session.applicationname throws "parameter incorrect" when no application listed

[GoogleCodeExporter]

  Dim tsmanager As TerminalServicesManager = New TerminalServicesManager
        Using Server As ITerminalServer = tsmanager.GetRemoteServer("servername")
            Server.Open()
            For Each Session As ITerminalServicesSession In Server.GetSessions()
                Try
                    Response.Write(String.Format("{0} {1}", Session.UserName, Session.ApplicationName))
                    Response.Write("<BR>")
                Catch ex As System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception
                    If ex.Message = "The parameter is incorrect" Then
                        Continue For
                    End If

                End Try

            Next
        End Using

I would expect the property to return a null or string.empty result not an 
exception

I understand what you're saying and appreciate the desire to avoid dealing with 
Win32Exceptions. However, the general design philosophy of Cassia has been to 
filter the underlying API behavior as little as possible, except where 
necessary to provide consistent functionality across different Windows 
versions. The behavior of ITerminalServicesSession.ApplicationName is 
consistent across all versions of Windows, as far as I know, so I'm not 
planning to change the implementation of 
ITerminalServicesSession.ApplicationName. You could work around that by adding 
an extension method if you like -- maybe something like 
ITerminalServicesSession.SafeApplicationName().
