it gives that error instead of anything helpful.

            The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.
