I get the following error as an exception once in a while

VB.NET:

************** 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.

Any idea what it means?

Nothing wrong with that document or loading it by XmlDocument.Load(String filename), testing it it loads fine. Perhaps temporary due to server down time you were not returned a document from that url.

Would a try catch fix this problem? It updates the online list every 10 seconds, so if one it doesnt update, that isnt a big deal because it will update next time.

Yes, you can Try-Catch to handle the exception.

Hello, I'm new here with this same issue regarding one of the many pieces of equipment there in our lab. The tech support for the instrument has been MIA for 3 weeks, probably b/c they don't know how to fix it, and other members of our lab want to purchase a new computer to "fix" the problem. This results in the 'novice-but-humans-should-be-smarter-than-computers' member to call BS and try to fix it. I looked at other forums and this one seemed the most advanced/best fit for our issue, so to avoid starting another thread, I was wondering if someone could please help us. I am definitely a .net novice, but I have programmed in other languages and am not afraid to get down and dirty. Thank you in advance.
