Unhandled Exception Causing Application Crash

[intellitechcorporation]

Hello,

I am currently using version 2011.3.1220.40 of the GridView control, and I have been receiving this exception at one of our client sites.  Unfortunately, this is something I have not been able to reproduce myself, nor am I getting adequate information about what the user is doing when it occurs.  I'm hoping this is something that someone has possibly seen before, or can identify from the stack trace.  I'm guessing it is something that is corrupt in their environment, and I have only seen this happen on two out of the ten machines they have in use, I'm hoping to be able to get more details about these specific machines soon.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

=> System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException: The invocation of the constructor on type 'Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.FrozenColumnsSplitter' that matches the specified binding constraints threw an exception. ---> System.IO.IOException: The file exists.

Hello Kyle,

The exception is related to the cursor gripper, it seems that the Cursors file cannot be read from the resources. Do you use one of our build in themes or you have made your own custom theme? Do you refer the provided from Telerik binaries or you have modified the code and use binaries you have built? Any additional information in this direction would be helpful. 

All the best,
Yordanka

Yordanka,

Thank you for the speedy reply, I apologize for not getting back to you sooner.  I am using the standard Telerik themes (Summer and Expression Dark).  I'm still not completely sure what was causing the exception, but clearing out the user's temp folder (c:\users\(username)\AppData\Local\Temp) fixed the issue.  As I said before, this was happening on only a few machines.  FYI, these machines were running Windows Vista.

[James]

I am seeing the exact same error using v2012.3 running in a terminal services session (RDP) hosted on a Windows Server 2003 machine.  The client that is remoting into the server is running Windows XP.  We have the application installed at 4 client sites in the same environment as well as approx. 10 dev machines and 6 test machines and this one is the only one having this issue.  Is there any more information available?

All of the Telerik assemblies we reference are used as provided (i.e., we don't rebuild any of them).

[Yordanka]

Hi James,

The problem should be fixed with our latest official binaries - Q1 2013. Could you give them a try and let us know in case of any problems?
 
Kind regards,
Yordanka

Hi,

I am replying on a very old post, not sure if this will be noticed, but we are probably experiencing a very similar issue : 

- Telerik controls for WPF, version 2012.2.903.40

- crash occurs when using the application in an RDP session (thin client)

- error message : "L'invocation du constructeur sur le type 'Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.FrozenColumnsSplitter' qui correspond aux contraintes de liaison spécifiées a levé une exception. (Nom de répertoire non valide.)"

Translated : "The invocation of the constructor on type 'Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.FrozenColumnsSplitter' that matches the specified binding constraints threw an exception (Invalid folder name)"

My question to Telerik : we no longer have a support contract, since development of that application stopped a few years ago. Is it possible for us to receive the earliest version of the WPF controls library which solves this specific blocking bug ? (Q1 2013?)

Thanks,

Hello Xavier,

Indeed, it seems you've come across the same issue as the one discussed in this thread.

I have forwarded your request to our sales team, so you could talk through the details directly with them.

Thanks for confirming this, Yana!

Actually we just got a message from our customer that they were able to avoid the crashes by reconfiguring the thin client OS images. Probably something related to video driver and/or hardware acceleration. Since this seems to solve the problem for them and no one else reported the issue so far we currently no longer have the need for an upgrade of the used Telerik libraries. If this would change in the future I will get in contact with the Telerik sales team.

Thanks again,

Xavier

Hi Yana,

one year later this same problem pops up again in a large thin client project. I have been trying to get a reply from the Progress Telerik sales team but my emails remain unanswered. Could you please get in touch with them ?

thanks,

Hi,

we are facing a very similar issue to the one stated in the first post in this thread:
- Crashing application on only one known customer machine (Win 7), no other machines seem to be affected
- System.IO.IOException: The file exists.

We are using Telerik UI for WPF in version 2018.2.515 with implicit styles and the Windows8 theme, all unmodified.

In our case however, it occurs when trying to set up the RadDiagram:

[...]
The invocation of the constructor on type 'Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadDiagram' that matches the specified binding constraints threw an exception.
The type initializer for 'Telerik.Windows.Diagrams.Core.DiagramCursors' threw an exception.
The file exists.

It appears to be the same bug that was fixed in Q1 2013 for the FrozenColumnSplitter of the RadGridView.

Could you verify this?

Hello Nils,

Thank you for the provided stacktrace. 

We were not able to replicate the same exception on our end. Can you try the suggestion given earlier of clearing the temp folder and let me know, if that helps?

Vladimir Stoyanov

[Nils]

Hi Vladimir,

thanks for your answer. Same as for the original poster of this thread, the issue is not reproducible on our end either. It occurs sporadically. Clearing the temp folder did help to resolve the symptom of this issue.

I just wanted to ask if you can check whether this is be the same bug that has been fixed with Q1 2013 for the RadGridView control but not yet for the RadDiagram control and if so, when you are planning to fix it.

[Vladimir Stoyanov]

Hello Nils,

I am investigating the described scenario, however I will need some more time in order to do so. I will update you on my progress in the beginning of next week.

[Vladimir Stoyanov]

Hello Nils,

I am following up to let you know that we have introduced a change in our source code regarding the described scenario. You can give it a try with the following latest internal build, which will be available in the beginning of next week. Feel free to let us know, if you have any feedback. 

On a side note, I have updated your telerik points as a thank you for bringing this to our attention.
