Strange error?

I get a very strange error, when I try to run my program:

Quote:

---

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

---

Does anyone know what this means? And does anyone know how to fix this?

My program code:

request.h

Code:

---

//
// Create prototype from Request class
//
class Request
{
      public:
            Request();
            ~Request();
           
            // Main function
            bool handle_requests();
           
            // MySQL Functions
            bool connect_to_db();
           
      protected:           
            // Winamp vars
            WINAMPCOMLib::IApplicationPtr winamp;
           
            // MySQL vars
            MYSQL * mysql_conn;
            MYSQL_RES * result;
            MYSQL_ROW row;

Thanks :)

you return 1 from your main method. That indicates an error. Applications should always return 0 on successful completion.

Hmm, I changed it, but still got the error:

Basically, your program crashed. Run it through the debugger to see where the crash occurs.

A return code of 0 indicating success is the common usage, but there is nothing that says it has to be that way. You can return whatever your want from your own program if it has a specific meaning to your application.

Ok, thnx :)

I tried to debug it and I got this as a result:

A COM error..
Does anyone have a possible fix for this?

When the exception is thrown, the debugger should stop and let you see the call stack at the time of the exception. Look at the call stack, and find the function closest to the top of the stack that you wrote. Then you can poke around at the variables at that level of the call stack to see if you notice anything wrong. You can tell whether it is crashing during a call to connect_to_db or to handle_requests. I don't know what that specific error is from, but you can use the debugger to get a lot more information.
