Exception accessing FolderRights

Question

Hi,
I've created a Windows 7 application that integrates with GW7.x and higher.
The application is a C# Windows Forms application using .NET 3.5 . With any
version of GW, I am getting the attached error message and the application
crashes.
The error occurs when I access the address property of the FolderRights
object. To reproduce the error, create a personal folder and share it with a
couple of people in the GroupWise system address book. Once done, run the
code below and it will crash with the error below and the screen capture
I've attached.
The details of the crash have been included. Below the details, I have
included the sample code that produces the error. I would appreciate some
direction on this.
Thanks
Tim

Thanks Tommy.
I'm wondering if maybe this is a service issue. I am using the windows
service versions of GroupWise on an W2K server. Had this issue with the
version 7 client and now the version 8 client. Seems a little conspicuous
since neither client works. The only difference I see here is your back end.
You are using a linux server and I'm using a windows server.

Your code works fine here.
Tested with GW7.0.3 with latest HP on WinXP, as well as on Win7Ent64
with GW8.0.3 against 8.0.3 with latest official patches running on
OES2-SP2 Linux
So I suspect a client issue here
I can only suggest you reinstall the client as a start, and do know
that MA has a very nice cleaning agent :-P
