  Server.TransferRequest throws strange exception on VS2011 + IIS8

  May 04, 2012 03:27 PM|LINK

  I am posting the question again with the account associated with MSDN Ultimate Subscription. Hope this can draw someone's attention to provide real priority support.

  Reproducing steps:

  1. Create two web applications: http://localhost:XXXX/webapp1 and http://localhost:XXXX/webapp2 with VS2011(beta) and IIS 8(beta) or IIS 8 express(beta)

  2. Add the line below to Page_Load of default.aspx.cs of webapp1,

  Server.TransferRequest("/webapp2");

  3. Observe the exception:

  Cannot pass a GCHandle across AppDomains.
  Parameter name: handle

  Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
  
  Exception Details: System.ArgumentException: Cannot pass a GCHandle across AppDomains.
  Parameter name: handle
  
  Source Error:
  
  

  An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.

  
  Stack Trace:
  
  

  [ArgumentException: Cannot pass a GCHandle across AppDomains. Parameter name: handle] System.Runtime.InteropServices.GCHandle.InternalCheckDomain(IntPtr handle) +0 System.Runtime.InteropServices.GCHandle..ctor(IntPtr handle) +35 System.Runtime.InteropServices.GCHandle.FromIntPtr(IntPtr value) +102 System.Web.Util.GCUtil.UnrootObject(IntPtr pointer) +55 System.Web.Hosting.IIS7WorkerRequest.GetUserPrincipal() +183 [HttpException (0x80004005): Failed to execute child request.] System.Web.Hosting.IIS7WorkerRequest.GetUserPrincipal() +12429621 System.Web.Hosting.IIS7WorkerRequest.SynchronizeVariables(HttpContext context) +235 System.Web.HttpRuntime.ProcessRequestNotificationPrivate(IIS7WorkerRequest wr, HttpContext context) +647

  Notes:

  1. Server.Transfer does work.

  2. Actually, TransferRequest to any virtual path (no matter whether it exists or not) will throw this exception

  3. No matter whether the two web apps use the same application pool or not, this exception is thrown.

  4. This issue doesn't occur to VS2010 + IIS7.
