Vista + Net 3.5 + WPF + WindowsFormsHos t + WebBrowser + SVG = CRASH

[star-italia]

Hi, I have a big problem:

I am developing a WPF application on Windows Vista SP1 Based on the .NET Framework 3.5 and WPF.
In my application I use a WIndowsFormsHos t to (of course) host a WebBrowser.
Everything is ok, but if i try to load an SVG into the WebBrowser the application crashes with the
following message:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
An exception of type 'System.AccessV iolationExcepti on' occurred in
PresentationFra mework.dll but was not handled in user code

Additional information: Attempted to read or write protected memory.
This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

On my PC Vista is up to date and I use IE7 that is up to date too.
Loading that SVG directly in IE7, everything goes well.

I also noted that everything but html crashes my application. I don't know if there are problems
loading the plug in within the WebBrowser...
Because if i load the same pages directly on IE7 they load normally.

Someone can help me?

Thanks in advance

Hi Star-italia,

I'm trying to reproduce the problem on my side.

Currently, I haven't installed SP1 on my Windows Vista Enterprise machine,
so I couldn't perform a test on Vista SP1 at present. But I did run my test
WPF application on a Windows XP Professional SP2 machine and found that the
problem you described does not exist on Windows XP SP2.

I will install SP1 on my Vista machine and perform a test on it later. You
can also run your WPF application on a Windows XP SP2 machine to see if the
problem still exists.

As soon as I have any new finding, I will update it to you. I appreciate
your patience!

Sincerely,
Linda Liu

Thanks for your help

I forgot to mention that the svg reside on my HD, so when i double click on it
IE7 tells me that the content can be dangerous, but after clicking on the
top sidebar, it works.

Another thing I forgot to mention, is that this thing is crucial for my
application because an entire part of the app uses a "local website" which use
SVG.

Thanks again

Hi Star-italia,

Thank you for your prompt reply!

I forgot to mention that I also installed the Adobe SVG Viewer before I
performed tests : )

I performed another test on Windows Vista Enterprise with SP1 and found
that I couldn't browse a .svg page from within the WebBrowser control
hosted in the WindowsFormsHos t element.

I also create a WinForm application and add a WebBrowser control on the
form. When running the WinForm application on the Vista machine, I found
that I couldn't browse the .svg page either.

In my tests, neither the WPF nor the WinForm application crashes when
browsing the .svg page. Instead, I got a "Internet Explorer Script Error"
dialog saying "An error has occured in the script on this page".

It seems that the problem may be related to the native Web Browser COM
component on Vista because the WebBrowser control in .NET is only a managed
wrapper of the native Web Browser component.

I will consult this issue in our internal discussion group. As soon as I
get any hint, I will update it to you.

I appreciate your patience!

Hi Star-italia,

Thank you for your reply!

Can ou please give a try with the SVG i provided in the previous post?

In fact I have performed a test with the SVG you provided in the previous
message. The result of the test is that I only get a script error while
attempting to browse the SVG files you provided.

BTW, I place the SVG files you provided in the C:\Inetpub\wwwr oot directory
on the web server and add a MIME type for SVG files(extension : .svg MIME
type: text/svg) in the IIS manager. The OS of my web server is Windows
Vista Enterprise.
