Win32 Exception

Posted 20 years ago by Jake Pearson - Software Developer, Alion Science and Technology

Hi,
I was able to get a Win32Exception if I create a large number of SyntaxEditor objects. I believe I can mitigate the problem by cacheing the editors. Here is the stack trace:

That almost seems like a bug in the .NET framework. Our GetIcon method, the last method of ours that is called, is very simple. Here's the code:

string fullName = name + ".ico";
Stream stream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(fullName);
return new Icon(stream);

As you can see, there's nothing tricky going on there. Maybe this is something you could pass on to Microsoft's support to see why that might occur.

Hi,
I posted on one of Microsoft's newsgroups. I got a response, but not for the question I asked. I tried something else. I overrode the ResetReflectionImageList with the following code:

private static ImageList StaticReflectionImageList = null;
/// <summary>
/// Reset Reflection Image List
/// </summary>
public override void ResetReflectionImageList()
{
if(StaticReflectionImageList == null)
{
base.ResetReflectionImageList ();
StaticReflectionImageList = ReflectionImageList;
}
else
{
ReflectionImageList = StaticReflectionImageList;
}
}

That way I do not keep reallocating the image list. It seems to fix the problem.

thanks,
Jake

We'll implement something similar for the next maintenance release.

The latest build of this product (v24.1.1) was released 6 days ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
