Hi,

I wrote a C# application that works with a VC++ dll.
When I debug it, using F5, even without any breakpoints it works, but if I double click the exe file (its compiled in a debug version so I'm using the same exe), I get a NullReference exception when I get to the point where I call the C++ dll.

I checked it and its the same exe for sure.
What could be the problem???

Thanks,

Where is your DLL file located?

My dll is located in the same folder where the exe is located.

Put it into the System32 folder or in the BIN Folder.

Are you absolutely sure, that your VC++ dll contains no bugs?
I had the same problem and I found out that I have to fix something with memory management in my dll code ( don't remember what exactly it was). After that everything worked fine.

I was also confused, why my program didn't crash while debugging.

Check if dll code is bugs-free.
Hope this helps :)
