Can't create row buffer

Question

Does anyone know of a reason why i'm getting the following error?

Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.

I created an inMemory table using an inMemory workspace and am trying to add rows to that table. But i get the above error when i hit the following line of code (VB.NET).

Dim rowBuffer As ESRI.ArcGIS.Geodatabase.IRowBuffer = tempTable.CreateRowBuffer

Chris,

OK I guess you need to check that your table is actually being created correctly? Try adding the table to the mxd but don't add anything to it. This will hopefully confirm that your code is creating a valid table ready to be populated with rows. I would even try to add a row manually just to make sure it's not being file locked or something.

i've tried both ways and still get the same error. I'm using an editor license so i know that isn't it. it always fails at the line where i create the rowbuffer.

Chris,

I replaced the code: Dim pRow As IRow
 Set pRow = pTable.CreateRow
 With pRow
    .Value(1) = "WOOD"
    .Store
 End With

with:

Dim pRowBuffer As IRowBuffer
 Dim pCursor As ICursor
 Set pCursor = pTable.Insert(True)
 Set pRowBuffer = pTable.CreateRowBuffer
 pRowBuffer.Value(1) = "WOOD"
 pCursor.InsertRow pRowBuffer

and this worked without a problem.
