Cannot access a disposed object on Program.cs Main method

Question

I have a WinForm application with two different forms. If the first command line argument is "download", the Download form should appear. I get an ObjectDisposedException on the Application.Run(new Download(args)); line on the Main method of my program.

static class Program
{
    /// <summary>
    /// The main entry point for the application.
    /// </summary>
    [STAThread]
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Application.EnableVisualStyles();
        Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
        if (args.Length > 0)
            switch (args[0])
            {
                case "download":
                    if (args.Length == 4)
                        Application.Run(new Download(args));
                    break;
                default:
                    Application.Run(new ApsisRunner(args));
                    break;
            }
    }
}

Update: Exception stack trace

Answer 1

Are you doing something like this one in the Constructor of Download form?

The problem might be in code of Download Form. You should not close or dispose Form in the constructor.

Answer 2

The code you posted is fine, but if a object disposed exception occures anywhere inside your Download class it is thrown up the call stack until where you see it (the main method),

The cause is that you try to set your form visible after you disposed it.

You can try to break on ObjectDisposed Exceptions and find the exact line it is thrown, you can do so under Debug -> Exceptions.
