random exception occurring with Bitmap..ctor() and invalid params

8 New Member
Hey,

I'm having an emergency problem with my software and am under a very very tight deadline, so I thought I could post here as a last resort...



I randomly get an exception pop up that gives me the following approximate stack trace:


"Argument Exception: Invalid parameter used.
at System.Drawing. Bitmap..ctor(In t32 width, Int32 height)
...
at System.Drawing. Icon..ctor(Int3 2 width, Int32 height).
...
"



i DO have some bitmaps that i created in mspaint that are put into picture boxes on the window designer, but my GUI uses the .net default icon. this exception occurs at random times (sometimes when scrolling horizontally thru a listview, sometimes when flipping tabpages... there really is no set time that it ever happens. To make matters worse, it NEVER gives a line number at which the error occurred. the GUI loads up fine, and i can be running for days without seeing this error, but it will occasionally rear it's ugly head.

none of my code tries to act on any of the bmp files. once i put the files into the GUI designer, i never touch them again. i don't try to do any converting from one type of pic to another or anything of the sort. These bmp files have been used on past GUIs without creating a problem.

this GUI does deal with high data throughput, so maybe i am overtasking the computer, which causes this error? I dont know..... at this point, i have no clue what is wrong.


if anyone knows anything about this, please help... i'm in a world of hurt =(



thanks in advance.

i have a method which throws an exception. the thing i dont understand is that the only change between the two versions is a line of code AFTER the one that throws the exception - see code below the only difference between the il BEFORE the line throwing the exception is a BR.S as opposed to BR, due to the length of the branch required, which makes sense. anyone know what is going on?

Hi, I've hit quite a strange problem with XmlSerializer on my W2K3 server. When I serialize/deserialize using an exe on my local computer (XP), everything works fine. When I put the code out on the server (W2K3) it throws an exception. It only seems to happen when serializing/deserializing _arrays_ of a type. If I just serialize/deserialize one instance, it works fine. The exception I get is: (sorry for the word wrapping.)...

Hello all, Is there a function in the standard C library which returns a prime number which is also pseudo-random? Assuming there isn't, as it appears from the docs that I have, is there a better way than to fill an array of range 0... RAND_MAX with pre-computed primes and using the output of rand() to index into it to extract a random prime.

In the debugger everything works fine but outside the debugger (debug or release) I receive the following error: "The type initializer for "System.Xml.Schema.Validator" threw an exception." I wrote a small console app that contains the problem -- I've just attached the default class which gets run. Output outside the...

I am trying to set up an Image authorization where you type in the value that is in a picture to log on to our site. I found a program that is supposed to do it, but it doesn't seem to work. It should put a blue and yellow box on the page with "This is a test" as part of the picture. But what I get is a broken Gif. The other problem is that I can't view the source???? The view source is disabled for this page. What causes this?

Hi, For some procedures that throws exceptions, I would like to show different messages to the user depending on what type of exception he's getting. For instance this one: when the file is locked, I want a messagebox to tell that the user has to close the file first. Is there a way to identify an exception by some kind of unique number or something like this? I don't want to identify it on the Exception Message because some users are...

Anyone do any tests on it? I would assume it has improved since C's rand(), but who knows. For some reason, and it could just be coincidence, I seem to see patterns. But even a crappy rand() function should be good enough to avoid that, so i may be seeing things. Zytan

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
