Hey again,

I apologize for so many posts about Windows wonk. On the positive side, it has taught me more about the Visual Studio debugger and helped me gain a deeper appreciation of Linux. :D

In case anyone else rams their head against this one, the answer was simple: a CTRL-F (Find) attempt printed an actual F (followed by what I wanted to find), which of course drove Visual Studio...

Good evening (or morning, or whatever), :biggrin:

So before I copy all my code and do a git reset --hard, I figured I'd see if anyone in here has ever dealt with this particular VS disintegration....

Man, Visual Studio just... stinks. :biggrin: I ended up doing a total rewrite, completely eliminating the C# part entirely, and now finally I get usable info. ironically it wasn't a COM thing at...
