    Hi All,

    I’ve updated the C1TrueDBGrid from version 4.0.20171.248 to version 4.0.20172.271. Since then some of our users have been getting unhandled “Object reference not set to an instance of an object” exceptions from time to time. These have been written to our application log, but unfortunately I haven’t been able to reproduce these exceptions on my end yet. This is the Stack Trace:

    at C1.Win.C1TrueDBGrid.BaseGrid.View.ChooseCursor(Point p)

    at C1.Win.C1TrueDBGrid.BaseGrid.View.OnMouseMove(MouseEventArgs e)

    at C1.Win.C1TrueDBGrid.BaseGrid.ViewList.OnMouseMove(MouseEventArgs e)

    at C1.Win.C1TrueDBGrid.BaseGrid.Frame.doMouseMove(MouseEventArgs e)

    at C1.Win.C1TrueDBGrid.C1TrueDBGrid.doMouseMove(MouseEventArgs e)

    at C1.Win.C1TrueDBGrid.BaseGrid.Frame.OnMouseMove(MouseEventArgs e)

    at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmMouseMove(Message& m)

    at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m)

    at C1.Win.C1TrueDBGrid.BaseGrid.Frame.WndProc(Message& m)

    at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.OnMessage(Message& m)

    at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m)

    at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)

    Sorry, that I can’t provide you with more information or a sample application. Could you please have a look into this though?

    Thank you very much,

    Christian

    Hello Christian,

    I am sorry to mention but I could not replicate the said behaviour with MouseMove event, at my end. However, a sample replicating the issue would be better. But, could you please share the detailed steps to reproduce and environment details in which the users have faced this issue, so that I can assist you further accordingly?

    Regards,

    Meenakshi

    Hello Meenakshi,

    Thank you very much for looking into this and for your reply. I spoke to our users and tried to replicate the error:

    They enter data into a cell (numbers, dates, text). Sometimes they press Enter, sometimes not, and then use the mouse to click into the next cell or to another control on the form. While they move the mouse cursor over the grid, the application crashes with an unhandled “Object reference not set to an instance of an object” exception.

    The affected users enter a lot of data over the day. But the exception occurs only four or five times a day per user. I haven’t been able to replicate the exception so far. Sorry, all I’ve got are the logged stack traces.

    I’ve rolled my application back to version 4.0.20171.248. Since then the error has been gone.

    Regards,

    Christian

    Hi,

    Thank you for providing me with the details. But, it does not seem to be of much help.

    I tried by following these steps. But, this is working fine at my end. Could you kindly share the details of system environment in which the users are facing problem?

    I would need to replicate the issue at my end, first. Once I am able to do so, I would be able to help you better with this.

    Regards,

    Hello Christian,

    Thank you for sharing the details.

    I tried the same in the specified environment. But, the issue could not be replicated at my end.

    Can you kindly share some more details on how the grid is being used at the users’ end? Is there any specific operation performed just after moving the mouse over the grid?

    I understand that it can be inconvenient for you and your users. But, since the issue could not be reproduced. Therefore, I can’t escalate this to the developers.

    Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Regards,

    Meenakshi

    Hi Meenakshi,

    As far as I know there is no specific operation performed after moving the mouse over the grid. It’s a pity, that I can’t reproduce the error myself.

    Could you send me a debug version of the C1TrueDBGrid, so that I can get a more detailed stack trace?

    Regards,

    Christian

    Hello,

    Sorry, it is not possible to share the debug version.

    Though, the issue could not be replicated at our end. But, I am discussing this case with the developers if there could be any specific cause behind this exception. And, I will let you know once there is any information from them.

    Regards,

    Hello Christian,

    Though the issue could not be replicated at developers’ end as well. But, they are providing an internal build for testing. You can find the build on the given link:

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/7ln66kfv1vcjf9f/C1WinForms.4_4.0.20172.273.zip?dl=0<\a>

    After testing, kindly share your observations with us.

    Hello Meenakshi,

    Thank you very much! This is very kind!

    Sorry, I don’t get the build working with my license. This is the compiler error I get:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(2977,5): error MSB6006: “lc.exe” exited with code -1.

    I tried to recreate the licenses.licx file and the project references by removing them and dragging the controls onto a new form, but this didn’t work: The references were added to the project, but the licenses.licx wasn’t created and the controls weren’t added to the form.

