  Hi.
  First of all, really great tool. I have been trying it out and it works great, but every now and then we get the following exception when running the dashboard on a dedicated pc when the dashboard cycles to a different project. I am not sure if it is something to do with the TFS server or the dashboard itself.

  Hi Gareth,
  
  Thanks for the feedback.  I'm glad you like what you've seen so far.  As for the error you're seeing, we have not run into this issue before.  If you could answer these questions, that would be great.
  
  1. Does it only happen when you are switching between projects?
  2. Is there any kind of pattern you've noticed with when it happens?
  3 .For instance, does it happen only after the dashboard has been running for a while, or does it happen fairly quickly after starting the dashboard?
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Thanks,
  
  JP
