Memory Fault Error

[=?Utf-8?B?UGV0ZXI=?=]

I am getting a memory fault exception that I've traced to a TreeView nodes
clear method. I am not using unsafe mode and am not doing anything outside
normal application programming.

treeview.Nodes.Clear();

Error - "Attempted to read/write protected memory. This is often an
indication that memory is corrupt."

When I comment the Nodes.Clear() line out, program runs fine.

Could this be a TreeView component bug?

Any comments.

Thanks

It _could_ be. But without a concise-but-complete code sample that
reliably demonstrates the problem, there's no way to know for sure.

Certainly the TreeNodeCollection.Clear() method normally works. I've used
it myself, and I'm sure that if it generally threw the exception you
describe, there'd be a lot of Google-awareness of the issue. There isn't,
so whatever's going on, it's rare.

My personal bet is that there's something funny going on somewhere else in
your program that's causing the problem. But without the aforementioned
concise-but-complete sample, no one can comment beyond that.
