Bizarre error with no error information.

2007-01-05 21:03:20 UTC

I am writing a C# program that uses MySQL as database and MySQL ODBC
3.51 driver.

It works fine all the way except this scenario that needs to be
addressed.

1. Get a set of records to process (this brings back a datatable in C#
and works fine. It uses a limit of 30 records each time).
2. Process the information from Step 1.
3. Check in table B if data of this exists in table B
4. Based on info from Step 3 Insert/Update data in table B (in either
case only one row will be affected)
5. Get next record in Step 2 and repeat further till all records
processed.

Doing so throws exception that I have no idea.

From Event Viewer.

First I get two COM+ errors and then my application log.

COM+ errors category - unknown and Event - 4786:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then my app logs:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR - no error information available

Second log from my app:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

at System.ComponentModel.Component.Dispose()
.... <remaining stack trace of my app 2 items>

<END OF LOGS>

What is going on? How do I resolve this?

Thanks in advance.

PS: I may cross post this in different forums (possible other forums:
MySQL, C#)
