System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The operation completed successfully

Question

I am getting this exception sometimes while running my Windows Forms app for a long time:

System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The operation completed succe         


        

Answer 1

Its caused in extreme cases by not disposing images. You should make use of IDisposable when loading bitmaps to overcome this;

using(Bitmap b = Bitmap.FromFile("myfile.jpg"))
{
   //Do whatever
}

Answer 2

Found this which may help - seems to be a Graphics or Control disposal issue
