Tetris - Error "ArgumentException Unhandled, Parameter Is Not Valid?
Mar 7, 2012
I'm trying to make a Tetris game in VB 2010. I am having some problems with a function I have written that draws new squares and fills them with the colour needed. Here are the details of the error:
System.ArgumentException was unhandled
Message=Parameter is not valid.
Source=System.Drawing
StackTrace:[code].....
The line g.DrawRectangle(Pens.Black, lngX, lngY, 24, 24) is highlighted as the error. 'g' is the graphics of the form and lngX and lngY are the predetermined coordinates of the shape as long variables.I have researched this error but I couldn't understand Microsoft's explanation, and no other threads applied to my case.
In this screen I want to let the user decide which elements are on shown on a label. When I hit the update button (BDUpdate_Click; see below), it first checks whether the Barcode sample text is empty. Afterwards I want to invole the refresh of the label preview. The strange thing is that the first time it works fine, but when I alter the sample text and hit the button again, I get the Error "System.ArgumentException was unhandled. Parameter is not valid." The error points to the DrawSting function in the LabelPreview_Paint Sub
Dim BarcodeLabelUpdate As Boolean Private Sub BDUpdate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BDUpdate.Click If BDBarcodeSample.Text = "" Then MsgBox("Please enter a sample text", MsgBoxStyle.Information Or MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, ProgramTitle)
The programs runs fine for about 10 seconds but then I get this error message: ArgumentException was unhandled. Message: The parameter is incorrect. Here's my
I Was Coding A Tabbed Web Browser With A Progress Bar In Visual Basic 2010 Express Edition. I Started De-Bugging The Browser When It Pointed To This Sub: Private Sub Loading(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Windows.Forms.WebBrowserProgressChangedEventArgs)

i am developing a windowsService called MyFirstWindowsService. And also i created a setup project for my windows sercive.it installed successfully. But i am unable to start. While starting it shows error like "An unhandled Exception (System.ArgumentException) occured in myFirstWindowsService.exe"
specificaly it tells invalid path "H:". filestream.Close()
Dim data As Byte() = DirectCast(sdr.Item("Image"), Byte()) Dim ms As New System.IO.MemoryStream(CType(sdr.Item("Image"), Byte())) PictureBox2.Image = Image.FromStream(ms)
After reading many forums and trying the different examples, when I try and load my image from the database I get the "Parameter is not Valid" error.Im using VB 2010, SQL Server 2008 R2, and the data type is Image. I do not have access to the source code that is used to save the picture to the database, just access to tthe data in the db.The code I have included is the code I use to retrieve images from my db which stores the pictures as Image.
STEP1--image data is sending by a vehicle tracking unit.using a socket application i am tracing that data.the data from the vehicle tracking unit is not in a decimal format.image data coming from socket containing lot of special type of characters. so i am converting this image information to hex format using the code below.
Private Function Data_Asc_Hex(ByRef Data As String) As String On Error Resume Next 'first take each charcter using substring. 'then convert character into ascii. 'then convert ascii value into Hex Format Dim sValue As String Dim sHex As String = ""
I have an error but will explain how i set up my db:Two tables, One is called Area and the other Postal_Code.
The aim is to assign a postal code to the area.Sometimes we add postal codes and sometimes these codes change or need to be deleted.I used the wizard to create the datasets and dropped them on two forms linked to a SQL db.We can Add,Edit,Update & Delete so all is working fine there is no relationship between te tables as they dont need to be linked, I only require the PCode to me added to the Area Table, not any ID or Index etc.
One of the fileds in the Grid on the Areas form is the Postal Code, its set to a combobox that when the user is adding it gives them a selection of postal codes to select from.I get the error when loading the datagrid on the Area form: System.ArgumentException: DatagridViewComboBoxCell value is not valid This happens only when the postal codes are changed or deleted in the Postal codes table.
I know what causes the error - the dropdown on my Areas form looks for the value in the Postal Code table and does not find it beacause it has either been changed or deleted.Im doing this manually - I go into SQL and remove the postal code data from the record.Then the form loads with no errors.
Q: Is there any way when the Datagridview loads that I can tell it when the PCode does not exsist in the Postal Codes table that it should rather leave it blank and warn the user that there are errors they need to fix befor they can save.
I'm getting the following exception when I try to run up my Winforms app and haven't been able to find a solution to it:
System.ArgumentNullException was unhandled Message=Value cannot be null. Parameter name: activationContext
[code]....
I've added a handler for the "unhandled error" event in the applicationevents class but it never reaches that stage and there is no source code running that I can break into and diagnose.
The application was fine until I added a user control (nothing fancy, just a standard windows user control) and then dragged it onto a form in the app (user control and form were in the same application). The application builds and compiles without any errors or warnings but when I attempt to run it up I get the above error straight away.
Does anyone have any idea what it could be or even how I can go about investigating it? I'm a bit stumped on this one as I'm not sure how to investigate it. I removed the user control from the form and then I removed the user control from the application entirely but the error hasn't gone away. In all honesty the addition of the user control might be a red herring but the problem manifested straight after adding it.
I have made a program that lets you select an area of a picture and then crop it, I am having problems while drawing the rectangle that shows which area will be cropped, following is my code.
[CODE].............
This is declaration of all the variables that I am using.
[CODE].............
Over here I send the graphics handle of the "canvas" control (which is just a picturebox) to a higher level, so I can use it later.
[CODE].............
Over here I get the starting position for my rectangle
[CODE].............
This part is supposed to draw the rectangle, as I am moving the mouse over the Canvas control, but I get an error where the rectangle is being drawn, I originally thought that the problem might have been with the fact that as soon as I begin moving the mouse, the CropWidth and CropHeight variables are at zero, and that is causing the invalid input error. So I made it that it would not draw the rectangle until it reached a minimum size of 4 x 4 pixels but it still does not fix the error, I debugged to see if there was a problem with the values of the variables, but they all seemed fine, I even tries doing this CanvasGraphics.DrawRectangle(Pens.Red, 20, 20, 20, 20) so as to eliminate the factor of the wrong values, but still the same error.
I am trying to run my program to test it. Actually I am trying to run second form to see it that its working properly or not. But it shows me error. First time I got this error message: "Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown" & second time I got this one "An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Parameter is not valid." By the way my program has 25 forms.
have an OLE Object in my table, that may be jpg, doc, xml file.In case of jpg I'd like to show it (VS2005 Visual basic).I did next (not full code):Dim ms AsNew MemoryStream()Dimreader As OleDbDataReader = md.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.SequentialAccess )reader.Read()retval = reader.GetBytes(0, 0, outbyte, 0, bufferSize)ms.Write(outbyte, 0, retval)ms.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin)curImage = Image.FromStream(ms)----> error "Parameter is not valid."I do not see the fault
I am trying to write a small app that will read images from an database to an image list. It does the first one, but then after that i get a "Parameter is not valid." exception ... see code below.

