************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Can you check EventViewer for more information. Current log can be because of various reasons.

Solution 1

That is thrown because one of the arguments thrown to a method is not a valid argument.

Hard to see without your code, the error message is fairly generic otherwise.

But I suspect that you are throwing in an image that has not been recognised by the method.

Please show your code portion that is failing.

The code is not failing when its local, but its throwing this exception when on another PC , i followed it to here
this.pictureBox1.Image = global::Testing.Properties.Resources.cards1;
this.pictureBox1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point (12,155);
this.pictureBox1.Name = "pictureBox1";
this.pictureBox1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size (605,199);
this.pictureBox1.TabIndex = 4;
this.pictureBox1.TabStop = false;

private void control_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e) {
try
{
Image logo = Resources.Picture;
e.Graphics.DrawImage(logo, (Width - logo.Width)/2, (Height - logo.Height)/2);//this produces the exception
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
HandleException(ex);
}
}
