Asp.net Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

Question

After being plagued over a year with the dredded "Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt", I have finally found a fix on it!

Background: asp.net 4.0. Windows server 2003. Using MySQL database.

I used to randomly get this issue on a few pages, and coincidently, the pages had an asp.net repeater on it. I tried all sorts of recommendations, but they simply didn't work.

I was using system.data.odbc , with an odbc driver installed for all of my asp.net pages to interact with the database. Here comes the fix... I instead downloaded MySQL.data.dll, and used this library for my db. Voila! Problem fixed.

MySQL.data.dll can be downloaded at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/#downloads - put the dll in the bin folder and simply reference the dll instead of the system.data.odbc – user984314 Oct 06 '12 at 09:56
