WorkItemStore.Projects returning Value does not fall within the expected range

Question

Not sure if this is the correct forum, so please direct me if it's not.

We are using TFS 2005, and I have written code that allows us to automatically create bugs when different events happen.  This code has been running exceptionally well for the last year.  All of a sudden I am getting the error message

Value does not fall within the expected range. at Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.DataStore.HandleComException

When I set a breakpoint, the Project collection has this error message.  Very strange.

Dim ProjectName As String = "My Project"
Dim tfs As New TeamFoundationServer("http://tfs001:8080/", New Net.NetworkCredential("username", "password", "domain"))
tfs.Authenticate()
Dim store As WorkItemStore = CType(tfs.GetService(GetType(Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.WorkItemStore)), Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.WorkItemStore)
Dim selectedProject As Project = Nothing
For Each st As Project In store.Projects
   If st.Name.Trim.ToLower = ProjectName.Trim.ToLower Then
      selectedProject = st
      Exit For
   End If
Next

Thanks!
Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for reporting this issue.

There is a similar known issue which occurs due to corupted cache in TFS server. Please have a try of the following actions:

1. Delete folder in TFS server C:\Users\APPPOOL IDENTITY\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation\2.0\Cache
2. Recycle app pool in TFS server
3. Delete TFS client cache: http://blogs.msdn.com/mohamedg/archive/2009/03/09/error-an-item-with-the-same-key-has-already-been-added.aspx

If these steps don't solve your problem, please copy the call stack of the code when the exception occured. Thanks.
