What is better? I am writing

cSkype.ActiveCalls.Count == 0

Its the best way? I having problem, because sometimes 2 people can fire the call button on website together and Count is 0 for both, but when get PlaceCall, just one can make the call, and another get a error.

Another question, when i can Finish a call? Sometimes throw a exception when a try to finish:

if (cl != null && cl.Status != TCallStatus.clsFinished && cl.Status != TCallStatus.clsCancelled)
cl.Finish();

Please read me last message about this.

What do the Exception.Message and Exception.Source contain?

CODE

try
{
if (cl != null && cl.Status != TCallStatus.clsFinished && cl.Status != TCallStatus.clsCancelled)
cl.Finish();

}
catch( Exception e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Exception Source: " + e.Source + " - Exception Message: " + e.Message);
}

I would do

CODE

if (cSkype.ActiveCalls.Count == 0)
{
PlaceCall......
}
else
{
queue call
}

Problem 1-) ex.Message: " CALL: Action failed"
ex.Source: "Skype4COM.Skype.1"

When call finish, but Status is Failed per example

Problem 2-) The problem with this is that when 2 people click together, and "cSkype.ActiveCalls.Count == 0" is processed together, placeCall will call twice. But i resolve this using lock

Without looking at the code it could be many things.

The call could be NOT in progress, so you can't finish a call that has ended already or other things, you need to set a breakpoint and look at the call structure when this happens.
