I am using the following function within a WndProc override:
[Code]...
Edit and Possible Solution: Based on the answer at DisconnectedContext MDA when calling WMI functions in single-threaded application I think the solution here is to call GetPortName() outside of WndProc. I will test this tonight and post my result.
I am currently working on an application for use with scanning an printing devices. I use the ManagementObjectSearcher in order to retrieve device names and Id's:For example using (Don't forget to add the reference to System.Management.dll in the framework 2.** folder if you're trying the code)
Dim searcher As New ManagementObjectSearcher("Select * from Win32_PnPEntity")
Dim PnpDevice As ManagementObject
For Each PnpDevice In searcher.Get()
[code]....
There are various classes such as:
-CIM_LogicalDevice
-Win32_PnPEntity
Allow access to various properties-- most of which are read only.
Question: Is it possible through one of these classes to reset a scanning device that is already in use or check on its current status.
-CIM_LogicalDevice("Status")--Win32_PnPEntity("Status") return the value of "OK" when the scanner is in use by another application. So that property must not be what I'm looking for.
I just want to query the device and if it is in use (from a failed attempt or human error) reset the device. The object that calls the scanner/printer is waiting for an event handler(successful scan) that sometimes does not occur and I cannot dispose of the object locking the device up as "in use."
How do I free the device? Or would the solution be to create a timer which waits for the event handler which could contain a property flag set to true if it occurs. If the event doesn't occur in a given timeframe and the flag is false dispose the object?
VS won't recognize this as a class, I get the "Type 'ManagementObjectSearcher' is not defined." error. Usually when this happens I just need to import something, in this case it's System.Management, however this doesn't do anything. I'm quite new to programming so it's probably some very simple mistake or misunderstanding.

I have some software that does the following code to try to loop through the software (MSI's) that are installed on a machine. Originally it was passing in a package name as a parameter, but I've simplified my code to make it easier to follow. It was working before, I can't figure out why it's not now. Here's an example snippet with a package that doesn't exist:
Dim
sProdQrySql As
String
[code].....
I'm using a ManagementObjectSearcher to query information about installed Sql Server instances, for example:
[Code]...
This method works great for InstanceID, Version and SKUName but now I'm trying to find the installation root as well. For SQL 2005 it appears the property name was SqlDataRoot, but has since been depreciated. Anybody know the correct property name to use to get the data directory, or even just install directory for Sql Server?
I have the following code on the code behind file for a .aspx page in a project:
Dim searcher As New ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT RemoteName FROM win32_NetworkConnection WHERE LocalName = '" & sFilePath.Substring(0, 2) & "'")
For Each managementObject As ManagementObject In searcher.[Get]()
[code]....
I am attempting to use the System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher class in VS 2005 (see below) but get a error message for both the ManagementObjectSearcher class and queryObj As ManagementObject - Type ManagementObjectfSearcher is not defined and Type ManagementObject is not defined. how do I use this class in Visual Studio 2005?
Dim searcher As New System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher( _
"rootCIMV2", _
"SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystemProduct")

I'm getting this message in my 2010 debugger suddenly for some reason:The CLR has been unable to transition from COM context 0x4c4b68 to COM context 0x4c4cd8 for 60 seconds. The thread that owns the destination context/apartment is most likely either doing a non pumping wait or processing a very long running operation without pumping Windows messages. This situation generally has a negative performance impact and may even lead to the application becoming non responsive or memory usage accumulating continually over time. To avoid this problem, all single threaded apartment (STA) threads should use pumping wait primitives (such as CoWaitForMultipleHandles) and routinely pump messages during long running operations.
It happens while I am looping through a datatable. In each iteration I do a SQL Select lookup and a a SQL Update if I don't find a matching record.

CLR detected an invalid program
View 8 RepliesThis is the message that I'm getting out of a program I'm writing.
InvalidApartmentStateChange was detected
Message: The current thread used to have an apartment state of MTA, but the application has CoUnitialized this thread and it is now STA. This may cause calls on RuntimeCallableWrappers representing some COM components to fail and may also cause COM component that are not multi-threaded to be accessed from multiple threads at the same time which can cause corruption or data loss.The current program structure is UI buttons that activate a BackGroundWorker object to do the processing and display progress in a progressBar.The only thing I seem to have added (as in I disable the code and it works fine) is code to print two reports.To sum up, I'm in the backgroundWorker thread, and I kick off an event "PrinterDoc1.Print()" which I've handled (there doesn't seem to be much flexibility on using an event for that), then later on in the backgroundWorker thread this error shows up pointing to the invocation of a delegate which updates a label on my form.
I am getting this right after I bind grid. I called the db multiple times (no more than 5.) and I bound those result to a datatable and it then throws this error. I was not getting this error yesterday when i was running this program. And there doesnt seem to be anything I have not done before.
View 1 RepliesI'm using an AutoDesk Inventor View API (dont think it matters for this question) placed on my form. I can call files and have them open without issue, only when I open assemblies (drawing files) I get this error:

I dont expect anyone to know much about the API, however I assume this is a common error.
Hi to all, i really need some help with a piece of code. Im developing an app, which receive midi TIMECODE (MTC) and shows it on a textbox. when i start the app, it runs ok, and shows the mtc on the textbox, but after a few seconds it crashes and shows an error:
"A callback was made on a garbage collected delegate of type 'MidiTesting!MidiTesting.MidiIn_Callback::Invoke'. This may cause application crashes, corruption and data loss. When passing delegates to unmanaged code, they must be kept alive by the managed application until it is guaranteed that they will never be called."

Then i downloaded C4F (Code 4 Fun) an application that's allow you to make Peer2Peer Applications using the PNRP.
So then i made a simple chat (Must say you do not need to fill in any code at all for this chat system) then i compile the source code to an *.exe file and everything seems fine at this stage.
But now the problem accours, when im am sending my chat application to my friends they got an alert about it's a virus im sending them. but when the file is on my own system it dosent say anything at all, and i have AVG Pro Edition & OutPost Firewall 2009 with lifetime license. and all my Anti Virus / Spyware Engine is up to date.
I have been writing on another forum on the internet but they just told me that my system was infected with a virus and that was the problem. s� ive completely deleted my whole system, and installed the Windows XP Professionel again.
But i i stil have the same problem? any one knows whats going on here. i cant post anycode for this cause you don't need any code for making a Chat application in C4F, Basicly it loads a C4F project in to Visual Basic Studio 2008 with no source at all.

View 3 RepliesNew one on me. RaceOnRCWCleanup was detected happens when I close my application. The complete error was:"RaceOnRCWCleanup was detected Message: An attempt has been made to free an RCW that is in use. The RCW is in use on the active thread or another thread. Attempting to free an in-use RCW can cause corruption or data loss."
I found a link for the error here[URL]...34(VS.80).aspx . That either went screaming over my head, or it is like listening to politicians, a lot of words that don't mean much.
My best guess is that I added a WMI query that runs periodically in a background thread, thinking that because it was a background thread I had nothing to worry about. I added some code to close the background thread before the application closes and so far,
