Hi All.

I am using the SecureBlackBox class for cryptography to create a new
X509 certificate.

SBX509.TElX509Certificate certUsr = new SBX509.TElX509Certificate();
certUser.LoadFromBuffer(certData);

This works fine in some areas of my code but all of a sudden, a certain
part of my code is throwing a System.ExecutionEngineException on that
line. I debugged it and went over my code line by line and this is the
exception info.

I have no idea what to do. Funny thing is that my try-catch doesn't
catch this.

Any suggestions????
Cheers.

Post this in the CLR group, it's a bug in the CLR that needs to be looked at
by someone from microsoft working with the CLR

Isnt this the CLR group? I'm getting this same exception from within the
ConnectionPool.GetConnection method.

John, I posted this very same message in a number of threads so when
Alvin replied it showed up in many locations...even this one :-)

I solved my problem by not using the SecureBlackBox dll's. In your case
however, since its more closely tied to the clr, I think you need to
inform MS about it. I believe there is a place to submit bug reports to
MS but I'm not certain where I saw it. I'm sure a google search will
reveal more. Keep us informed if you figure out your problem.

BTW. Try using Refection.Net app to go through the
ConnectionPool.GetConnection method. I found the exact location of the
error in the SecureBlackBox dll by doing just just. It was internally
calling some Runtime code that was causing the issues.
