Hi,
I have a c# class which is a wrapper around the WMF (Windows Media Format)
SDK.
One of the classes, which wraps the IWMMetadataEditor interface roughly
looks like this:
namespace WMFSDKWrapper
{
    public class MetadataEditor : IDisposable, IEnumerable
    {
          bool isDisposed = false;
          private IWMMetadataEditor editor;
          ...

        public void Flush()
        { editor.Flush(); }

        private void Dispose(bool disposing)
        {
            if (!isDisposed)
            {
                if (disposing)
                        ; // No managed resources to clear up...
                // Clear up unmanaged resources
                Flush();
            }
            isDisposed = true;
        }

        public void Dispose()
        {
            Dispose(true);
            GC.SuppressFinalize(this);
        }

        ~MetadataEditor()
        { Dispose(false); }
    }
}

Now, the wrapper (which obviously has more code) works perfectly.
I can change a WM file's metadata or query it as I wish.
I can call the Flush(), Close() or even Dispose() method directly and they
all work fine...
i.e.: If I call the Dispose() method "manually" I get:
IronPython 1.0.2281 (Beta) on .NET 2.0.50727.42

>>> import wmf
>>> m = wmf.MetadataEditor("a.wma")
>>> m[wmf.MediaMetadata.Title]
'123'
>>> m.Dispose()
>>> ^Z
(IronPythonConsole.exe exits cleanly)

The problem I'm getting is that if exit the IronPython console without
calling the object's Dispose method beforehand I get
Something like this, regardless of what I did with the COM object (i.e.,
read-only or read-write):

        Any ideas?
