[Gtk-sharp-list] Strange GdkSharp.PixbufDestroyNotifyWrapper error..

[Mauricio Henriquez]

Hi guys:

In a custom widget I use a pixbuf to update the image of the widget, I use:

internalPixbuf = new Pixbuf(buffer, Colorspace.Rgb, false, 8, 
ImageWidth, ImageHeight, ImageWidth * 3, null); //buffer of byte[]
but the app crash with:

ExcObject: System.InvalidProgramException: Invalid IL code in (wrapper 
native-to-managed) GdkSharp.PixbufDestroyNotifyWrapper:NativeCallback 
(intptr,intptr): IL_0030: call      0x00000006

has_alpha, Int32 bits_per_sample, Int32 width, Int32 height, Int32 
rowstride, Gdk.PixbufDestroyNotify destroy_fn) [0x00000]

I use GLib.ExceptionManager.UnhandledException to get that info :-S ...

The weird thing is that with exactly the same code with mono-1.2.6 work 
like a charm and now the problem show up after a update to 
mono-1.9.1-3.1...

Mike, from mono-devel mailing list tell me that this is a "know issue" 
(https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=362951), from that thread I 
read about a "problem with the image" (in my case a total crash..) and 
also talk about some patch and some fix needed in mono about the 
"MarchalAs.." for the byte[] type and the GC, but I'm really confuse if 
this is something that can be fixed (update soources from 
svn+patch+compilation don't seems to be a "easy" option) with other 
approach?
Also I try to use the PixbufLoader, but trying to build the pixbufloader 
with the (byte[], widht, height) constructor allways give me "Image with 
zero width" error..:-S, also try to use a MemoryStream to build the 
pixbufloader and the pixbuf with the same result..

there is some alternative?, is dificult to me to belive that this can't 
be handled in a diferent way, not posible to build the pixbuf beside a 
image from harddrive?, I use this custom widget with mono-1.2.6 (and the 
related version of gtk#) without any problem, and wait for a next RPM 
release for my fedora 8 is not a option for me...need to go back to 
mono-1.2.6?

any ideas?, sugestions?, prays?. black magic?, budu?

Thanks.

Mauricio

P.D: right now I'm using gtk-sharp2-100145-0.suse103.novell ..but same 
problem...
