System.Drawing exception

Greetings to all!

I was wondering if anyone had ever seen this error before:

Exception message: Invalid parameter used. (source='System .Drawing',
method='GetHeig ht')

Portion of the stack trace: System.Drawing. Font.GetHeight( Graphics
graphics)
at System.Drawing. Font.GetHeight( )
at System.Drawing. Font.get_Height ()
at System.Windows. Forms.Control.g et_FontHeight()
at System.Windows. Forms.TextBoxBa se.get_Preferre dHeight()
at System.Windows. Forms.TextBoxBa se.AdjustHeight ()
at System.Windows. Forms.TextBoxBa se.OnHandleCrea ted(EventArgs e)

If anyone has seen this before, I would deeply appreciate some guidance
on how to stop it. Nothing is being done that is special - this error
just occurs when my program loads.

Thanks,

Kyjan

Which font do you use for your form and/or textbox? Check out if changing
the font solves the problem.

I'm using Verdana as the font. I am using an inherited textbox if that
makes any difference (I'm only inheriting it so I can make sure only
numbers go into the textbox).

I get an out of memory exception when attempting to excecute the following code: original = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(file.FileName,true); I ONLY get this exception when the file is in the "My Documents" folder or subfolders.

Hello, I had an earlier post regarding a strange exception I (thought) I was getting in my windows form. I have since been able to trace the problem to a picturebox control on my form. I can reproduce the exception consistently, but it seems to be timing dependent. Here is what happens: I have a subform that I open, load an image from a file into my PictureBox, take some user input, then I hide the

I have a function residing in a module that is doing some file copy and database query operations. This function is called from a regular form under a System.Windows.Forms.Timer control. The problem is that sometimes it gives an error - even when it is doing the same exact operations. It may fail on the 20th tick event or the 100th. The file and data has no changes - so, it is doing the same operations repeatedly. I'm wondering if anyone...

Hi, I am wondering why the .NET Framework is quite different from Win32 API when it comes to displaying system modal message boxes. Consider the four following types of system modal message boxes (please see associated source code below): 1) Win32 API with context ("btnWin32WithContext_Click") 2) .NET Framework with context ("btnFrameworkWithContext_Click") 3) Win32 API withOUT context ("btnWin32WithOUTContext_Click")
