Hi,

I have the following code and an unhandled exception.

Code:

UnitInventory inventory;
foreach (object obj in list) //debugger points to list where
exception occurs
{
inventory = (UnitInventory)obj;
Console.WriteLine(inventory);
}

Error message:

"An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException'
occurred in mscorlib.dll

Additional information: Specified IComparer threw an exception."

Any suggestion on how to get rid of the error? Thanks!

Could you post a short but complete program which demonstrates the
problem?

See http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/complete.html for details of
what I mean by that.

The lists GetEnumerator(), or the returned IEnumerator's MoveNext() or
Current, is throwing InvalidOperationException.

To make debugging easier, rewrite the loop as:

IEnumerator it = list.GetEnumerator();
while ( it.MoveNext(); ) {
object obj = it.Current;
// stuff
}

which will allow you to step through what's happening in the foreach.
