Hi,
I have a simple app very similar to the carousel demo (First look), the app was working fine with 2009 Q2, but  after upgrade to 2009 Q3, the app throws the following error:

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException was unhandled
  Message="Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation."
  Source="mscorlib"

       InnerException: 

The code line 305 is just a : ContactList.Add(current);

Any clues?

Additional information:
I found a temp fix:
I have an event handler that is listening when the collection changes, every time the observable collection is changed, it is reordered, I created a class that inherits from ObservableCollection, I have used that class on Silverlight with your components and it works fine, as I mentioned, the code works fine with Q2 and WPF, my temp solution was to comment the sort code and its working now, not the way that I need, but at least is displaying data.

Hello Pedro,

We couldn't reproduce the problem. May I ask you to send us a sample project that will allow us to reproduce the exception.

Thank you for your time.

Sure, how can I send to you the sample project since I cannot open a support ticked with this account?

Edited:
I decided to post all the files as comments, you can recreate the sample project with them.

You will be able to recreate the sample project with those posts, as I mentioned, that code works fine with q2 with minor changes to the carouselItem template.

Hi Pedro,

Thank you for sharing your code. 

It turned out that the exception is caused by an incorrect behavior of the ObservableSortableCollection and WindowVM. Whever the UserList is changed it raises a CollectionChanged event which notifies all listeners like RadCarousel. Unfortunately before this event reaches RadCarousel the items of the ObservableSortableCollection are already sorted (with changed places) and as a result RadCarousel receives CollectionChanged event with wrong indices.

Probably the best approach is to use a ListCollectionView which has built-in sorting functionality. Moreover by using ListCollectionView you will not have to implement custom collections. The switch to ListCollectionView requires just a few changes.:

public class WindowVM : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    DispatcherTimer _AddUsersDispatcher;
    ObservableCollection<User> data = new ObservableCollection<User>();
  
    /// <summary>  
    /// The user list  
    /// </summary>  
    private ListCollectionView _UserList;
    public ListCollectionView UserList
    {
        get
        {
            return _UserList;
        }
        private set
        {
            this._UserList = value;
        }
    }
  
    /// <summary>  
    /// Add users async to simulate real world situation  
    /// </summary>  
    public WindowVM()
    {
        // create sorted ListCollectionView with empty data
        this.UserList = new ListCollectionView(this.data);
        this.UserList.SortDescriptions.Add(new SortDescription("FullName", System.ComponentModel.ListSortDirection.Descending));
  
        _AddUsersDispatcher = new DispatcherTimer();
        _AddUsersDispatcher.Interval = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 0, 0, 300);
        _AddUsersDispatcher.Tick += new EventHandler(_AddUsersDispatcher_Tick);
        _AddUsersDispatcher.Start();
  
    }
  
    /// <summary>  
    /// Add users  
    /// </summary>  
    void _AddUsersDispatcher_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
  
        if (this.data.Count < 30)
        {
            User u = new User() { FirstName = string.Format("John{0}", _UserList.Count), LastName = string.Format("{0}Smith", _Us
            this.data.Add(u);
        }
        else
        {
            //stop the timer  
            _AddUsersDispatcher.Stop();
        }
  
    }

Hope this helps.


All the best,
Milan

Thanks a lot, the old version of the carousel control was hiding my wrong approach of the problem.
