Visual Studio ASP.NET MVC debugger keeps quitting when I instantiate a new object

Question

I being for the last 12 hours trying to understand why this is happening.

I am working in a ASP.NET MVC (C#) application where I created an abstract class that has base information for all the future models class.

Follow it's an example of code that I have done:

namespace TestingModelBind.Models.Home
{
    public abstract class Person 
    {
        public int PersonId {get; set;}
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public string LastName { get; set; }

        private string _personValueHash;
        public string PersonValueHash
        {
            get { return //call function that get the Hash for the Person}
            set { _personValueHash= value; }
        }

        public abstract void GetPerson();

        internal abstract void SavePersonInformation();

        public void SetPerson()
        {
           if (_personValueHash!=PersonValueHash){SavePersonInformation();}
        }
    }

So I have a created an Abstract Class since the Implementation for GetPerson and SavePersonInformation depends on the Kind of individual. Here is the the code where I use the Abstract Class Person in a Worker Class

namespace TestingModelBind.Models.Home
{
    public class Worker: Person
    {
        public bool Consultant { get; set; }
        public string City { get; set; }
        public override void GetPerson()
        {
            // Code to retrieve the Worker Information Based on the PersonId
        }
        internal override void SavePersonInformation()
        {
            // Code to Persist the Worker Information
        }
    }
}

And here is the Controller where I use the Final Worker Class

public ActionResult Index(int? id)
{
    Worker dataModel = new Worker(); // This is the line where the Debugger Crash
    if (id!=null)
    {
        dataModel.PersonId = (int) id;
        dataModel.GetPerson();
    }
    return View(dataModel);
}

Now the issue is that all the time that I try to instantiate the Worker Class the Debugger in Visual Studio crash giving me as an error this message:

"The debugger cannot continue running the process. Process was terminated."

I did keep a file from the IntelliTrace and when it gets to the moment of the crash I am getting this

"No Source Available. No symbols are loaded for any call stack frame. The source code cannot be displayed. Itellitrace time context: : Function Entry:[Unknown Method]"

.

I am going crazy on this, and is holding me back since in the real project.

Any Ideas? Thank You so much.

Answer 1

When the Visual Studio debugger exits suddenly and the process in question terminates the problem is typically one of the following

• Memory corruption deep within the CLR
• Stack overflow

For your scenario I would say the Stack Overflow case is much more likely. I would set a breakpoints in the methods you omitted and re-run the scenario. If it is a stack overflow your should see your methods getting hit repeatedly and unendingly.

Answer 2

The Code that calculate the Hash for the Object. I am taking all the Properties values, creating a string and then Hashing the string (I am doing this to know if I really need to save the information or the user just browsed). The issue is that I was using Reflection for the looping on all the properties, and this will cause a problem when you do this piece of code and you are using some inheritance.
