Class Already Exists Problem

I am getting a problem with Aspose Powerpoint when I run the getThumbnail function. It is an intermitant problem. Every so often, I get a Win32Exception of “Class Already Exists”. I’m not doing anything fancy; the problem is almost definitely with AP. Below is a bit of the code. Please, if anyone can help, please do.

Thanks.

Tongue Tied
Ok… I just upgraded to the latest version and now I get a different error, but the same results.

Help, Please!

Dear Andrew,

Google suggests to reset IIS.
By the way, do you use GetThumbnail from different threads?
This function is not really thread safe but works in most cases.

Hello, thanks for the quick reply.

Yes, I saw that IIS should be restarted. I have done that myself, and it seems to alleviate the problem… for a while.

The problem is that I can’t really restart the server everytime this problem arises… I’m not using getThumbnail from different threads either… Any other ideas/solutions?

Thanks for your help,
Andrew
