I got this error message (External Component has thrown an exception) when debugging a project. It started all of a sudden yesterday afternoon.

Can anyone help?

  • Ask the question and answer it. That would be better than posting an answer as a question. – Oded Aug 02 '11 at 10:54
  • If you think that this post is not going to be useful to anyone then by all means vote it down. I thought I was doing a service to the developer community out there by posting this, but if that's the response I get from someone with a gazillion reputation points then I'll reconsider being community minded. – Peter Aug 02 '11 at 11:00

    He's not telling you that there's anything wrong with sharing information. He's telling you that **questions** are reserved for, well, *questions*, not answers or useful tidbits. If you want to self-answer a question, do as the FAQ says and pretend that you're on Jeopardy: Ask a question and then answer it. Please be community minded by following community norms. There's a good reason for all of them. – Cody Gray - on strike Aug 02 '11 at 11:02
  • Peter - the way SO works is by asking and answering a question (2 separate things). We expect this format to be adhered to as part of the norm. It is absolutely acceptable to ask a question and answer it yourself, but answering the question in the body of the question is not how we do things here. I was trying to give you a pointer regarding usage of SO. – Oded Aug 02 '11 at 11:04
  • As it happens, it is a duplicate of the question that Cody Gray suggested. I did a search before posting and couldn't find that original one. – Peter Aug 02 '11 at 11:09

I applied the advice in http://forums.asp.net/t/1704958.aspx/7/10?Re+SEHException+thrown+when+I+run+the+application (i.e. uninstall Trusteer Rapport) and now it's OK.

I had the same problem as Peter, and couldn't work out what on earth was the matter until I checked http://forums.asp.net/p/1704958/4537086.aspx/1?Re+SEHException+thrown+when+I+run+the+application. Trusteer have now released an update ( download it from the link above) and this seems to have fixed the problem.
