You use Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, and you create an ActiveX control in an application. You call the AtlIPersistPropertyBag_Load function from the ATLCOM.h file. When you run the control, an "Access Violation" exception may occur. Additionally, the application crashes.
Symptoms
This problem occurs because the CComVariant::Clear function does not clear some members in the CComVariant object. When the destructor is called, the SysFreeString function is called if a basic string (BSTR) exists in the out-of-date members. Then, an invalid address is accessed, and this causes the access violation.
Note This behavior occurs in the AtlIPersistPropertyBag_Load function.
