[RESOLVED] vb.net.exe stoped working in windows 8

[IT researcher]

Hi,
We have GlobalModule.exe developed using VB .NET. It is working good in windows XP and windows7. But in windows8 'Global module has stopped working' error occurs randomly ...it is even working in windows 8 but this error occurs randomly
This happens if we access program after some break and sometimes when we are closing program (Also while refreshing).

once when we viewed the problem it listed as:
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: CLR20r3

Problem Signature 01: call register.exe
Problem Signature 02: 1.0.4744.35351
Problem Signature 03: 50dc565c
Problem Signature 04: System.Drawing
Problem Signature 05: 4.0.30319.17929
Problem Signature 06: 4ffa5c71
Problem Signature 07: 229
Problem Signature 08: 18
Problem Signature 09: System.OutOfMemoryException


OS Version: 6.2.9200.2.0.0.256.48
Locale ID: 1033

(this is not the only one)

can any one please suggest any reason/solution to this

That information mentions System.Drawing and an OutOfMemoryException. Are you doing anything with Images in the application?

I about cringed when I saw clr20r3 but then I noticed what you did. This hopefully is something relatively simple.

You said:

What else is there? Are they relatively the same error as this one?

It's Windows 8 ('nuff said!)/rewrite, update, test and debug the program in VS2012 on a W8 machine with Framework 4.5 and see what happens. It's the only real way to see why the program and W8 don't play well together. Alternatively, ditch W8 like all sensible people around the world and join the W7 Preservation Society!

thanks for the reply...i will try to do that ....at the mean time i can supply u with little more information of the problem....
i used IL DASM to find where the problem is ....
i found that it is in class System.Drawing.Graphics
FromHdcInternal(native int hdc) of version 4
in line IL_0018: ldloc.1
but how to find out what this refers in the actual program?
could huge GDI object be a reason?

Like what JMC asked, what are you drawing?
