Exception Occurred in Window Vista

Question

 

Hi,

I have a WPF application, I am able to run on my XP operation System and also My Vista 64-bits.  But, when I run my application in my Vista 32-bits I have the exception. it said "First chance exception of type System.ArgumentException occurred in Presentation.dll.  This exception came from the following call

Image.EndInit().

 

Here's part of my code:

 

public object Convert(object value, Type targetType,
            object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
        {
            // value contains the full path to the image
            string path = (string)value;

            // load the image, specify CacheOption so the file is not locked
            BitmapImage image = new BitmapImage();

            if (path != null)
            {
                image.BeginInit();

                if (parameter != null) // this is the thumbnail size parameter
                {
                    int thumbnailMaxHeight = System.Convert.ToInt32(parameter);

                    // Set the max pixel height.  This number determines
                    // how big of a thumbnail to load. The smaller the number, the
                    // quicker the load, the lower the quality.

                    image.DecodePixelHeight = thumbnailMaxHeight;
                }
                image.CacheOption = BitmapCacheOption.OnLoad;

                image.UriSource = new Uri(path);
                System.Console.WriteLine("path =" + path);
                try
                {
                    image.EndInit();
                }
                catch (InvalidOperationException ie)
                {
                    System.Console.WriteLine(ie.StackTrace);
                }
                System.Console.WriteLine("after EndInit = " + path);
            }
            return image;
        }

 

when I do the view exception detail:

 

System.ArgumentException    ["Value does not fall within the expected range"]

I don't have this problem in my XP and my Vista 64 bits. 

I am usiong .NET Framework 3.5 on all of the machine.  Wonder if something in my Vista 32-bits need to reinstall or something.

 

Please Help.

 

Thanks

Betty

 

Answer 1

Would you happen to have IE8 beta installed?  What happens if you compile the app as x86 instead of "Any CPU"?

Thank you!  Yes I have IE8 beta installed, as soon as I uninstalled IE8 my application work now.  Could you please tell me why?  My application is not using IE at all.

 

Thanks for your help.

Answer 3

Internally WPF uses some of the same APIs as IE.  You can see in your stack trace that the exception was thrown on the WinInet (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa383630(VS.85).aspx).  This API must still be a work in progress on IE8.
