COMExceptions now and then

I have a vb.net app that calls an "old" DLL that does some math (map
coordinate transformations ), declared with an old fasioned declare statement
in my code.

Sometimes, but very rarely, the call fails with a COMException.
On the last dataset it failed 33 out of a total 4011085709 (4 billion)
calls.
My code catches the exception and tries one more time. Then it usually
works.

There is no information in the exception object that can tell me more about
what's wrong, as far as I can see.
When the exception occurs, and I run the code again with exactly the same
data input, it may go just fine.

Any help / hints would be appreciated!

Hello, I have an application that requires a collection that is sorted by a double field first, and then by a long field. So, lets say I have an class that has 2 fields called time, priority. I want to put a bunch of those classes into a collection and have that collection always stay sorted by time first, then priority. The last object in the list should be the lowest time, highest priority object, etc, for easy picking.

Hi, I have 6 If Then Else statements I was supposed to write. I did so but I know that they have to be wrong because they all look the same. Could someone take a look at them and point me in the right direction about what I am not doing correctly? 1.. Write an If Then Else statement that displays the string "Pontiac" in the CarMakeLabel control if the CarTextBox control contains the string "Grand Am" (in any case).

I am having a dispute at work over endifs, and cannot find any treatise on this. So I am hoping that I can get a lot of correspondece confirming my belief. Here it is: I believe the following: (1)If a language has an "endif", then every "if" statement requires an endif, and (2) every "endif" goes with the last "if". For example,

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
