检测到CallbackOnCollectedDelegate

Question

I keep getting this error after my code has run between 5-10 min

CallbackOnCollectedDelegate was detected Message: A callback was made on a garbage collected delegate of type 'CashRecyclerTestapp!MessageMonitor+NativeMethods+WndProc::Invoke'. This may cause application crashes, corruption and data loss. When passing delegates to unmanaged code, they must be kept alive by the managed application until it is guaranteed that they will never be called.

i'm writing a vending machine app and i have a dll that post messages i need to catch in my application

this is my code i got source code from the internet for catching the messages and its here it keeps getting the error

have tried other ways no sucess. So i really need any help even if its to catch the messages another way but im beyond fustrated and would appreciate any help

Answer 1

In RegisterWndClass , you're creating a local WNDCLASS instance - wc , the lpfnWndProc field holds a delegate which is used to call back into your code. As this is a local variable, as soon as that method completes, wc is eligible for garbage collection, as is the delegate that is being used to call back into your code.

You must ensure that the delegate you're passing as a callback is not garbage collected. This can be achieved by adding a static field to the MessageMonitor class:

private static readonly NativeMethods.WndProc StaticWndProcDelegate = WndProc;

And in RegisterWndClass where you currently have:

wc.lpfnWndProc = WndProc;

Replace it with:

wc.lpfnWndProc = StaticWndProcDelegate;
