VS .net causes IE throws "member not found" error

[Ari Royce Hidayat]

Dear ALL,

Is there some one ever faces this problem? And fix it?

The scenario is:

There's an html page that hosts a .net object (using
object tag), and this page opens the second html page
that
also hosts a .net object (e.g. by click a hyperlink).

This often causes "member not found" error in second page
when the .net
object tries to access one of the html control.

The problem is gone altogether if VS .net is un-installed.

Is there someone know how to fix this error?

Tx a loooot.

The following registry setting whould allow you to see exact exception
behind general IE error message:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramewor k]
"ExposeExceptionsInCOM"=dword:00000003

Also using of the fusion log viewer (FusLogVw.exe) can be very useful to
check what assemblies are found and what are not and why.

The following key allows you to see successful binds in addition to
possible failures:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Fusion]
"ForceLog"=dword:00000001

Thanks!

Tx a lot for idea.

I've tried it, and still get not clue what causes it.

I also tried to see the log file generated by IEHost (by
adding IEHostLogFile to registry) and still get not clue
what causes. It seems normal instead that before loading
the second page (in third row from last row) there's a
text read as:

"There are no context policies."

(Does this ring any bell on you?>

This line is not exist when loading the first page. Here
is the log file generated if you're interested to see it
(sorry it's rather lenght).

The first html page I'm trying to load
is "http://localhost/bin/UdARViewer.DLL" and the second
page is "http://localhost/bin/UdBoq.DLL".

So may you have more idea? Anyway you're the best :) (
sorry for more ask, but you're the only hope after 2 years
trying to solve this problem :( )

Really really tx lot.

I'm sorry for the long delay with my answer - I was totally distracted from
reading newsgroups.

-- The problem is gone altogether if VS .net is un-installed.

This part really confuses me. I don't understand how UNinstalling VS can
fix things.

From IEHost log it looks like both controls were loaded successfully. Are
you sure you have logged the failing case (with VS)?
Because both logs look perfectly fine.

I wonder if your controls interact in some way and may be the first one
somehow disturb the second. Have you tried to load the second page directly?

If you send me Fusion log (with ForceLog=1), exception text (if any) and
IEHost log for the case when second control fails to load, I can try to
investigate further.

Another useful (although sometimes too powerful) tool is FileMon from
www.sysinternals.com It can show you the history of the file I/O (both
successful and failed) on the machine. This log can help if everything else
failed.

Thank you!
