My program crashes in VIX with: Access violation reading location

Hi,

My C# program that uses the VIX API keeps crashing. I'm trying to use VIX 1.2.6 to connect to ESXi 3.5.0.

The crash usually seems to happen after I kick off a job and while I'm waiting for it to complete with a call to IJob.Wait or IJob.WaitWithoutResults, or polling in a loop with a pause calling IJob.CheckCompletion.

I got the following from the debugger:

Unhandled exception at 0x068f58ba in MyProgram.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000008.

Call stack:

Also, I'm not quite sure why. Although I'm debugging my program in VS2008, when the crash occurs, I get another dialog that pops up with the crash and asks me to select a debugger. If I look through code in the debugger I originally had running, I can't find the failure or call stack. From the dialog though, if I select to start a new debugger I can get the above information.

Please, can anybody help?

Thanks very much,
