    Hello everyone, I've just installed the Windows Azure Tools 1.3. Now I'm not able to run a project that worked absolutely fine with the previous SDK. Immediately after starting my WebRole, the applications login form appears and dfloadbalancer.exe crashes.

     

    Here's the stacktrace:

     

       bei System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Shutdown(SocketShutdown how)

       bei Microsoft.ServiceHosting.Tools.DevelopmentFabric.LoadBalancer.ConnectionInfo.Release()

       bei Microsoft.ServiceHosting.Tools.DevelopmentFabric.LoadBalancer.ServerConnector.Stop()

       bei Microsoft.ServiceHosting.Tools.DevelopmentFabric.LoadBalancer.PacketForwarder.ProcessReceive(IAsyncResult result)

       bei System.Net.LazyAsyncResult.Complete(IntPtr userToken)

       bei System.Threading.ExecutionContext.runTryCode(Object userData)

       bei System.Runtime.CompilerServices.RuntimeHelpers.ExecuteCodeWithGuaranteedCleanup(TryCode code, CleanupCode backoutCode, Object userData)

       bei System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state)

       bei System.Net.ContextAwareResult.Complete(IntPtr userToken)

       bei System.Net.LazyAsyncResult.ProtectedInvokeCallback(Object result, IntPtr userToken)

       bei System.Net.Sockets.BaseOverlappedAsyncResult.CompletionPortCallback(UInt32 errorCode, UInt32 numBytes, NativeOverlapped* nativeOverlapped)

       bei System.Threading._IOCompletionCallback.PerformIOCompletionCallback(UInt32 errorCode, UInt32 numBytes, NativeOverlapped* pOVERLAP)

     

    Any idea why this happens and how to get around this problem?

     

     

    Regards,
    Daniel

    Is web.config readonly?

    If it is readn only, the project will not start... I don't remember the exact exception..

    Hope this can help.

    There're no readonly files in my project.

    Anyway, I've found the line of code that lets the dfloadbalancer.exe crash:

     

    if (authCookie == null)
{
 filterContext.HttpContext.Response.Redirect(loginUrl, true); // dfloadbalancer.exe crashes here
}

     

    The problem does not occur when the following code is executed:

     

    if (authCookie == null)
{
 filterContext.HttpContext.Response.Redirect(loginUrl); // works fine
}

    However, this is not a solution, just an ugly workaround.

    I was wrong. It was just by fluke that dfloadbalancer didn't crash in my last debug session. In a few more test runs it crashed at every redirect.

    Workaround

    1. Disable the checkbox "Launch browser for HTTP endpoint" in your WebRoles configuration
    2. Start a new debug session
    3. Browse to http://localhost:5100 (address can be found in IIS manager)
    4. Everything should work as expected

    Hi Daniel,

    I am using the Azure Emulator in the way you describe, and I am encountering the same error - dfloadbalancer.exe crashes too.

    So the workaround is not working for me

    Hi Jonas,

    I had a very similar issue (with Azure SDK 1.4 installed) to this and the cause turned out to be a malformed connection string. Also, I saw many more of these errors when we were experiencing network connectivity issues and were deveoping against an Azure database in the cloud. It may be worth reviewing any connection strings, and network connectivity of the app to ensure that all of that is ok - especially as the namespace System.Net.Sockets.Socket  is mentioned.

    Hope this helps,

    Nick
