I am developing in .NET CF, of course, for the PocketPC
But I'm importing a DLL created in embedded C++ using PInvoke. This DLL is for the VEO Photo Traveler camera:
Declare Function CamOpen Lib "veocamapi.dll" (ByRef hCam as IntPtr) as CAM_ERRORS
Dim hCam as IntPtr
Dim err as CAM_ERRORS
Try
err = CamOpen(hCam)
catch ......
:
The program crashes at the statement err = CamOpen(hCam), does not even get to the catch statement where I could my customized error messages.
The error it throws says:
A native exception occurred.
ExceptionCode: 0xc0000005
ExceptionAddress: 0x016d6d48
Writing: 0x20000000
Note however, that this error happens when the VEO camera is connected to the PPC. If it is not connected, the function CanOpen returns a err value of "camera is not connected", which is fine of course.
When I connect the camera to the PPC I make sure it is working correctly, then I close the application completely before trying my code.
The VEO Photo Traveler SDK also comes with a source code in embedded C++, and a compiled program that uses this DLL.
(I do not know C++, much less do not have the SDK to run this source code, but I looked at some of the .cpp files to get an idea on how the DLL functions are called).
I copied this program, a .exe file into my PPC and run it with no problems. If I delete the DLL from the PPC, then this program cannot run and tells me nicely that files are missing for it to execute (veocamapi.dll). So if I thought that it is the DLL with the problem, it is not, since this .exe program can access it with no problems. Furthermore, I can access the DLL when the camera is not connected to the PPC, it just crashes when the camera is connected. But I tested the camera when it is connecetd and it functions normally.
Your thoughts/ideas on what could be wrong, or what in general throws a native exception will be very appreciated.
