If you try to it on design mode , then you are actually debugging VS.NET IDE itself :) .. For example, in "design mode" of VS.NET project ,open Command window and go to immediate window , now type "exit" .. IT WILL EXIT THE IDE.. SO PLEASE SAVE YOUR WORK BEFORE DOING ABOVE MENTIONED TEST.. Joyprakash Saikia MCSD.NET Software Architect Mellon San francisco

Execute a VB.NET project with Visual Studio 2003. Now open the Command Window by pressing Ctrl+alt+A. on the Command Window , Type "immed" and press enter switch to Immediate Window.. :) Cheers Joy Joyprakash Saikia
