Border.Child - System.ArgumentException and System.AccessViolationException

03-12-2008 1:41 PM |

Hi,

Using SL2B1 with C# (and IE7), the Border control will throw an exception if the Child property is set to the same object twice.

Example:

UserControl A;
UserControl B;

myBorder.Child = A; //OK
myBorder.Child = B; //OK
myBorder.Child = B; //Exception

An exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in System.Windows.dll but was not handled in user code
Additional information: Value does not fall within the expected range.

Also along these lines, setting Child to null produces another exception,

myBorder.Child = null;

An exception of type 'System.AccessViolationException' occurred in System.Windows.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.

Cheers

Thank you for reporting this. We have logged it at our end and are investigating it.

Is there a workaround yet? or a fix? I have a similar problem adding a new self defined XAML User Control to a Canvas, it gives me:

An exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in System.Windows.dll but was not handled in user code

Additional information: Value does not fall within the expected range.

public void timeToXAML(SA11Demo2.Selector.Course course,Canvas destination, int x, int y)

{

Course newCourse = new Course(course.cName, x, y, course.ccID, 1);

destination.Children.Add((Course)newObj);

}

Here are the course classes....

//---- Course.cs ------

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Windows;

using System.Windows.Controls;

using System.Windows.Documents;

using System.Windows.Input;

using System.Windows.Media;

using System.Windows.Media.Animation;

using System.Windows.Shapes;

namespace SA11Demo2

{

public partial class Course : UserControl

{

public string Id { get; set; }

bool startDrag = false;

public Course(string id, double x, double y, string courseCode, int type) //where type= Lec/Lab

{

InitializeComponent();

// add eventhandlers

CourseRec.MouseEnter += new MouseEventHandler(CourseRec_MouseEnter);

CourseRec.MouseLeave += new MouseEventHandler(CourseRec_MouseLeave);

CourseRec.MouseLeftButtonDown += new MouseButtonEventHandler(CourseRec_MouseLeftButtonDown);

this.MouseLeftButtonUp += new MouseButtonEventHandler(Course_MouseLeftButtonUp);

this.MouseMove += new MouseEventHandler(Course_MouseMove);

// give a value to the properties

this.Id = id;

this.ccID.Text = courseCode;

//this.cName.Text = courseName;

this.type.Text = getCourseType(type);

// set the top end left position on the parent canvas for the course

this.SetValue(Canvas.LeftProperty, x);this.SetValue(Canvas.TopProperty, y);

}

string getCourseType(int type)

{

if(type.Equals(1)) //for when its a LEC

{

return("LEC");

}

else if (type.Equals(2)) //For when its a LAB

{

return ("LAB");

}

else

{

return ("NULL");

}

void Course_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)

{

// only execute this code when the user has started dragging

if (startDrag)

{

// position the center of the course to the cursor of the mouse

this.SetValue(Canvas.LeftProperty, e.GetPosition((Canvas)this.Parent).X - CourseRec.ActualWidth / 2);this.SetValue(Canvas.TopProperty, e.GetPosition((Canvas)this.Parent).Y - CourseRec.ActualHeight / 2);

}

void Course_MouseLeftButtonUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)

{

// stop forcing the capture of the moue to this element

CourseRec.ReleaseMouseCapture();

startDrag = false;

//TODO: use these property mutators to trigger a 'drop event' which will socket the course into place of the closest allowable position

// double xPos = Convert.ToDouble(this.GetValue(Canvas.LeftProperty));

//double yPos = Convert.ToDouble(this.GetValue(Canvas.TopProperty));

Canvas main = this.Parent as Canvas;

CourseRec_Background.Opacity = 1;

}

void CourseRec_MouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)

{

// force the capture of the mouse to this element

CourseRec.CaptureMouse();

startDrag = true;

CourseRec_Background.Opacity = 0.45;

}

void CourseRec_MouseLeave(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)

{

}

void CourseRec_MouseEnter(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)

{

}

I ran into the same problem. I was getting the ArgumentException error until I named all the elements I was adding with unique names. (Before they didn't have names) This definitely seems like a bug, but at least the work around was easy enough.
