How to check a checkbox control properly in code in VB.NET? (VS2017 debugger crashes with my code)

Question

I am reading a few configuration values from a config file inside the Form_Load event...

I then set certain values according to the config file (basically just the last user settings stored at program shutdown)

Most of it works fine except the status of a checkbox....it causes the debugger to stall and the code afterwards is not executed anymore...

I am certainly doing something wrong. Not sure if it my have something to do that the checkbox is inside a groupbox?

See my simple code:

 If ConfigString(1) = "1" Then chkSendTX.Checked = True
 If ConfigString(1) = "0" Then chkSendTX.Checked = False

I also tried .checkedstate instead of .checked but that didn't work either. Google did not yield any examples that would work either.

So I am looking for some expert here to help me out :-) Thanks...

My crystal ball says that you are using Win7: https://stackoverflow.com/a/4934010/17034 — Hans Passant, Mar 10 '18 at 11:12
Yes I am using Win7...I will try to move the code out of the Form_Load event....it's a bit annoying. Thanks Hans — Oscar Diez, Mar 10 '18 at 12:28
