I'm developing a .NET dll that it will be used by customer at VC environment. This dll used three DirectX 9.0c managed librarys: Microsoft.DirectX.dll, Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.dll(or Microsoft.DirectX.DirectShow.dll), Microsoft.AudioVideoPlayback.dll.

There is a problem in debuging mode. In C# env it said "LoaderLock was detected...",and in C++ env it said "User breakpoint called from code at 0x...", but it can run well in compiled version.

I searched some information in google, and they give me three choices to fix it:

  1. Go back to using VS2003 and .Net 1.1
  2. Use MDX 2.0. Note that MDX 2.0 will never actually ship as it is being transformed into the XNA framework.
  3. Disable the loader lock MDA. Debug/Exceptions (ctrl-D, E), Open the Managed Debugging Assistants tree node and uncheck Loader Lock. This setting is per solution so it will only affect this solution.

affected:All .Net 1.1 Managed DirectX assemblies when used with Visual Studio 2005 and .Net 2.0.

But for the 1st and 3rd choices, they can avoid the error alarm in C# env, but it still trigger a breakpoint in VC env.

The 2nd choice looks like can fix this problem. I find in xna framework, it only implement Microsoft.DirectX.dll' functions, and I can use a 3rd part managed wrapper DirectShow.Net instead of Microsoft.AudioVideoPlayback.dll, but I can't find any library to instead of "Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.dll(or Microsoft.DirectX.DirectShow.dll)". If I used .Net 1.1 managed direct3d.dll in my project, this problems will always be there.

How can I use Direct3D.dll or DirectShow.dll in .Net 2.0 framework !

You might want to ask about this in a C++ or .Net forum - the only way I know to prevent this is listed in the article that you quoted from my site. I've not heard of anyone having different issues in C++ - after all they are just running through the same code so I would have thought that you would also see the MDA exception.
