COM Error not being thrown

[dirc]

As you may well be aware, I am in the last stages of completing an Add-In for importing .NET assemblies.

This basically trawls through the assemblies and extracts namespaces and creates packages accordingly.

As each namespace is encountered, I test to see if the package already exists using the following code:

Code: [Select]


//C#
try
{
     testPackage = package.Packages.GetByName(packageName) as EA.Package;
}
catch (System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException cex)
{
   //Package does not exist, so create new one
   newPackage = package.Packages.AddNew(packageName, "") as EA.Package;

           newPackage.Update();      

           package.Update();
// etc.......      
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
   //Other Error Handling ....
}


I am sure this worked earlier, maybe under V3.5, but now, I keep getting a message box with the following message:

DAO.Database[3075]
Syntax error(missing operator) in query expression 'Name=myNameSpace' AND Package_ID in ()'

Does anyone have an idea as to what is happening? Am I dong something wrong? Otherwise, does anyone else have any ideas as to how to check for the pre-existence of a package?