    Can you please help me installing the build?

    Regards,

    Christian

    Hi Christian,

    Kindly let me know about the issue exactly you faced while posting. And, I am not sure about how you are trying to add new control to Toolbox in your application. So could you please give me some details about this?

    However, I would suggest you to add control to form normally with build 4.0.20172.271. After this, you can replace the DLL in References of your project, with 4.0.20172.273 build.

    Regards,

    Meenakshi

    Hello Christian,

    I tried in the same manner but I am not able to face any such issue while posting.

    Please note that only a hotfix has been provided to you and installer is not available for the same. Replacing original entries from Program Files with the new ones does not modify registered entries in GAC, resulting in design-time conflicts.

    Therefore, as mentioned earlier, I would suggest you to add control to form normally with build 4.0.20172.271. After this, you can replace the DLL in References of your project, with 4.0.20172.273 build. Kindly try with this and share your observations here.

    Regards,

    Meenakshi

    Posted 27 September 2017, 9:14 pm EST

    Hi Meenakshi,

    Thank you for your reply. I tried this just again: I added the controls with version 4.0.20172.271, replaced the DLLs with version 4.0.20172.273, removed the C1-references, and replaced them with the new build. Sadly, I still get the “lc.exe” exited with code -1” compiler error. Only when I comment out the LC-Tag in the Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets file (please see attached screenshot), I can compile the project. But then I get the Evaluation Info Dialog. I’m sorry, I can’t deploy an evaluation version to my users for testing.

    Regards,

    Christian

    Hi Christian,

    Though there does not seem to be a way other than those discussed earlier. But I am internally discussing this issue with the developers. And I will inform you as soon as there is any information about this.

    Hi Christian!

    When VS creates licenses.licx file, it fills it with specific assembly versions. So, when application is updated with different version, this file won’t build. Every line in generated file looks like this:

    C1.Win.C1Schedule.C1Calendar, C1.Win.C1Schedule.4, Version=4.0.20172.274, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=79882d576c6336da

    If it’s the problem, you can try to fix it by removing everything after assembly name (for every line):

    C1.Win.C1Schedule.C1Calendar, C1.Win.C1Schedule.4

    Also, you might try to re-generate licenses.licx file with our tool. For this, you can see the given link:

    http://our.componentone.com/2016/01/25/licensing-and-licenses-licx-file-licxgenerator-tool/

    If none of these resolve the issue, you can share a stripped-down sample reproducing the issue, here.

    Hi Meenakshi,

    Thank you very much for your support, the tool, and the tips. Please see the attached samples:

    01: 4.0.20171.248: Our actual production version

    03: 4.0.20172.273: The new build with the old licenses.licxs. Does not compile with error MSB6006.

    04: 4.0.20172.273: The new build with a new licenses.licxs, created with the tool. Does not compile with error MSB6006.

    02: 4.0.20172.273: The new build without a licenses.licxs. Compiles, but runs as evaluation version only. Sorry, got an error uploading this file.

    Regards,

    Christian

    Christian,

    Thank you for sharing the samples.

    At my end, your samples could be compiled successfully, without any such error (as you can see in the attached video). I followed the same procedure as mentioned earlier, of replacing C1 DLLs in project references of project.

    Please make sure that you are not placing hotfix DLLs in Program Files, and referencing them from a local folder.

    Regards,

    Meenakshi

    I can confirm that this bug is real. I have compared identical projects, one with version 4.0.20172.271 and the other with 4.0.20161.139. I’m afraid I am unable to replicate it in a simple example project, but in our real application it occurs in a form where we have 2 TrueDbGrids. The first grid (“master”) has a list of groups with checkboxes. When a checkbox is unchecked, it filters the rows in the second grid (“child”). If the user unchecks and re-checks a checkbox, the expected behavior is that the child grid shows the original row count but this does not happen in 4.0.20172.271, fewer rows are shown. The filter is enabled by use of the grid’s data source’s (dataview) rowfilter property. After the re-check, if the user then mouses over the child grid, the exception in this thread is raised.

    Hi Meenakshi,

    My C1 version is 4.0.20162.188, I have the same problem.

    Could you tell me which version can provide the solution?

    Thanks in advance.
