Hi,

I have created a very limited VSTO add-in (with Region for Outlook and VSTO) to be able to filter public folders post items.

ADXOlForm.ExplorerObj is used. I do not release it. I'm getting CurrentView object, but I release it as you can see in code hereafter. 


        public void ApplyViewFilter(Explorer explorer, string filter)
        {
            if (explorer == null) return;

            using (var currentView = new ComObject<View>(explorer.CurrentView))
            {
                var view = currentView.WrappedObject;
                if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(filter))
                {
                    view.Filter = filter;
                    view.Reset();
                }
                else
                {
                    view.Filter = filter;
                    view.Save();
                }
                view.Apply();
            }
        }


I provide also the code of ComObject: 


    public class ComObject<T> : IDisposable where T : class
    {
        public T WrappedObject { get; }

        public ComObject(T value)
        {
            WrappedObject = value;
        }

        public static void Release(params object[] args)
        {
            foreach (var o in args)
            {
                if (o != null && Marshal.IsComObject(o))
                {
                    Marshal.ReleaseComObject(o);
                }
            }
        }

        public void Dispose()
        {
            GC.SuppressFinalize(this);
            Release(WrappedObject);
        }

        ~ComObject()
        {
            Release(WrappedObject);
        }
    }


However, we often have the exception below that seems related to InspectorObj.
In my code, I never use ADXOlForm.InspectorObj in this add-in...

Could you provide some help to understand why I have this exception?
Do I have any opportunity to catch and log this exception?

The exeception happens when opening or trying to close an inspector window.
When trying to close it, it's fired multiple times and it's impossible to close the window.

Hello S?bastien,

Regarding the ComObject class: it allows releasing a wrapped object twice: when the class instance is disposed and when the class instance is destroyed. To make sure this never occurs you can nullify the wrapped object after releasing it; you'll also need you only release a non-null object.

As to your other issue, please send us your project (or any project reproducing the issue) to the support email address; find it in {Add-in Express installation folder}\readme.txt.

Regards from Poland (CEST),
