Exception occuring in COM Interop

1

I have a C++ COM client and a C# COM server and I have been trying to Interop and make this small project work. I have been successful in registering the server and making basic communication work, back and forth. In one of the calls, I am getting a "write Exception", the details of which are described below.

  1. I have a C++ COM client that runs CoCreateInstance on a FunctionDiscovery object, which works fine.

  2. Then the client calls pFunctionDiscovery->GetInstanceCollection(par1, par2, par3, &pFICollection). The server creates a new FICollection object and copies it in the 4th parameter, which is pFICollection.

  3. The server then calls pFICollection->GetCount(&count). The server returns the appropriate number, which is reflected on the client.

  4. The server then makes another call to pFICollection->Item(index, pFunctionInstance). At this point, I get a INVALID_POINTER_WRITE error.

Here's the function call on the C++ client side:

IFunctionInstance* pFI;
ULONG index = 0;
hr = pFICollection->Item(index, &pFI);

if (FAILED(hr))
{
    TRACE_MESSAGE(Error,"Failed to get collection item %08x\n",hr);
    goto Exit;
}

And this is the handling on the C# server side:

[Guid("ba818ce5-b55f-443f-ad39-2fe89be6191f")]
[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)]
public class FunctionInstanceCollection : IFunctionInstanceCollection
{
    public long GetCount(ref uint containerCount)
    {
        System.Console.WriteLine("Server- GetCount() called...");
        containerCount = 1;

        return 0;
    }
    public long Item(
        uint index,
        ref IFunctionInstance o_IFunctionInstance
        )
    {
        System.Console.WriteLine("Server- Item() called");
        FunctionInstance ppFI = new FunctionInstance();
        o_IFunctionInstance = ppFI;

        GlobalClass.itemIndex = index;

        return 0;
    }
}

Please let me know if you know what could be the problem, or any pointers on how I could solve it. Thank you very much for the help.

I get the following error.
