loading 3d model in directx 11 assimp

Question

I'm newcomer in this forum. I'm trying load 3d model im my programm using assimp, but there is some errors occured. There is my code:

bool Model::LoadModel(const char* fileName)
{
Assimp::Importer imp;
const aiScene* pScene = NULL;
const aiMesh* pMesh = NULL;

pScene = imp.ReadFile(fileName, aiProcess_Triangulate);
if(!pScene)
{
    MessageBox(NULL, "Error read file", "Error", MB_OK);
    return false;
}
else
    MessageBox(NULL, "read file OK", "Error", MB_OK);

pMesh = pScene->mMeshes[0];
if(!pMesh)
{
    MessageBox(NULL, "Failed to find meshes", "Error", MB_OK);
    return false;
}

for(unsigned int i = 0; i < pMesh->mNumFaces; i++)
{
    if(pMesh->mFaces[i].mNumIndices == 3)
        numIndices_ = numIndices_ + 3;
    else
    {
        MessageBox(NULL, "Failed to parsing faces", "Error", MB_OK);
        return false;
    }
}

return true;
}

When programm starts execute line pMesh->mFaces[i].mNumIndices == 3, runtime error occurs. Debug log file tell me that is can't calculate mNumIndices. Maybe anyone can help me? I have no idea why this happens.

I've just made small console app and tested your function with different models and it works fine. Looks like the problem is somewhere else. What exactly error message says? — Ivan Aksamentov - Drop, Apr 16 '13 at 03:58
very strange! This my error: cxx0030 - The debugger's expression evaluator could not obtain a value for the expression as written. It error occurs when I'm trying to get faces from pMesh. But coordinates and normals position calculate fine. very strange. — eugene, Apr 16 '13 at 07:45
Try to test this function isolated: create a clean console app and call LoadModel() from main(). If it fails, check pMesh->HasFaces(). If it will return false, there may be a problem with your model file (try another) or a bug in Assimp if you using dev version (try another version, I tested your code with 3.0.1270). Also try put a braces where operators chaining: (pMesh->mFaces[0]).mNumIndices; — Ivan Aksamentov - Drop, Apr 16 '13 at 21:15
I did as you said, but the same errors occurs. Do you use either assimp32.dll or assimp32d.dll in your project? And what OS do you have? — eugene, Apr 18 '13 at 18:52
I'm usin static linkage ("debug" and "release" configurations in the included .vcproj). Visual Studio 2012 update2 and Windows 8. — Ivan Aksamentov - Drop, Apr 22 '13 at 17:44
I'm using static linkage, but the program require assimp32.dll. Look strange. Anyway thank you for help and sorry for you wasted time( — eugene, Apr 22 '13 at 18:12
In assimp\workspaces\vc9 I am using "debug" and "release" configs. Probably you are using "debug-dll" and "release-dll", they require a tiny static lib too. Here are my app with your function and pre-built assimp: http://www.sendspace.com/filegroup/GyXJLISlj7HIV0l2mJcL6A (huge size btw ;). You will need VS2012 ( "Express" version is free) Hope it help. — Ivan Aksamentov - Drop, Apr 22 '13 at 18:36
