SetOverlayIcon Throw An 'Invalid Cursor Handle' COMException Occasionally?
Jul 18, 2010In my VB.net Winforms application I'm using the ITaskbarList3::SetOverlayIcon interface to set status overlays on the application's taskbar button (under Windows 7). This all seems to work fine for me, with the icons being shown and removed correctly.From the form load event, one of my functions makes the callSetOverlayIcon(parentForm.Handle, IntPtr.Zero, String.Empty)(where parentForm is the form which the load event has fired for) which very occasionally (on other people's machines) throws the following exception:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x8007057A): Invalid cursor handle. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007057A)
at MyNamespace.TaskbarNotify.ITaskbarList3.SetOverlayIcon(IntPtr hwnd, IntPtr hIcon,

Catch / Handle And Then Again Throw Exception?
Jun 26, 2009I ran into an interesting dilemna today. I have a function that handles information and checks for duplicate values, then returns the next number that is not a duplicate. So, I have something like this:
Public Function GetNextNonDuplicateNumber(NumberToCheck as Long) as Long
//the non-duplicate the function will return
Dim NonDuplicate as Long
'duplicate
If CheckForDuplicate(NumberToCheck) = True Then
Throw New DuplicateException()
[Code] .....
As you can see, I want to handle the exception specifically, but I also want to throw it when I'm done because I want to alert other code outside the function. The problem is that simply throwing it exits out of the function with a null value.

Random Exceptions: System.IO.IOException: The Handle Is Invalid
Dec 27, 2011I have a relatively simple VB.NET app. It targets framework 2.0 from Visual Studio 2010. The app works fine most of the time, except that the users sometimes receive the
following exceptions. The error is completely random and somewhat rare. I haven't been able to trap it while in a development environment. It also doesn't appear to be
pointing at my code. My app continues to run if the users ignore the error. How would I trap and handle this error?
ReadProcessMemory Keeps Returning 0 - Error: INVALID WINDOW HANDLE
Dec 6, 2008I'm currently developing a little hobby project to display health information in a game on my G15 keyboard through VB.NET. When I use ReadProcessMemory via an API call, it keeps returning zero. The MSDN documentation referred me to use the Marshal.GetLastWin32Error() call to find out what is wrong and it returns 1400: INVALID WINDOW HANDLE.
I am now confused about whether the first argument of the function wants a window handle or a process id. Regardless, I have tried both with FindWindow and hardcoding the process id while the application is running (getting it from task manager). I have tried three different games, Urban Terror, Grand Theft Auto: SA and 3D pinball for windows, getting the memory addresses from an application called Cheat Engine; they all seem to fail. [Code]
Cursor.Current.Handle In XP / Vista
Jan 27, 2010i have a problem with de Cursor.Current Handle.

if Cursor.Current.Handle = 65553 Or Cursor.Current.Handle = 65555 Then
in Vista it works well.. but in XP the Handle for the same Icon is not the same..
sure, i can add the other 2 Handles.. but thats not really a proper solution.
Handle Errors Caused By Invalid User Input In A Program?
Mar 10, 2011how do I handle the errors that may appear from the user of my program. For example, I have an triangle area program in wich I ask the user of the program to insert the length of the base and height of the triangle in a textbox. But what if he inserts a letter or something else, like a sign....my program will crash...
I know that one method would be to use On Error GoTo but I don't know how. If maybe you can direct me to some link or you could explain how do I handle errors, I would be grateful. Maybe you can even show me other ways to avoid errors from the user input.
This is my small program so far:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Handles Button1.Click
Dim , Height, ARIA As Integer

Crystal Reports - PrintToPrinter "The Handle Is Invalid"
Jun 29, 2010I'm using the Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 to print reports. I have just one user that gets periodic errors saying "The handle is invalid". If she tries printing a second time, it works just fine. I've looked over her machine and it looks like it has all the same software as everyone else, and of course it never happens when I'm around. The code I'm using is: frmPrint.LogTag1.PrintToPrinter(1, True, 1, 0) ErrorToString() only returns that one line.

