I run the same code from two different locations in my application. I know it is the same code, because it is in a class and that class only has one publicly facing function. Both places call the function with the same arguments and both are running in the UI thread.
The function does a search for a particular printer by name using an asynchronous WMI query-->
var searcher =
new ManagementObjectSearcher(
"SELECT * from Win32_Printer WHERE Name LIKE '%ZDesigner GX430t'");
// Create an observer to trigger a callback when the search is completed.
var watcher = new ManagementOperationObserver();
watcher.Completed += PrinterSearchCompleted;
watcher.ObjectReady += PrinterSearchReady;
// Look for the printer
_printerFound = false;
_searchCompleted = false;
searcher.Get(watcher);
The problem I am having is that the ObjectReady event is not triggered when I run it from one location and when I run it from another, it get's triggered all the time.
Also, another problem is that this seems to be computer specific; some of the computers I run this on work just fine, others exhibit the problem I described above.
Any ideas what I should be looking for?
