One of my windows application in [.net 3.5] is installed in windows 8.1, to upload images.

I open the application, and I am using a dll to browse the images present in local disk to select and upload them.

Once after browsing the selection of image is done, if I create a "New Folder" in my system, the application crashes - it gives me exception as :

a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. windows will close the program and notify...

I cross checked the event log, and here is a respective log added for the same :

Faulting application name: DesktopPhotoUploader.exe, version: 1.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x529f6471

Please let me what can be a reason for this?

Exception 0xc0000374 is STATUS_HEAP_CORRUPTION. It indicates your application manipulates the heap in an incorrect way and corrupts it. Is a bug in your code. You can analyze the dump to understand the problem. I recommend you get a copy of Advanced Windows Debugging, it has ample chapters dedicated to heap corruption. A common technique is to use GFlags, see Detecting Heap Corruption Using GFlags and Dumps.

  • Thanks..I will go with that..I am not sure which area of my code is creating this problem..and is it like creating a folder uses Head memory.. – Akon Feb 18 '14 at 08:57
  • I can reproduce the issue any time, with the test case above..Any idea on how to find the code base area causing this. – Akon Feb 18 '14 at 08:59
  • Use GFlags, as in the article linked. – Remus Rusanu Feb 18 '14 at 09:59
