Serialport Datareceived Crashes Closing Application?
Jul 8, 2011
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.

Im using VB express 2008 (compiled with .NET 3.5) to write a program that communicates with a USB device. The USB device is a communication class device and thus will emulate the usual rs232 serial port once attached to the PC. The USB device sends a fixed number of bytes and i have set the threshold received byte property to this value. I have run the program and it seems to read the USB device "correctly" but when i debug the code, i realise that the datareceived event of the serial port gets fired on the eventtype = EOF. I am using the Read function to read the bytes from the serial port and the Newline property is set to "" (but i thought that this is irrelevant if im not using ReadLine). When the datareceived event fires with EOF, the Read function blocks until one byte arrives, reads it and calls the function that processes the data. I went through the forum and realised that the EOF eventtype is no longer supported, is this true? I dont think that getting this eventtype is logical anyways in my case.

I've managed to make an application at home using a serialport emulator and connector that will read text from a file on my desktop send it to com1 and then my connector program will merge com1 with com2. In short my program works at home but when I connect it to my device it appears the data in DataReceived is a fraction of what my simulator setup at home is producing, which apparently is completely normal according to all these threads I've read here.

When I write a byte array to a device using this code, the DataReceived Event never fires.....
[Code]...
AND if the sleep is <40, the event doesn't fire. Is this necessary or am I overlooking something?

Every 5 to 10 seconds I receive 5-12 bytes of data (confirmed w/Hyperterminal). I can open the com port(btn1), read bytes(btn3) until bytes to read = 0, but then i'm stuck; the data received event doesn't seem to respond. If I close the serial port(btn2), re-open i can read more data until bytes to read = 0 then stuck again. I tried several suggestions for threads and delegate and invoke but none worked. (WIndows XP, VB 2008)

So I just spent the last 4 hours trying to find out what was wrong with my code, just to find out that there's a bug in this version or I just don't have enough knowledge of VB2010 (I'm coming from VB6, this is my first program on 2010)I removed the rest of the code just to point out the problem, here it simply tries to enable the Timer1 when you receive data in the SerialPort1
Private Sub SerialPort1_DataReceived(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) Handles SerialPort1.DataReceived
If Me.Timer1.Enabled = False Then
[code]....
After this I found that the code inside the Timer1 didn't run when the 100miliseconds passed, so I added a msgbox to see debug.
Private Sub SerialPort1_DataReceived(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) Handles SerialPort1.DataReceived
If Me.Timer1.Enabled = False Then

I have a small application (in VB.NET 2008) which gives the user the option to open a PDF document. This document is stored on a mapped network drive and is loaded in to the AxAcroPDF Control.
When closing my application I get the following message
The instruction at "0x0700609c" referenced memory at "0x00000014". The memory could not be read.
I've been google-ing this error message, but seen only a lot of problems, but no solutions.
I also tried using the WebBrowser Control, but this gives the same error.

Form1 is a mdi container. It has a bunch of forms that can load inside of it as mdi children. If I close each open form inside the form1, and then click the red X at the top right, application exits fine.If I click the red X without closing the forms inside I get: An unhandled exception of type 'System.CannotUnloadAppDomainException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
Additional information: Error while unloading appdomain. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131015) However I can break from it. How do I get the application to not show that error? What must I do to fix those inside forms or close when the red x is clicked?

I 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:
Name: Microsoft .NET Error

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.

I have a VB application in .NET Framework 2.0 and I'm using VS 2008 Professional for development. The application is running without any problem on some PCs and it's not running on one of the PCs. To make sure that nothing is wrong with the that specific PC, I tried to reproduce the issue on my machine. So I formatted my PC and reinstalled everything. After installing .NET Framework and required drivers, the ran the application i got the same error. Then I installed VS 2008 and open the project to debug my code and then I realized that the exception is being thrown on this line:
********************************

We 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
Application Name: PDFPrint.exe
Application Version: 10.10.0.18
Application Timestamp: 4d238253
[Code].....
After we continue to close the program we see a message box with run time error 216 at 00002B24 message.

I have a vb.net 2005 application that connects to an access database. I use Access Database Engine 2007 to connect to to this database.
Everything worked fine until i install MS Office 2010. After this, the application started to crash, returning the error 'application has stopped working'.
I've a Windows Seven Enterprise SP1 32bits.
When i debug the application, visual studio also crashes. I get the following error, closing an OleDbConnection: 'vshost.exe stopped working'.
I decided to run some tests. I installed my application on 2 virtual machines: a windows xp sp3 and a windows 7. When i installed ACE 2007 everything worked fine, but when i installed ACE 2010, thats when the problems began. This behavior ocurred on both machines.

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.

I have a program that reads data from a scanner via the serial port.This program works fine on Windows XP.We have a terminal server set up running Windows Server 2008.I run HyperTerminal on our test terminal, it connects and reads the scanner data fine through COM1.I run my app on that same test terminal and get nothing when I scan.My app connects to COM1 without errors and disconnects without errors.BUT, the DataRecieved event is NEVER getting fired.Neither is the ErrorReceived event.I have played with the Handshaking, with the RecievedBytesThreshhold and pretty much every setup setting I found.Set it up exactly like the settings on Hyperterminal.I have even tried starting a timer on a different thread to call ReadByte every second to try to KICK this thing into doing SOMETHING.Nothing has worked.
I have been trying to fix this for an entire day now.Added events to my class trying to see EVERYTHING that is going on. All I know is, it connects to the port and it disconnects from the port correctly but nothing happens in between.No data when I scan.No event fired at all between connecting to and disconnecting from the port.I have also downloaded other's simple serial communications applications.Nothing in .NET works.[code]

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
[code]....
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?

I was perhaps too quick to think that VB's built-in event would be be easy to use. As you can see from my previous post I am building a program which sends and receives a few bytes from serial bus. The bus is actually a usb serial adapter, there are no real serial buses in my machine.Anyway that SerialPort1.DataReceived does not fire. It is from visual studio/vb ide so syntax should work? Here is my start up code. There are many comments, because I tried various combinations.
If Not _serialPort.IsOpen Then
If Not arvo = "" Then
_serialPort.DtrEnable = False
_serialPort.Parity = Parity.None

I'm looking for a reference that can explain the concept and use of the DataReceived event and Delegates subject.The reference has to be pretty simple as I'm an "old dog attempting to learn a new trick". I'm not ignorant of things programming, but am ignorant of things dealing with serial communication in VB2005.I already have a couple of O'Rielly books ("VB2005 Cookbook", "VB2005 Desktop Reference") and I have a book that deals with serial communication from a Jan Axle-something. Neither O'Rielly books have any info, and the Axle-someting book's remotely related examples are too confusing for this slow learner.
