vshost32

A C# WPF application I am working on contains many calls to an unmanaged external DLL. All calls to the DLL work as expected when running the application normally (i.e. outside the Visual Studio debugger). However when debugging from within Visual Studio 2013, a call to one specific method in the DLL crashes the application: This is how I import the method: [DllImport("Client.dll", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl)] private static extern string ClientGetVersion(); ...and this is how I call the DLL method: try { version = ClientGetVersion(); } catch (Exception ex) { // Error handling

I'm using a VS 2005 app to interface against an unmanaged (Fortran) DLL. When I run the compiled executable straight from the command line, everything is fine - the DLL can be accessed, and I can work with the functions in the DLL. Unfortunately, when I launch the app from VS 2005, I get a popup stating "vshost32.exe has stopped working" and no useful debugging information. Has anyone experienced this behavior, or know why this might be occuring? I can't figure out why it would run fine when launched stand-alone, but not via vshost32. (One last note: I am using .local files to force registered
