Application identity not set Exception

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', this occurs whenever my software see's something like

string m_AppPath = Application.UserAppDataPath;

This isn't a problem as the AppDataPath returns correctly, I'm just wondering why this happens.

The code is in the Main function of Program.cs (if that makes a difference), once out of the Program.cs file and into MainWindow.cs the code works.

My main issue is that I setup Logging prior to the application starting. Any help appreciated as searching the web doesn't really help.

I found that this problem exists only if you untick "Just My Code" under debug options.
