How to solve 'Attempted to read or write protected memory......' error with programmatic approach for WebBrowser component?

Question

I have a windows application which uses a form containing WebBrowser component. I never found this error message in the navigate method of it, till OS Vista. But it only shows up for OS Windows 7.

Yes, solutions - 1) At post build - call "$(DevEnvDir)....\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat" call "$(DevEnvDir)....\VC\bin\editbin.exe" /NXCOMPAT:NO "$(TargetPath)"

2) editbin.exe /NXCOMPAT:NO YourProgram.exe

works for me, but I need a programmatic approach. If any one can help me about it. Thanks in advance... :).

Answer 1

You could p/Invoke SetProcessDEPPolicy. Note that this can be overridden by an AlwaysOn system-wide DEP policy.

Answer 2

You can add this to your postbuild events in your project.
