A utility program that worked fine yesterday doesn't work today - no form is displayed at all - and I haven't changed the source or recompiled that.
But...if I kick up VS, it works fine in the debugger - and it works fine if I run the Release version in VS as well, annoyingly.
The release version of the previous version works fine though, so it's something I've done that is confused.
And now I have to find out what it is and fix it. Without a debugger. Joy.
So stage 1: what are the differences between V2.4 and V2.5? Many. Many and various...

I guess your exe folder is missing a assembly referenced in the project. I suggest you run the application with Windbg it will show what is wrong with it.
Don't forget the pdb files for more detailed info

Do a search for the following line of code 
if (DateTime.Today.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Monday)
It's an OO world.
public class SanderRossel : Lazy<Person>
{
public void DoWork()
{
throw new NotSupportedException();
}
}

Nah - but I did find
if (DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Monday)
Do you think that could be it?

Nope, that's totally different 
It's an OO world.
public class SanderRossel : Lazy<Person>
{
public void DoWork()
{
throw new NotSupportedException();
}
}

Got into the office this morning, eventually, lots more queuing traffic than normal, to find that lots of things do not work.
Network has gone wrong in some way.
No email, and worst of all no internet.
Gradually things start to come back up, check that servers and systems are able to talk to each other, restart things, get others to restart things, more checking, more talking to people.
Finally it looks as though things are up when I notice a message queue filling up. A system message queue in the messaging software, not a queue it is possible to access, not a queue that should be filling up.
Google finds a Knowledge Base article explaining that if a problem goes wrong with a web service call then the service that handles these calls can get blocked. The resolution? Upgrade to a newer version of the software, known defect.
Brilliant, no mention of how to get things moving again.
Bounce the message broker over to the backup server, clears the blockage, things begin to move again, backup server runs out of memory and java dumps everywhere, losing the messages.
Bring primary broker back up, bring the backup back up.
Restart things that need to be restarted, talk to people who need to restart things.
Trawl through various logs and run some code to recreate the lost messages. There is a utility what we wrote to make this easy, unfortunately it is housed on a machine that had a hard disc failure last week and is awaiting recovery and rebuild.
Four hours later I think things are working as they should and I have a banging headache.

We had a big Church Social yesterday and to show how diverse we are, everyone was invited to wear a badge showing their nationality. When we arrived there were no UK badges left [not surprisingly] and only a few English, what I am not.
So I perused the available options and took Singapore [by birth], Ireland [from my parents] and Hungarian [I am waiting for my paper work to come through]. There were a few others with two badgers but only I managed three.

Just out of curiosity: What does one do with three badgers?

I'm failing to see how a situation which leads to a grown man wearing three badges in a public place can be seen as 'winning'.

Can't remember if I've put this on here before but I once traveled by chunnel and car to Belgium from the UK with a guy who was born in Holland, lived in the UK, had a Belgian Driving license, a Swiss passport, and a car registered in France. Or some such similar combination, I forget the exact details.
And the only problem we had crossing a border was trying to get back on the train in France when British customs asked to look in the boot of the new BMW I was driving and asked what a car battery was doing there wired up to stuff. As it was the first time I had opened the boot I looked quite surprised too, but there was a diagram next to it so I persuaded them it was supposed to be there.

From Q&A: i dont know it's a good question that i ask or not
but i learn basic c++ programming in console
but i want to prgramming and earn money and enjoy with this
but i can only write program in console and this BLACK place (shet)
in this time i'm realy confused and i dont how i should do
i dont know i should learn api functions or learn vc win32 prgramming or learn MFC
please guide me to learn
with a list step by step that i should do
in this way if i should read any book please tell me??
Made me chuckle. "The console is a black place". Maybe installing a spell checker would be a great idea?
On the spell checker topic: I know Chris wants us to be mild with non-native english speakers, but at a certain level (when the drivel becomes almost unreadable) I sometimes think that some should invest time in learning english before actually getting started with programming. Not that I demand everyone to speak a perfect english, but their conversation partner shouldn't need to decrypt the sentences...
[Edit]This wasn't clear, but the last chapter is not related to the question rather than it is a thought that came to my mind as I wrote "spell checker"[/Edit]
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.
