VB Samples crash

The information in this article applies to:

• SpeechKit 2.0 for VisualBasic

Symptoms

When running the SpeechKit samples within the Visual Basic IDE, if you click the stop button without closing the sample application, you crash.

The problem does not occur outside the VB IDE as a standalone .exe.

Cause

VB is not calling application close, before terminating the thread on which the application is running. The Chant component class destuctor does not detect the active session to force OLE/COM cleanup.

If you close the sample application, this causes the correct sequence of application termination.

Status

This has been corrected in SpeechKit 2.1.1.
