LL20 error BAD_JOBHANDLE if DataSource is set

English Forum

I’ new to the .NET component and have some problems using LL20 in my VS2012 .NET4 project.

I have read the programmers manual and use one LL singleton instance in my report manager class (which is also a singleton).

My LL list-project print s simple list of employee base data. If I execute the following lines of code for the second time I get LL_ERR_BAD_JOBHANDLE if the DataSource-property is assigned the second time.

this.reportData = new List();
… some EmployeeData are added to the list
this.LL.DataSource = new ObjectDataProvider( this.reportData); // --> LL_ERR_BAD_JOBHANDLE
this.LL.Print( …);
this.reportData.Clear();
this.LL.Dispose();

If I create a new LL-instance every time, my report is executed successfully.
Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?
Thank you
Markus

Don’t call Dispose() after each printing for the LL-instance if this is your global singleton instance like printed in the programmers manual short examples.
Call Dispose() just once at the end of your program.

Interesting. I seem to remember that the suggestion was actually to have one global singleton and then a new instance for each print or design job. Can’t remember the reasoning behind it but that’s the way it’s implemented in our applications.
If it works - don’t change it .

It’s very easy to reproduce (like mentioned in my last reply).
I have my very poor example attached.
Steps to reproduce

  1. Copy solution
  2. Change the path to the LST-file to your machine
  3. See event-handler “BtnDesignGenericList_Click” and involve the Dispose() member (commented out actually).
  4. Run the prog and use the Button “Design” right of the Label for the Item-List for two times.

Good Luck. Markus
