ContextSwitchDeadlock error, index out of range and < size collect

[=?Utf-8?B?SkI=?=]

Hello

As I debug the C# code with a break point and by pressing F11 I
eventually get a message stating:

ContextSwitchDe adlock was detected
Message: The CLR has been unable to transition from COM context 0x17aeb8 to
COM context 0x17abd8 for 60 seconds. The thread that owns the destination
context/apartment is most likely either doing a non pumping wait or
processing a very long running operation without pumping Windows messages.
This situation generally has a negative performance impact and may even lead
to the application becoming non responsive or memory usage accumulating
continually over time. To avoid this problem, all single threaded apartment
(STA) threads should use pumping wait primitives (such as
CoWaitForMultip leHandles) and routinely pump messages during long running
operations.

then eventually I get the index out of range message.

If I take out the break point and I dont press F11 to debug and just select
Debug - Start Debugging then I just get the message:

Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than size of the
collection. Parameter name:index.

What do you handle these types of errors? The error does not happen in the
first half of the program where the list is created it happens in the second
half on the second on line 236 (however it is actually one dll call by a
form). I have pointed the first half and the second half of the program and
I have pointed out where line 236 is in the second half in the code so you
know what line in the code it is bombing on:

What do you handle these types of errors?

You can safely ignore the first error, assuming it only happens when you
are stepping through code in the debugger. The act of doing so
necessarily causes other threads (which are also suspended when you're
just sitting there interrupted in the debugger) to not be able to work.
Sometimes that causes the delay that sets off that warning.

As for the second error, you need to look at your code when the exception
happens and see why you are passing an index that's out of range.
Obviously, it would be invalid to pass an index to a collection that is
nothing within the range of valid indices for the elements in that
collection.

The code you posted is neither concise nor complete, so I'm not going to
spend any time trying to figure out why your "z" index winds up larger
than the maximum valid index for the "NotUsedTbl " list instance. But
suffice to say, it is and that's exactly what that exception is telling
you.
