c# - What is behind a silent failure to load resource on x64 bit machine with .NET 4.0? -

-

a user of program has reported inability startup application. not yet done troubleshooting, i'm baffled.

logging still works, used logging statements , able narrow down crash single line in user control's initializecomponent:

this.horizontalbox.image = ((system.drawing.image)(resources.getobject("horizontalbox.image")));

here relevant clues end:

  • 64 bit windows 7
  • correct .net framework (4.0 client profile)
  • no visual elements ever show, , no error dialogs. silent shutdown when starting.
  • logging works, there no logged errors.
  • he has uninstalled , reinstalled .net 4.0 client profile framework.
  • he doesn't have visual studio or other development tools mucking stuff.

i have spent week or eliminating theories , i'm becoming confused , desperate. here relevant details , things have found:

  • i targeting x86 explicitly.
  • the logging failed log exception set catch , log unhandled exceptions , thread abort exceptions.
  • whatever killing application prevents final "shutting down" logging message in program's basic entry point.
  • i had read icon (.ico) file formats don't work in windows xp. far fetched theory, since windows 7. 1 , case of ico files in project, suspicious , switched png. no difference. since figure image failing merely because first image loaded resource.
  • i had read form_load event may swallow exceptions (and when debugging). also, initializecomponent() in constructor, theory shaky. nonetheless, wrapped call initializecomponent() in try/catch, catch , associated logging never called.
  • i have seen posts resource compilation problems between x86 , x64, nothing relevant runtime issues. (see this post)
  • i assumed there must wrong unique program showing issues, made windowsformsapplication1 test application nothing more single image embedded in associated resource file. fails load in same way. test application targeting x86.
  • it works fine on other x86 , x64 machines!

what possibly going on machine? why exception handling failing me? problem crazy!

edit: more details, , i'm still baffled!

  • i have since sent test application (a single form single image on it) built x86, x64, , "any cpu". x64 , "any cpu" applications both work.

some questions spring mind. have got similar build machine test - may identify if build/program integration or possible issue build (i.e. windows problem/virus/etc).

has installed default folder or did customised install?

has tried full uninstall / reinstall of app? (i note said runtime refreshed) - possibly different folder make sure.

can recreate on similar build (os version) vs installed code walkthrough in debugger - stack trace , output buffer may identify - may disasembly - , can set stop @ exceptions?

unfortunatly unhandled exceptions can not caught in c# (especially post 2.0) - debugger of windbg may option in end (yuk!).

can suggest though first...just thought:

before line fails, test, output this:

var obj = resources.getobject("horizontalbox.image");         console.writeline("obj = " + (obj bitmap));

because have feel failure happening when trying marshal resource bitmap type , getting memory exception (maybe corrupt image stride/pixel format etc or maybe on culprit machine making image file non image file).

how can create excel report fixed header using japserreports? mean need header fixed when scroll excel file. this possible adding couple properties in jrxml file each report. take @ advanced excel features freeze panes. if wanted freeze after first column header (down left side basically) this: <statictext> <reportelement style="sans_bold" mode="opaque" x="0" y="60" width="104" height="20" forecolor="#ffffff" backcolor="#666666"> <property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.auto.filter" value="start"/> <property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.column.width" value="110"/> <property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.freeze.column.edge" value="left"/> </reportelement> &

i need duration of audio file series of voice announcements need play app. have added audio files resources , play fine. sample code below works perfect intended purpose: return duration of audio files. here code: float getdurationofaudioresource(locationenum loc, context context){ float duration = 0; try { mediaplayer mp; mp = mediaplayer.create(context, getaudioresource(loc)); duration = mp.getduration(); mp.release(); mp = null; } catch (illegalstateexception e) {e.printstacktrace(); logerror(25, "testdescitem:fault::could not open mediaplayer object audio resource.");} return duration; } here's weird thing. code called in main activity prepares set of audio instructions given test. there no errors within activity. second activity called, long string of errors on logcat. 03-07 13:23:43.820: i/actionlogger(21435): gentest_info_test #0 created. 03-07 13:23:43.830: i/actionlogger(21435): gente
