BroadcastEventWindow error

[Michael C]

I'm writing an app that generates a ".NET-BroadcastEventWindow.1.0.5000.0.4"
application error every time I shut the app down. Other than this error
being generated when the app shuts down, the app runs normally and is fully
functional. Has anyone run into this problem, and are there any
work-arounds/fixes available?

Thanks,

Hi Michael
It might be a machine configuration problem ( properly you will get the
same error running any other .net application not only your app) try to run
your application on another machine just to make sure that it is not an
intrinsic problem to it . Try also to uninstall and re install the
framework may be that helps

Hi Mohamoss,

I'm pretty sure it's not a "machine configuration problem" and I do not get
the same error running any other .net application besides this one app, and
only when the web browser component is used. The error is reproducible with
this one application on at least 5 other machines I've tested on. I've
googled this error and found several other people who have had similar
issues. Just from what I've read from others, it looks like it occurs most
frequently when you try to use COM components in a .NET multithreaded app.
That's just based on reading up on others who have encountered the same
error though. No one seems to know how to fix it -- apart from not using
ActiveX controls.

That being said, anyone know of a native .NET HTML rendering control that
can handle CSS?

Thanks,

Are you sure your ActiveX control runs on an STA thread?

Honestly I'm not sure of that at all... It's the Microsoft WebBrowser
component, and in a single-thread app it doesn't seem to require any special
configuration. In a multithreaded environment I'm not sure what kind of
configuration it needs.
