Question Exception of Type 'System.Windows.Forms.AxHost=InvalidActiveXStateEx ception'

[jithincanil]

Hi All,

I have created a test tool to connect to mainframe rumba screen using vb.net. I am using an activeX COM component for the mainframe display in the tool. When I am running the tool in my local machine it is working properly. I have created an exe file for it and tested it in other machine which is also running rumba same version. It was working properly with no exceptions.

But when I deployed it in another system which is having lower version of rumba it was throwing this error "Exception of Type 'System.Windows.Forms.AxHost=InvalidActiveXStateException' was thrown". But when I click the continue button to ignore the error also, It was not connecting to the mainframe screens.

Can someone tell me what is this issue about and if this issue is because of the lower version of the rumba installed, please tell me how to get rid of this error.

Because I want this to work even if the people are having lower or higher versions of rumba is installed in their machine.


Thanks in Advance


Jithin

You'll be lucky to find anyone who can do more than guess for such a specific issue but my guess would be that your ActiveX control is trying to perform an action that is not supported by that earlier version. Have you investigated what it does exactly and what versions it supports?
