We are running a .Net 2.0 application on a Windows 2003 server machine with service pack 1. But the application crashes frequently (say once every 15 min), and following message is logged in event viewer - "Faulting application , faulting module mscorwks.dll" we hv also tried to install the patch from the following link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913384[^] But the problem persists.. Any help on this issue will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance

hi all, following is a structure that i hv define [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, Size = 16)] public struct MESSAGE_INFO { public UInt16 _MessageCode; public UInt16 _ChannelNo; [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst=6)] public UInt16[] _Parameter; } Now when i declare pointer to this structure, It throws the error "Cannot take the address or size of a variable of a managed type" MESSAGE_INFO* ptrMsgInfo But if i declare "public UInt16[] _Parameter" as only "public UInt16 _Parameter" then it compiles perfectly. Any light on this would be highly appreciated... Thanx in advance
