Probably a dumb question about eBid Lister

[ButtonJohnLuke]

Hi there,
D/L'd eBid Lister and set about getting some listings ready. All seems fine but I'm getting an error on the Export stage.

It states:
"An unhandled exeption has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will be shut down immediately.

Does not support a collection"

The "details" of the error wibble on about the JIT handler and ends up by stating
"When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the machine
rather than being handled by this dialog."

Any ideas? How do I enable JIT debugging - Win XP SP2 etc.

Thanks guys ......

Cant see your status (Gold Silver Bronze) but it only works for Gold users, could it be that?

Nah ... am set up as Gold status. However, I have now unistalled it as it appeared to be causing other problems with dll files. Never mind, I'll go back to notepad to pre-prep the text (or C&P from e*ay Turbo Lister!) and have a session later.

It's been a long time since I frequented eBid and there's been a lotta lotta changes - like shopfront and all that. I have some catching up to do.

You don't. This message is intended for developers. ('JIT' stands for 'Just In Time'.) If you, a user, see this message it means the developer screwed up and you should send a report with as much detail as you can (so someone else has a chance of repro'ing the fault) to support@ebid.

That's the short answer. The techie answer, in case you're curious, is that there are lots of situations that may cause 'exceptions', for example the developer may write some code that sometimes tries to divide by 0, or write something to the 11th character of a 5 character string. Smart developers surround pieces of their code by exception handlers (aka "try..catch.. blocks") and include code that takes appropriate action when the "catch" is entered. Other developers don't.

Developers who are /really/ smart release their source code so that other people can review it. They use the GPL licence so that others can't gain a commercial advantage by ripping off their code.

Since ebid are sensibly giving away their lister program, I have no idea why they haven't been smart enough to release the source. Ebay's TurboLister doesn't come with source -- this would be yet another opportunity to do things better and smarter than eBay, another win for eBid, building loyalty and market share.

I Have the same problem too, here is my full bit:
(this is my first time on ebid, I am Gold and sofar I have had no luck listing either from ebid lister (see below) or from the site itself ( after previewing, i cannot access the begin auction). I tried to follow the advice given for that problem elsewhere with no success. I am a bit annoyed as I use e*B too and I never had any problems like that.
I run XP Pro Sp2. p4 3.0 ghz, 1 gb ram.:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this
application or machine (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the machine
rather than being handled by this dialog.
