I have created a program in Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition, and it runs fine on my computer, but on client computers (which do have the .NET |Framework installed), it crashes. I have ran Win dbg, and it says the program encountered a break instruction exception. I have googled a lot, but can't make the program work on client computers.
View 6 RepliesI am writing a system that utilizes the Timer to execute a command after an interval of three seconds. The command is to send a trigger to my RFID reader and hence the program will then decode the received data and changed it to information. It runs fine for the first few hours, but it will crash after that and the error given is an "System.NullReferenceExeption - Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error. Initially, i thought that it might be something that relates to my comobobox selected index change event that might be causing the crashes, but yet the application is crashes after i removed the section.
I fail to find the reason of the crash, even after spend fewing days finding the memory leak or some other events that might cause the crash.
I have insert TRY CATCH METHOD, just to catch the exeption error message that might cause by one of the codes, but still it doesnt show me.
I recently finished an application which I spent a long time making, but when I sent it to my friends so they could beta test, everyone single one of them said it stopped responding on start up. I took the .exe out of the project>bin>debug>application.exe and thats what I gave them, and it doesn't crash for me, so i was wondering what might be causing it to crash, or if they would need extra files for it to work properly?
Also, when my friend opened it, he says he got an error that says:

View 4 RepliesWe have an application that works well on XP/Pro, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 2003 Server, Windows 2008 Server (32 bit) but is problematic on Windows 2008 Server (64 bit). The application uses an unsigned activeX control which may or may not be related to the problem. To install we need to add the program name and regsvr32 as DEP exceptions. Once that is done the application installs correctly and operates normally except when the application closes.
If a user clicks the 'exit' button our code basically says 'unload me' (where me = the main form of the application) and there is no code in the form_unload section of the program.
Everything works well on every Windows platform except Win 2008 64 bit where we get
APPCRASH

I have an application with serial port datareceived event. My instrument sends me aprox.00bytes every 1 second. Which I then process and update few textboxes on the main formRecently my application started crashing if I press close button.I am guessing form_closing closes serialport at the same time datareceived event triggers in which the sp1.bytestoread causes the crash.1. I added synclock in datareceived and in form_closing.Within synclock in form_closing I removed datareceived handler.

We have a rather large VB.NET accounting application that crashes occasionally for some customers. I have now been able to reproduce this particular almost 100% in my test nvironment using certain data. The crash happens when clicking a list box after printing a report. The form involved has a list box listing available reports. You select one or more reports from the list box and click the print button. After printing, if you click the list box again, the program crashes, with an exception that does not seem like one VB.NET should even be able to produce.The exception message is: "Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt."The call stack is:
1. System.Windows.Forms.UnsafeNativeMethods.CallWindowProc(IntPtr wndProc, IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam)
2. System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.DefWndProc(Message& m) [IL offset: 0x3e]

I am having an issue with an ASP.Net page I am writing and struggling to diagnose why this page is failing.
I am trying to do this:
Dim st As New StringWriter()
Dim strURL As String = "CourseProgramme.aspx?id=3733"
Context.Server.Execute(strURL, st)
txtNotes.Text = st.ToString()
The aim here is to get the HTML back for the page that has been specified in strURL and then display it in a textbox. However when I run this code it crashes the ApplicationPool in IIS and when I look in event viewer I see this error message:
A process serving application pool 'blueprintdev' suffered a fatal communication error with the Windows Process Activation Service. The process id was '5284'. The data field contains the error number.The strange thing here is that in another page I do this code which works fine:
Dim strDutyStartDate As Date
strDutyStartDate = TextboxDutyStartDate.Text
Dim st As New StringWriter()
[code]....
As far as I can see other than the URL I am passing, which does exist, I cannot see a difference between the two.The page I am developing is in ASP.Net with .Net 4.0 however in the website there are some classic ASP pages. IIS is running at version 7.5.7600.16385 on Windows Server 2008 R2 64Bit.So far I have tried setting the application pool to run in 32bit mode but that causes errors in other areas and the site will not load.
There is a very strange problem with a Windows Service I am working on that I would like to understand why it occurs. The service loops every 5 minutes and then within that loop it loops through keys containing webservice URLs that are numbered such as:
<add key="URL.1" value="http://dummy1.com/Service.asmx"/>
<add key="URL.2" value="http://dummy2.com/Service.asmx"/>
<add key="URL.3" value="http://dummy3.com/Service.asmx"/>
The code that does this check is:
If String.IsNullOrEmpty(AppSettings("OM." & intCount & ".Name").ToString) Then
When it hits a key that doesn't exist an exception is thrown and the service stops and waits for 5 minutes until the next loop.This usually works great but every week or two the Windows service will crash on that line without any Exception. The application log has a line from before that line but nothing after, none of the Try Catches are hit (the main one is catching the base "Exception" class).In the Event Log for Windows is the following:
Faulting application name: MyService.exe, version: 1.1.2.0, time stamp: 0x4fa22a24
Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 6.1.7601.17651, time stamp: 0x4e211319
Exception code: 0xe053534f

