What does 'An exception '{0}' occurred' mean - Error code 17234

I am running a TestStand sequence that calls another sequence in a new thread.  This new thread has many checks for notifications posted by the origination thread to perform different actions.  While debugging the main thread, specifically while debugging a .NET DLL call using the Visual Studio 2012 debugger, I get the atatched error code (17234) with no real description of the issue always at the same spot in the VS debugger.  The VS DLL being debugged has no relation to the new thread that is causing the error.  Can someone provide any insight as to what this error code means?

Hi,

 

It sounds like there's an unhandled exception being thrown in that .NET DLL. It's hard to say what the error is since there's no useful error information. If you ignore it and hit okay, does the code function as expected? I'm also attaching a similar forum post with a good suggestion and an MSDN article with more information on handling exeptions.
