System.NotSupportedException - on F5 debug but not on CTRL-F5

I built an application that works 100% ok when I run it in debug mode but
with CTRL-F5.
I changed to deploy and get the System.NotSupportedException message.
I ALSO get the error when I run in debug mode with F5 (not CTRL-F5).
Here is a partial piece of code:

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlServerCe;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

namespace NJ5J_CarLog_PocketPC
{
public class formCarLog : System.Windows.Forms.Form
{
public string wrkMaximumMileageStart = "9999991.0";
public string wrkMaximumMileageEnd = "9999999.9";
public decimal maximumMileageStart = 0;
public decimal maximumMileageEnd = 0;
public formCarLog()
{
InitializeComponent();
maximumMileageStart =
System.Convert.ToDecimal(wrkMaximumMileageStart.ToString());

The last instruction above is what gives the exception. I found another
solution on this newsgroup and tried Parse() but it also gives the exception.
Is there a namespace I am omitting? The MSDN help shows that this is
supported in the .Net Compact Framework.
Thanks in advance,
Carl Perkins

More info! It has NOTHING to do with System.Convert or Parse() or anything
else.
I put a string xyz = "aaa"; before the system.convert and the string command
debugged out!
It is something esoteric not related to the actual instruction identified.
Geeeeeeeeeeez!
Has anyone encountered this?
It happens right after the InitializeComponent(); is executed.

OK, problem solved.
It appears that you can only have so many controls within a .net cf
application.
I removed a tab from a tab control and the 3 controls on that tab and now
EVERYTHING works.
What type of a limit am I hitting up against here?

How big is InitalizeComponent? If you remove some code from it does it run?

Ctacke,
THANKS for the suggestion! Here is what I did and it worked!

I went into InitializeComponent() and pulled a LOT of code out and put into
my own method that I execute right after InitializeComponent() and everything
is now working - I did not have to drop any objects!!!
Apparently there is a limit on how many object references can be made in
InitializeComponent().
Thanks,
Carl Perkins

You are hitting the non-ARM JIT which has a limit of 64K native size per
method. For other differences between the desktop and CF JIT see this:

Daniel,
I love your blog and the fantastic information you have in it!
I have bookmarked it and will reference it frequently.
Thank you for informing me of the 64k limit per method - I had no idea.
