I'm working on a project where we're building a .NET wrapper to IBM's MQ
Workflow C++ API.

My original intention was to wrap the Workflow API with a managed C++
assembly that in turn could be consumed by .NET clients.  I've developed a
proof of concept  app in .NET 1.1 that validated this.

However, the final deliverables need to be in .NET 2.0 so I migrated the 1.1
code to 2.0.  After the migration effort, I tried running the app and
immediately received an AccessViolationException - "Attempted to read or
write protected memory.  This is often an indication that other memory has
been corrupted".

The code that worked fine in 1.1 doesn't want to play in 2.0 - (snippet below)

//Note: username and password are managed Strings
const char * uUsername = (const
char*)(Marshal::StringToHGlobalAnsi(username)).ToPointer();

const char * uPassword = (const
char*)(Marshal::StringToHGlobalAnsi(password)).ToPointer();

rc = _service->Logon(uUsername, uPassword, FmcjService::Default );

Marshal::FreeHGlobal(System::IntPtr((void*)uUsername));

Marshal::FreeHGlobal(System::IntPtr((void*)uPassword));

The exception is thrown on when the logon is attempted.  The assembly is
being compiled using the /clr switch.

Here's the compiler command-line:

/Od /I "C:\Program Files\IBM WebSphere MQ Workflow\API" /AI
"C:\Source\TPoC\Debug" /D "WIN32" /D "_DEBUG" /D "_WINDLL" /D "_MBCS" /FD

"c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.40607\System.XML.dll"

....and the linker command-line

Has anyone else experienced similar problems in .NET 2.0?  Any help in
solving this will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
