Attempted to read or write protected memory
- by Interfector
I have a sample ASP.NET MVC 3 web application that is following Jonathan McCracken's Test-Drive Asp.NET MVC (great book , by the way) and I have stumbled upon a problem. Note that I'm using MVCContrib, Rhino and NUnit.
[Test]
public void ShouldSetLoggedInUserToViewBag() {
var todoController = new TodoController();
var builder = new TestControllerBuilder();
builder.InitializeController(todoController);
builder.HttpContext.User = new GenericPrincipal(new GenericIdentity("John Doe"), null);
Assert.That(todoController.Index().AssertViewRendered().ViewData["UserName"], Is.EqualTo("John Doe"));
}
The code above always throws this error:
System.AccessViolationException : Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.
The controller action code is the following:
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Index() {
ViewData.Model = Todo.ThingsToBeDone;
ViewBag.UserName = HttpContext.User.Identity.Name;
return View();
}
From what I have figured out, the app seems to crash because of the two assignements in the controller action. However, I cannot see how there are wrong!?
Can anyone help me pinpoint the solution to this problem.
Thank you.
