Random Access Violation Exception in WPF Application
- by PT1984
Hi,
I am facing weird problem while running regression tests on my WPF Application.
I am getting AccessViolationException with different stacktraces each time.
First :
Message :Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.
StackTrace : at MS.Win32.PresentationCore.UnsafeNativeMethods.MILUnknown.Release(IntPtr pIUnkown)

at System.Runtime.InteropServices.SafeHandle.Finalize()
Source :PresentationCore
Type : System.AccessViolationException.
Second :

In Application Event Log I found following entries :
Dispatcher processing has been suspended, but messages are still being processed.
Faulting application **.exe, version 1.0.0.*, stamp 4c08d288, faulting module wpfgfx_v0300.dll, version 3.0.6920.1427, stamp 488f3056, debug? 0, fault address 0x0012ec36.
My Application uses Dispatcher from another thread, to change the values of the controls , enable - disable those, change visibility etc., the thred is run multiple times in a second.
Please let me know if anybody has faced this problem?
Thanks in advance,