WMI Network, VB 2008 Gets Invalid Function/invalid Cast Type
Jul 15, 2009I'm using WMI code and VB 2008 to see NIC status. So far the queries are working, but the methods aren't. For example, I'm trying to set a network card to use DHCP, I get invalid function with this code:

MDI Parent Occasionally Not Minimizing?
Apr 6, 2011I have a MDI parent that opens another form like this:
Dim frm As New Form1
frm.ShowDialog(Me)
That form has a button that, when clicked, does this:
CreateObject("Shell.Application").ToggleDesktop()
The button operates as expected (showing the desktop) most of the time but occasionally does not minimize the MDI parent. All the other windows, including the form above get minimized every time.
Create An Occasionally Connected Application?
Mar 30, 2010I'm trying to teach myself how to create an Occasionally Connected Application. I want to create a simple app (like a survey) that will store all the data on a server but have the front end run on the users computer. The users computer may or may not be connected to a server when the data is entered (they may be collecting data in the field).
Program does 3 things:
1. Shows data from database (ie, displays survey data stored on server)
2. Saves data to database (ie, new entries or changes to old entries)
3. Has a background thread that checks for network connection
a. If no connection exists:
i. Gets data, to show, from local database
ii. Saves data to local database
b. If connections exists:
i. Sync local database with network database
ii. To read data: Gets data to show from local database which is now synced with network)
iii. To save changes/new entry: Save changes to local database then sync changes with network, then send update call to anyone else running this app on a different computer so they will get the same changes?

Infragistics UltraWinGrid Hidden Occasionally
Mar 18, 2011I have a Windows Form custom control that displays alerts on a customer record. The control uses an Infragistics 9.1 UltraWinGrid to display these alerts, which is filled from a dataset populated by a business object. Some users are having issues viewing these alerts; the grid will be completely blank, like the fields were hidden for some reason. This sample code shows how the grid is populated:
Private Sub InquiryCallbackAlertList(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As FunctionRequestEventArgs)
Try
'Code to populate the dataset mdslist
AlertsGrid.Visible = True
[Code] .....
I have not had any success finding anything out about this problem. I did add some trace logic to check the 'HiddenResolved' property on the grid rows and am waiting to find out the results of that. Is there anything else that could be causing this grid to only be hidden for some users and not for others, and also could anything else be causing this only to happen occasionally?
SQL Server Synchronization Of Occasionally Connected App?
Mar 11, 2010Beginning development with SQL Server 2008, VB - Visual Studio 2008 on an application that will deploy laptops remotely for 6 months or more. The laptops will have no network or internet connection. There is a requirement to sync DB changes via shipment of USB flash drives.
The remote app will have a subset of the home database data. Some tables need to be synced bi-directionally, some uni-directionally. When the laptop comes home, it will do one last sync, the local DB will be wiped, and it will connect to the home DB.
Being that there are some identity key columns and the remote is only a subset of the the home, I am not sure that SQL Server replication or synchronization functions can be utilized.
Should I Create SQL Server Compact DB's on the remote system when it is deployed and do a table by table compare (in code) to another compact DB created on the flash drive when a sync is needed?

.Net Win Forms App Crashes Occasionally, Seemingly Randomly?
Jun 2, 2011I am developing Windows Forms Application SRacq10 in VS2010 in VB.Net. It provides a WCF duplex service and obtains real time financial market data using COM object TWS (Trader Work Station) provided by Interactive Brokers, Inc. SRacq10 works well most of the time. Occasionally, it crashes; I have not been able to observe a pattern of circumstances when it crashes. When I try to add debug to a text file, I can never make it crash; that's not an acceptable solution in the long run. Here is the fault information when running the debug version outside of VS2010:
Event Viewer:
Faulting application name: SRacq10.exe, version: 1.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4de7a42c

What are the circumstances that cause the settings to be reset?

Mar 13, 2012I have an application written in VS2010 that targets FW2.0..It has no dependencies other than the framework.The application runs fine on the local drive.But one user tells me that he already had FW2.0 installed but had to install FW2.0 SP2 in order to get the exe to run if it was placed on a network/shared folder? Why would running from a server/shared folder make the application crash if Sp2 wasn't installed? some network/path error that was was fixed in SP2 that doesn't affect the app when running off the local C drive ?

User Validation - .add And .invoke Being Ran asynchronously And Occasionally Causing Errors?
Sep 2, 2011I have a bit of code that jumps around a few domains and adds a user to each of them. This follow is a piece of code I had to write to get around the issue of the .add and .invoke being ran asynchronously and occasionally causing errors.
It connects to the domain in question, passing a "CN" from the code in as a search filter but receives a COMException which is normally a LDAP sting config issue. The connection string in this is fine so I am not sure why it is having such a hard time.
