View 11 RepliesWe have just converted a large VB6 desktop app to VB.NET 2008. First via the VB 2005 (open project), then days of fixing errors, etc. Then opened the VB 2005 in VB 2008 so now it is a 2008 solution.The more we try to test the worse it gets. It did start and crash with typical errors but now it does not even get off the ground.[code]The more we try to fix the earlier it crashes. The 1st form load does not even start (break point not stopped on but it did before and failed on AppFrameWorkOn = True where AppFramWorkOn is just a boolean in another module.Except same code works in other programs.We have written several dozen other VB.Net 2005 programs but this one just doesn't make sense.There is also no Configuration Manager in the Build menu.

We have a VB .Net windows application developed with VS 2005, framework 2.0.
The executable when run on a different machine throws the above error. It cannot be caught with the IDE due none of the developers experiencing it.
I have project which is implemented in VB.Net using VS 2008. I install build on Win 7 64 bit machine an see a splash screen after which it thorws exception saying "The type initializer '<class name>'for threw an exception". The class is NotInheritable and the method which I'm trying to access is shared. The same project works fine on win 7 32 bit machine. The build is also compiled using x86.
View 2 RepliesI am creating a medium/largish program in VB Express 2008. To keep it more simple i have created each section of the program in individual projects/solutions and then when they all work well, copy the code from each project into one Big project. Everything was fine, but when i put the global variables all together in 1 module, i get the following error:'The type initializer for 'WindowsApplication1.Module1' threw an exception.' This appears everytime a line of code is ran that reads/writes to a var in the module.

I've been writing an application, and all has been going smoothly; I tried to debug my application, after many previous debugging sessions and from nowhere, I received an error. I've not changed the module in which the error is coming from, but I can't narrow the error down either.
Here's the error: The type initializer for 'HG520b.MHProgramming' threw an exception.
This occurs any time I attempt to debug my application and linked to a function, property or enum which resides in my module.I don't know where to start looking for this error seen as it's all random...
I am having trouble deploying a dll to a Windows 7 machine. The app works fine on my Vista machine.

Is there something wrong with my connection string that I would get this exception thrown back at me from my code? I have the string saved in the code and when I try to create an SqlConnection I get the exception above thrown and below is my connection string which is actually the address to my DB file.
Connection = "Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename= C:Documents and SettingsTTTMy DocumentsBASEO.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True"
an error throws up on the line:
con.open()
it says "The type initializer for 'System.Transactions.Diagnostics.DiagnosticTrace' threw an exception."

I'm using express 2008 build the windows app. and in the app, it calls a webservice which was built by VS2003.It works fine on most PCs. however, there is one PC, it always shows this error:

however, the configuration file was generated by express 2008, and it seems there is no error.

I encountered this exception when I trying to load a certain page. It doesn't show me which line of code has problem, which makes me kind of dizzy now..What is a type initializer? What is it used for? and how can I troubleshoot this problem?
View 1 RepliesException Message happens when my splash screen shows: The type initializer for 'App_Name.GlobalThings' threw an exception GlobalThings is not a class, but just a module name (Module Globalthings). I get the error above at run time (.exe) but not during debug.Because I am brand new not only to visual studio and to visual basic, but also to programming, I have no how to figure out what is actually throwing this error since it occurs only at run time.

I have recently updated a legacy compact framework application to support Windows Mobile 6.5 but after going through my backwards compatability testing I have an issue with the WinCE 5 device.When attempting to run the application from both the EXE and the debugger I get the "An unhandled exception of type 'System.TypeLoadException' occurred in Unknown Module." exception but its not giving me any idea which dll / type it has issue with.The changes do work on the Windows Mobile 6.5 Motorola device and the Pocket PC 2003 Psion Device but not on the WinCE5 Psion device.Does anyone have any ideas how I can find out which reference is causing me the issue. I have tried removing the new references to the Symbol barcoding and imaging libraries but I am still getting the same error.OK, it looks like the .Net Compact Framework installation had corrupted some how. I flattened the device, reinstalled and everything appears to be working.

View 1 RepliesI have a large project where we have 2-3 dll projects that are converted from VB6 to VB.NET. We have fixed all the issues that caused compilation errors, and most of obvious issues in running, so now we have basically a program up and running. The exe is created from scratch in VB.NET, using a lot of functionality from the converted dll's (including GUI forms). What I wonder is when I run the program in debug mode, I get a bunch of warnings in the "Immediate Window" saying:
A first chance exception of type 'System.Exception' occurred in Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll
...and some of other type (but most of them in Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll).I was wondering if this is common in projects converted from VB6, or if it is caused by bad design in our code...
I'm trying to catch a user defined permission exception - i.e. a user does something their level of system access won't allow, permission exception is thrown. My problem is, the exception is caught and then rethrown as a genertic System.Exception.Is there any way I can deduce the original exception type, without resorting to string comparisons, like if ex.ToString.Contains("Permission denied"
View 2 RepliesWhen catching an exception in .net, you can have as many type-specific exception blocks as needed. But I usually try to have at least one "general" exception catch block. But is there a way to get the type of the "real" exception thrown that is caught by the generic exception handler, perhaps using reflection?For example, if I have
Catch ex As System.ServiceModel.FaultException(Of InvalidUser)
ProcessModuleLoadException(Me, ex)
Catch ex As System.ServiceModel.FaultException(Of SQLExceptions)

My BackgroundWorker works perfectly in my main form frmMain. But when I run the ReportProgress method in another module, I get exception "This BackgroundWorker states that it doesn't report progress. Modify WorkerReportsProgress to state that it does report progress." This IS set to report progress; this works fine when run the same way in the main module.Basically, from a module called by my BackgroundWorker, I want to show progress on my main form.How can I fix this? The only idea I have is to move the code from the module into my main form, but this seems a backward step, which would involve extra work. Am hoping there are easier ways!
Calling code in class frmMain:
Friend WithEvents BackgroundWorker As New System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker
Private Sub btnTest_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnTest.Click
' Specify that we do NOT want the background operation to allow cancellation
[code]....
Code which generates the exception in separate module Invoices:
Public Function MyTest() As Boolean
frmMain.BackgroundWorker.ReportProgress(0)
End Function
