Hi All,
Sometimes my application crashes with the exception
Exception type: System.Componen tModel.Win32Exc eption
Message: Error creating window handle.
My Question to you guys are:
1. I am not able to find out the root cause of it. Can somebody help me out?
2. How can I find the total window handle count?
If I open crash dump and run the command !handle, it provides me 792 handle count. Further investigation (!DumpHeap -type System.Windows. Forms.NativeWin dow and !DumpArray -details <address>) says there is a generation 3 System.Windows. Forms.NativeWin dow class which is having 8419 HandleBuckets (System.Windows .Forms.NativeWi ndow+HandleBuck et). If I add both of them, still they are lesser than 10k limit of handles.
Can some body gives any clue? Am I missing something to find out handle count?
I am using .NET 2.0 + C# and can not provide source of my application. This error does not happen every time and seems non replicable.
Thanks in Advance.

Are you using some P/Invoke Win32 methods to create handles yourself?
I remember I once had this error, when I made an override of CreateParams property, but it only occured in Win2k; while it worked fine in Xp and Vista.
Do you have the exception's stack trace to try to see where it happens?
Thanks for the reply,
The applicaition has used unmanaged code a lot (C/C++ --> Managed C++ --> C#). however, as far as UI part is concerned, it is largely in mananged code.
The application fails inside System.Windows. Forms.dll while doing some of the most stupid tasks, like
in "System.Windows .Forms.Timer.St art"
in "Controls.Visib le = True"
I am uanble to find out exact handle count in my crash dump. Also not able to track those handles.
This is the stack trace from crash dump:

Hi,
In my application, on some given actions while debugging in Visual Studio, I
suddenly get a "System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception was unhandled"
Message="Error creating window handle." exception.
The problem is that this exception isn't raised somewhere in a method, so it
just shows up, and it causes the application to shut down.
Is there anyway how to catch this kinds of exceptions? Can I put somewhere a

Hi,
I keep getting "Error creating window handle." now and
then while running my C# application. I've tried to figure
out why, but I'm stuck.
What is the usual cause of this error ? The error occurs
during a this.PointToScreen( newPos )-call, and "this" is
referencing a instantiated Form class....
newPos is of class Point.

Hey guys,
Here is whats happening. I have a StringBuilder, a TextBox, and a
TabControl with one TabPage. On my main form, I created and displayed a
fairly big maze. While the app is solving the maze, it appends each step it
takes to the StringBuilder.
When the maze is solved, the user can click a menu item to display the
results. When the menu item is clicked, I set the TextBox Text value using
the StringBuilder's ToString()...

I'm trying to use the py-gnuplot module on windows, and have
been unable to get it to work reliably under Win2K and WinXP.
By default, it uses popen(gnuplotcmd,'w'), but in some
situations that consistently gets an "invalid operand" IOError
when write() is called on the pipe.
So I switched to subprocess. It works fine when executed
"normally" (e.g. "python progname.py"), but when bundled by
py2exe, it always does this:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