The weird part is that this line of code is executing fine 300 times a day for at least a week which is around 2000 times before that one time it causes a full crash of the application. why this is occurring? I have changed that line of code to not rely on Exceptions and it has been working fine for a week now with no crash so could be something to do with too many Exceptions - maybe causing a stack overflow?
the error code points to a Stack-Overflow I can not pin the offending code down because the software works faultlessly on some computers after deployment but on others the crash occurs when a Gantt chart gets redrawn after changing activity dates. All the computers are situated on the same LAN and connect to the same SQL server 2008 database.The application has been developed with Visual Studio 2008.
I used the same install disk on all the computers and they are all using the same date/time format. The crashes occur on both 32 - and 64 bit machines.

I'm developing an application in vb.net. You drag any type of file onto the exe, and a window pops up with some options for the file, then it saves the file to a different location, works some SQL magic, etc. It works great for the most part. The only issue I've found is that if the path of the file contains any spaces, the application will crash immediately with the error window:[URl]..I'm using: Private filename as String = Command$ This is located right inside my form's class declaration, not within a sub/function.Without this line, my program runs fine (although useless, without accessing the file).I've also tried (I think this was it, I don't have the code with me at the moment): Private filename as String = Environment.CommandLine So, in vb.net, is there a way to drag a file onto an exe and use that path name, even if there are spaces in the path name?

View 2 RepliesI have wrote an Application for a organisation and they had let the app run in their lan using Samba, it worked perfect. Now they want to work over the internet.The Problem is that I have written this app with Sqlite, that means its currently working so:They have a exe and the sqlite dll and the sqlite database on their samba server and they connected a network drive on their windows pc to run it. So that means every pc is writing over samba to the sqlite database.
I tried it over the internet, but like i thought sqlite is a local database and its very slow, even if the ping is under 50ms. I could create a tcp server, that handles all and writes all to the sqlite database, but I have already written around 20.000 code lines for the project, so that would be not the best option for the lazy me. I have used only one sqlite class in my client for querieng, so I thought that it could work without much work, if i would replace the sqlite database adapter with the mysql database adapter, since sqlite has nearly the same syntax then mysql.
I've basically made a basic tcp server/client application. The thing is that I'm behind a router and so will be the other people that use my clients. I've had to use port-forwarding or the software "rinetd"to run quite a few applications online.
Let me explain: I'm on a lan network that connects to the internet. Whenever I want to host a server - for instance a basic ftp or http server. If I give my external IP to anyone, they won't be able to access my server. Even if I portforward, it doesnt work. I have to use rinetd here. For other applications, portforwarding works. I'm not sure how these things work at all.
Anyway, my issue now is that I have created this server/client application. I'm having serious doubts that if I run the server, I'll have to either a) portforward or use rinetd to get people to connect to my server. IF I need to portforward, that's fine. However, using rinetd would really suck... My 2nd concern is as follows: IF the person running the client is in a similar situation as me (i.e he's on a lan that has a router which connects to the net), will he have to portforward or use rinetd as well? If he portforwards that's fine. But I don't think I could get people to use rinetd.... Also, if there are more than 1 person on a lan trying to connect to my server, there is a big problem when they try to portforward: they will only be able to allocate one of their internal ip to that port, and the others won't be able to connect, right? How does this work? I mean, I use many softwares like msn/skype/(some games)/firefox that do not need portforwarding/rinetd. Yet they work. My housemates(other people on the lan) use the same softwares, and it works fine. There's no clash/probs watsoever How come these run fine?
Anyway, back to my issues. Given I have no knowledge about how the above work, I was wondering whether there was a way to host a vb .net server application on an external website (external to my house) so that I might *avoid* the above mentioned problems, and to what extent that would be a sound solution.
