Tamas Do you think i may install an older version of mapserver, the 4.8.0 or other one ? I'm very annoyed regards

It is a good practice to explicitly call Dispose (or by the using directive) if a newly created object is not needed any more. However you might want to maintain the mapObj reference for a longer period and the disposing will occur during the program destruction. Getting an existing object reference (eg. as returned by GetLayerByName) does not create a new object, so calling dispose is not needed. All of the objects internally maintain a flag indicating if it should free the internal memory during the finalization. So calling Dispose in the previous case might also not cause any problems. So you may not have to take care much of these issues the existing problems may dedicated to unproper handling of this reference and considered to be fixed. However it is not so easy to locate the reason of the problem since the crash will be slipped out on a subsequent finalization or the program termination. > > How can i get CVS code ? http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/cvs/ using Tortoise CVS is fairly straightforward. > Why this code works well under windows and scratches under linux ? You may use different frameworks and CRT libraries. The problem may still exists but not manifested. Tamas
