FIX: You experience a second chance exception when you replicate .NET Framework assemblies, and .NET Framework assemblies that have a SPACE character in the .dll file name extension do not replicate, in Application Center 2000 with SP2 (892092)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Application Center 2000 SP2

SYMPTOMS

When you replicate .NET Framework assemblies by using Microsoft Application Center 2000 with Service Pack 2 (SP2), you may experience a second chance exception in the Application Center Synchronization Service. Also, .NET Framework assemblies that have a SPACE character in the .dll file name extension will not replicate.

CAUSE

The method that is described in the Symptoms section is used to allocate buffer space for long policy strings. In certain circumstances, the method does not allocate sufficient buffer space to prevent a second chance exception from occurring.
