Hello,

I have a VB.NET app that uses the standard .NET controls + a WebBrowser
control for the interface. I've added an ImageList (imlToolbar) to my form
and assigned it to the Toolbat (tlbMain). The ImageList contains 3 16x16 .gif
images.
Now I can assign the Toolbar Buttons their appropriate images but when I
attemp to run in debug mode, I get the following error:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException'
occurred in mscorlib.dll

Unhandled Exception: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception

My system is running the following: Windows XP SP2 with Framework ver 1.1
using Visual Studio.NET 2002.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
 
Ok I was able to get it to work by including a manifest that uses ver 6 of
Common Controls, however I'm wondering if this will still work on non XP
systems?

Again, anyhelp would be appreciated.

I assume you are using a manifest file with your "devenv.exe" in order to
see visual styles within the IDE. Remove the manifest file and then
recreate the form.
