I get an annoying error message when I close my program.  It does not seem to
affect what I'm doing in my program so that's why I saying annoying.  Is
there a way to prevent the message from showing when I exit??  Here is the
message...

-----------------------------------

..NET-BroadcastEventWindow.1.0.5000.0.3:HisHandsReader.exe - Application Error

The instruction at "0x3009d524" referenced memory at "0x0000001c".  The
memory could not be "read".
Click on OK to terminate the program.

Hi,

       I would start my application from sub main and place the
application.run in a try catch block.  Hopefully that will catch the error. 
I found a few similiar questions on the internet.  The other people had were
using the axwebbrowser control on the form.  I was wondering if that applied
to you?

Try
    Application.Run(new Form1)
Catch
End try

Thanks!  Yes, the error IS related to using the webbrowser.  What search
string did you Google to find what others are saying?

This what I found at one of the links... something about a piece of
AxWebbrowser hanging around forever in memory after closing a forms
application that has axwebbrowser imbedded.  I guess the Try blocks you
suggest will help cosmetically by supressing the message but will the issue
of the memory decay be a problem.  I followed the link that this guy suggests
for the fix but I did not understand the code.  It did not apprear to be VB
..net code.

Here it is ...

Surprisingly I did find a work-around on a blog. It appears the Web Browser
control's .WindowClosing() event doesn't fire, so the Web Browser control
hangs out in memory after the Managed .NET Form is long gone. Apparently the
error is thrown when the Web Browser control attempts to contact the Managed
..NET Form which no longer exists.

Anyway, here's the workaround:

Hmmm. Hope that HTML link comes out OK. If not, here it is in copy-n-paste
plain text format:

Show quote Hide quote This is because it's written in C++ and not VB :)

All the code is telling you to do is to inherit from
SHDocVw.DWebBrowserEvents2 and implement the method WindowClosing.  So...in
other words (and not testing this code, just re-writing in VB for ya):

Public (override??) Sub WindowClosing( _
    ByVal IsChildWindow As Boolean, _
    ByRef Cancel As Boolean _
)
    MsgBox("WindowClosing")
End Sub

At the end of InitializeComponent method:

Dim pConPtCon As UCOMIConnectionPointContainer = DirectCast( _
    Me.axWebBrowser1.GetOcx(), _
    UCOMIConnectionPointContainer _
)
Dim pConPt As UCOMIConnectionPoint
Dim guid As GUID = GetType(SHDocVw.DWebBrowserEvents2).GUID

pConPtCon.FindConnectionPoint(guid, pConPt)
IEEvents e = new IEEvents()

' Make sure you declare private int dwCookie in the form class, but outside
' this method.
pConPt.Advise(e, dwCookie)

--------

Add the following lines of code to the beginning of the Forms Close handler
method.

Dim pConPtCon As UCOMIConnectionPointContainer = DirectCast( _
    Me.axWebBrowser1.GetOcx(), _
    UCOMIConnectionPointContainer _
)
Dim pConPt As UCOMIConnectionPoint
Dim guid As Guid = GetType(SHDocVw.DWebBrowserEvents2).GUID
pConPtCon.FindConnectionPoint(guid, pConPt)
pConPt.Unadvise(dwCookie)


---------

Once again, I haven't tested this, and wrote it using the code from the link
previously provided.  Take not the comment regarding dwCookie inline in the
re-written code.

HTH :)

I also saw something mentioned about trying Marshal.ReleaseComObject() but
not sure how to use that method.  Here is the mention...
----------------------
I've run it on 7 machines so far with varying configurations, with the exact
same results.  That leads me to believe it's not a configuration problem.
It looks to me like the unmanaged component is trying to send messages to
the managed code immediately after the managed code has been unloaded.
I.e., the managed code is unloading faster than the unmanaged code, and this
is the root of the problem.  I'm going to try to Marshal.ReleaseComObject()
and see if that will release the COM component a little more quickly.

Thanks,

Hi,

         If you can try to use vb 2005 it has a managed version of the
webbrowser control.  VB express is a free product.
