Report Viewer Serialization Exception

[Aaron]

Hi,

I'm running Windows 8.1
Visual Studio Pro 2012 Update 4
Telerik Reporting 7.2.13.1016
Telerik Controls for Silverlight version 2013.3.1016.1050

I have a ReportViewer that is throwing the following exception.


Unhandled exception at line 59, column 13 in http://localhost:22414/CityLaw.aspx

0x800a139e - JavaScript runtime error: Unhandled Error in Silverlight Application

The ReportViewer is placed in a ChildWindow.  After the Loaded event of the ChildWindow completes, the exception is thrown.  I've so far been unable to reproduce the problem in a sample project.  Any guidance on how to further troubleshoot the problem would be appreciated.


Thanks!
Aaron

Hello Aaron,

Other community member shared with us the same exception stack trace, appearing after a system blue screen. He updated us that after clearing the Silverlight Isolated Storage, the issue disappeared.

Please check also if the TRRVInvalidSessions.tmp located in the isolated storage and created by the viewer. Let us know if the file was empty at the time of the error.
