Why does ICorDebug::SetManagedHandler() return E_NOINTERFACE?

  • Article

 

Since I have no energy to type a long post today (sigh), I'll spare you the gory details on the cause of this error. Here are the main reasons why you would be seeing this error -

  • While expecting to debug a v2.0.xxxx managed app, you have forgotten to implement ICorDebugManagedCallback2 in your managed callback handler. The managed callback handler must implement both ICorDebugManagedCallback and ICorDebugManagedCallback2 in such cases.

class ManagedEngine : public ICorDebugManagedCallback, public ICorDebugManagedCallback2

{

}

 

  • While implementing QueryInterace(..), you probably forgot to account for ICorDebugManagedCallback2.

    

HRESULT __stdcall ManagedEngine::QueryInterface(const IID & iid, void** ppv)

{

    if (iid == IID_IUnknown)

        * ppv = static_cast<ICorDebugManagedCallback*>(this); // original implementation

    else if (iid == IID_ICorDebugManagedCallback)

        * ppv = static_cast<ICorDebugManagedCallback*>(this);

    else if (iid == IID_ICorDebugManagedCallback2)

        * ppv = static_cast<ICorDebugManagedCallback2*>(this);

    else

    {

        * ppv = NULL;

        return E_NOINTERFACE;

    }

    reinterpret_cast<IUnknown*>(*ppv)->AddRef();

    return S_OK;

}