I am working on a project that takes an xml schema and xml data files and places them into a DataTable, the 2 files are generated from a working table that i have written to disk. I wish to load these 2 files into a DataTable. Here is What i have

[code]....
this however produces the following error on line 3

get_item_list is the parameter passed into this function (tableName)
I made a program with Visual Basic Express 2008. I got this error message when I try to close my program after running it. (PS: It is a simple code that can login into Microsoft SQL Server)The error message shows the error was caused by the "system.drawing" (Parameter is not valid). Also, I have been trying the code in VBA (Excel). When I tried to close Excel after running my code, I got the same problem (Microsoft Excel has encountered a problem and need to be closed.....) and the error report shows the error was caused by "system.drawing" as well.

I've got the web browser with tabs in all working fine, but there's one bug, i can add tabs, delete em, etc.. but when i delete a tab then go to create a new tab, it gives me the error: InvalidArgument=Value of '6' is not valid for 'index'. Parameter name: index '6' is the number of tabs i had open.Here's the bit of code i use to create the tabs with the browser in it:
vbcode
Dim browse As New WebBrowser browse.Name = "b1" browse.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
I have been trying to learn vb.Net for about a year now, but with other work getting in the way, my progress forward is moving, but not as fast as I would like. So I am hung up on this issue which seems like it should be a no-brainer but it still does not make sense, and I can't find any clarification on it.
With the
With MyPen .Color = Color.FromArgb(LineColorVALs(7, SearchIndex1, SearchIndex2)) .Width = LineWeights(7, SearchIndex1, SearchIndex2) End With
The array "LineWeights()" is declared as Integer and the values of the indexes are correct. This leads to an integer value of "1" coming out of the array and into MyPen.Width.
The ".Color" line executes OK, but I get the error, "Parameter is not valid." at the ".Width" line. I have tried declaring LineWeights as Short, too, but same problem.
I have an XML file where some of the elements have periods in their names. Using the code below, I receive the error:
"System.ArgumentException: Child list for field Stock cannot be created"It successfully reads the file if the periods are removed( i.e. StockAdjustment instead of Stock.Adjustment)
Dim myXMLfile As String = "C:file.xml" Dim ds As New DataSet() Dim fsReadXml As New System.IO.FileStream(myXMLfile, System.IO.FileMode.Open) Try
[code]....
Is there a way to handle elements with periods in their names?
I get the Following Error: Cannot add or insert the item 'Cake' in more than one place. You must first remove it from its current location or clone it Parameter name: item.I am trying to copy all the items in one column of a ListView to another Listview.
I get this error from my application, but not in the development environment (VS 2008). I created an installer package and have installed it on two different XP machines with no problem. However, on a Vista system when the application runs code to generate an image I get a "Parameter is not valid" exception. I have no clue what could be causing this given the circumstances. To generate the image I am creating a bitmap with a valid size and simply creating the graphic. Since I can't repoduce the error in VS I don't have a way to troubleshoot this.
