COM+ SecureMethod attribute issue

[David]

To give some background....I'm using COM+ security in my C# classes by applying the ComponentAccessControl, and SecureMethod attributes at class level. I also use the SecurityRole attributes for any roles that I want to have access to the whole class. I then also use the SecurityRole attribute at method level to grant access to specific methods for specific roles

My issue is that I have a separate assembly sitting in the GAC that contains a number of structs. These structs are populated from my within my application and are passed up to my middle tier and are used to update my database. Now when my UI, populates a struct, and attempts to call into my C# class (hosted in COM+), and I have set the [SecureMethod] attribute (at class level), my application fails with the following exception mesage; "An internal error occurred in a remote procedure call (RPC)". But as soon as I comment out the [SecureMethod] attribute, rebuild my class & add it back into COM+, I no longer get the above error

This error only appears to happen when I call into methods that use structs. I can call into other components, and the method fires successfully...

Any ideas

Hello.
I will be taking a look at this issue.
I haven't found any other instances of this particular error so I'm going
to try and set up a reproducable sample here.
Also, do you have error handling or tracing in this component? A stack
trace would be useful if we can get one.

Thank you,

Apologies for not getting back to this thread
I envisage getting a trace within the next day or so, but as I'm embroiled in other things at present, I'll endeavour to look at posting something soon

Apologies once agai
Davi

P.S. If you prefer, we can consider this thread closed, and I'll start a new one, once I have my trace details, and I still see this SecureMethod problem.
