Application identity not set Exception

Question

I have just converted a project to VS2010 and I now starting to see Exceptions in my software in IntelliTrace.

One such Exception is \'Application identity is not set\',

If the problem is occuring in debugging you can first check if the debugger is attached before accessing any application settings:

If System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached then
       Me.Text = "Debug Mode"
Else 
       Me.Text = "Version " & My.Application.Deployment.CurrentVersion.ToString
End If
