Application quits unexpectedly

[Andrew Teece]

HELP - My application exists.... all on its own... at the end of a function
call!!!

The code snipit below runs... the finally block runs. But when it reaches
End Sub, it exists! - And the proceedure that calls this one, has code left
to run, but it never gets to a breakpoint on the next line.
Any ideas what to look for? Is it because i am calling an external assembly?

The calling code is run on a seperate thread, that is marked as background,
but that shouldnt make a difference should it?



Private Sub CreateOutput(ByVal Packet As Packet, ByVal ChannelInstance As
ChannelInstance, Optional ByVal PacketField As PacketField = Nothing)
Dim asmOutputChannel As System.Reflection.Assembly
Dim typOutputChannel As Type
Dim objOutputChannel As iOutputChannel

Try
asmOutputChannel =
System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadFrom(CType(ChannelInstance.ChannelTemplate,
ChannelTemplate).FileName)

typOutputChannel =
asmOutputChannel.GetType(CType(ChannelInstance.ChannelTemplate,
ChannelTemplate).ProgID, True, True)

objOutputChannel = Activator.CreateInstance(typOutputChannel)

objOutputChannel.SendOutput(Packet, ChannelInstance)
Catch ex As DataAccessLayer.RecordAlreadyChanged
'Pass this error up the stack, without a parent exception
Throw ex
Catch ex As Exception
Throw New AllocationsEngineException("Unable to create output", ex)
Finally
asmOutputChannel = Nothing
typOutputChannel = Nothing
objOutputChannel = Nothing
End Try
End Sub

try adding a handler to Applicatoin.ThreadException and see if its being
thrown there.

I already have an event handler here... nothing is thrown.

Thanks for the idea though

It is a call to a .Net assembly i have written in VB.Net, so fully managed
(it only calls system.web.mail).

However, the calling code is run within a COM+ transaction. The assembly i
dynamically load does not referance EnterpriseServices in any way, and i
have since noticed that COM+ throws a 4822 error..

A condition has occurred that indicates this COM+ application is in an
unstable state or is not functioning correctly. Assertion Failure: !m_punk

The serious nature of this error has caused the process to terminate.

It could be your call is not thread safe. Is this a call to unmanaged

code?
