Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0000005[RESOLVED]

Help, I can't see my form in Design mode. Everything was fine till this showed up. The app still runs, but I can no longer see the form to modify it. What happened? And more Important, how do I fix it?

I get an icon, red ball with X and the message: "An error occured while loading the document. Fix the error, and then try loading the document again. The error message follows: Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0000005"

WTF does that mean?

Hi,
Please don't use sucha language ... in the future

About the question ... for which OS version is it happens? Win2003?

Also, have you called some .com objects maybe?

However, provide more info as we can help you out ... Cheers

Oops! sorry in my frustration, it just slipped out (what?).

Hmm. Operating System XP Pro, Visual Studio.NET 2003.
No com objects, just buttons, text boxes, and listboxes.

Since my last post, I tried to build a new form from scratch, but when I tried to place the SQLDataAdapter, I got the same error message popup. This morning, when I opened VS.NET and accessed my project, the new form is failing just like the first one.

Found the problem.

I had the assignment to MachineName:

[font=Courier New][color=#0000ff][color=#000000][color=#0000ff]Public[/color] [color=#0000ff]Class[/color] frmForm1
 
[/color]Public Shared MachineName As String [/color][/font][font=Courier New][color=#ff0000]=[/color][/font][font=Courier New][color=#0000ff] System.Net.Dns.GetHostName.ToUpper().TrimEnd()[/color][/font]
 
[font=Courier New][color=#0000ff]#[color=#0000ff]Region[/color] " Windows Form Designer generated code "
 
[/color][/font]

in the wrong place. When I broke it up and put the assignment inside the Load sub, my problem went away.

I'd still like an explaination of the wierd response from Visual Studio, though.

It's a bug!

Turns out this is a Microsoft bug. I spent 4 hours on the phone with them and they acknowledged it and endorsed the work around. I got my alloted credit back.
