The type initializer for 'DevExpress.XtraTreeList.TreeList' threw an exception

Hello Christiaan,

This looks like a problem in DX component we are using for UI (TreeList),
and we were never able to reproduce it. It looks like it verifies license
and fails. Here is what additional information may help:

• Do you use DX controls in your solution?

• Do you have them installed?

• Which version if so?

• Do you have App_Licenses assembly somewhere?

• Create and execute the following macro, tell us what is shows

Sub ShowLicense()
MsgBox("<" & AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformation.LicenseFile
& ">")
End Sub

Thanks!

Sincerely,
Ilya Ryzhenkov

Dear Ilya,

No, I don't use any DX components in my projects (only infragistics)
I've used to have a free package of the DX controls installed but I removed it some time ago, with no result.
I have App_licenses.dll files on my system, but these are all in Infragistics folders:
     C:\Program Files\Infragistics\NetAdvantage for .NET 2008 Vol. 2 CLR 3.5\ASP.NET\Forms\WebSchedule\Bin\App_Licenses.dll
     C:\Documents and Settings\christiaanv\My Documents\Infragistics\NetAdvantage for .NET 2008 Vol. 2 CLR 2.0\Samples\ASP.NET\Bin\App_Licenses.dll
     C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client\infragistics\20082CLR35\Forms\WebSchedule\Bin\App_Licenses.dll
The output of the macro is: "<>"

Thanks for the swift response!
C+++

for what it's worth, if you want I can start a webex session so you can take over my coputer if you ever need to.

C+++

Hello Christiaan,

Do I understand correctly that the last entry is in your current solution?
Could you please try to remove it temporary and see if ReSharper continues
to crash (or not)?

Do you mean by 'last entry' the app_licenses.dll?
If so, no, that is not part of my project.

Sorry, if my previous post was misleading.

C+++

Please run the following macro:

Sub ShowLicense()
Dim comparer As CompareInfo = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.CompareInfo
Dim sb As New StringBuilder
For Each asm As Assembly In AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies()
Dim assemblyShortName As String = asm.GetName.Name
For Each resource As String In asm.GetManifestResourceNames
If comparer.Compare(resource, Name, CompareOptions.IgnoreCase)
= 0 _
OrElse comparer.Compare(resource, assemblyShortName + ".exe.licenses")
= 0 _
OrElse comparer.Compare(resource, assemblyShortName + ".licenses")
= 0 _
OrElse comparer.Compare(resource, assemblyShortName + ".dll.licenses")
= 0 Then
sb.AppendLine(resource)
End If
Next
Next
MsgBox(sb.ToString)
End Sub

When I run this macro: the result is an empty MsgBox

---------------------------
Visual Studio Macros
---------------------------

---------------------------
OK  
---------------------------

When I change the macro to show me the loaded assemblies (so before the If statement) the result is:

---------------------------
Visual Studio Macros
---------------------------
mscorlib

VBAssembly

Microsoft.VisualBasic

System.Windows.Forms

Microsoft.Vsa

EnvDTE80

EnvDTE


---------------------------
OK  
---------------------------

The code is:

    Sub ShowLicense()

        Dim comparer As CompareInfo = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.CompareInfo

        Dim sb As New StringBuilder

        For Each asm As Assembly In AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies()

            sb.AppendLine(asm.GetName.Name)
            'Dim assemblyShortName As String = asm.GetName.Name

            'For Each resource As String In asm.GetManifestResourceNames

            '    If comparer.Compare(resource, Name, CompareOptions.IgnoreCase) = 0 _
            '    OrElse comparer.Compare(resource, assemblyShortName + ".exe.licenses") = 0 _
            '    OrElse comparer.Compare(resource, assemblyShortName + ".licenses") = 0 _
            '    OrElse comparer.Compare(resource, assemblyShortName + ".dll.licenses") = 0 Then

            '        sb.AppendLine(resource)

            '    End If

            'Next

        Next

        MsgBox(sb.ToString)

    End Sub

Do you have .NET Shared Sources? If so, could you please put breakpoint at
"System.ComponentModel.Design.RuntimeLicenseContext.GetSavedLicenseKey" (Debug
| New breakpoint | Break at function) and tell me parameters to that function?

Yes, I have.

I've been doing my normal stuff, as I always do: find references, refactor -> implement missing members, I've got the exception when I did a rename of a class

The result is the always same for each call to 'GetSavedLicensKey':

+        type    {Name = "RepositoryItem" FullName = "DevExpress.XtraEditors.Repository.RepositoryItem"}    System.Type {System.RuntimeType}
+        resourceAssembly    null    System.Reflection.Assembly

Christiaan,

Thanks for the info, that makes sense. Looks like it scans all assemblies
and finds empty license resources in some assembly. Could you please step
through that method to find what assembly it believes contains license stream?
We then probably will be able to reproduce it here and continue in-house.

Thanks!

Hello Christiaan,

I've reproduced the exception by creating fake empty embedded resource with
specially formed name. I will try to make a workaround, but it may be very
hard if even possible (DX checks their license in static ctor, so if it fails,
type is not accessible). When you have time, please debug the process and
tell us what assembly contains such ill-formed license resource. We would
like to know if it is a problem in project, installed package or whatever.
Thanks for your help!

Great, I've narrowed it down to one of our assemblies which contains an empty xxx.dll.license resource (0 bytes).  This was caused by having an empty .licx.

I've removed it, and now I can rename classes without having R# crashing me to the desktop (which was the main cause of my crashes)

If this is the problem, I'm glad this is solved.

A big thanks for your support.

Hello Christiaan,

Great to hear the problem is resolved. However, I wonder why your project
assembly was loaded into main AppDomain? Is it some code containing designers?
Could you please give us more information about that assembly? I'm trying
to understand how it happens, so that we have real repro case we can work
with, not just fake exception generator.

in fact, this assembly (which contained the empty .licenses resource) is a reference and contains controls which are used in the current solution, so that could the reason why this assembly is also checked for valid licenses.

Once again, a big thanks for your support, I owe you a beer (or more)

Hello Ilya,

I have some more info on why there was an empty .licenses in the assembly, in fact our nantbuild script doesn't handle license.licx well, it just compiles it as a resource not as a license.

That's why this resource is empty (0 bytes) when you compile it with VS it is not null and there is no problem (read: crash)

I am having the same problem.

As soon as I use (tried Run unit test-, Rename, and Run all test in solution- commands) my Visual Studio 2008 crasches.

I had DevExpress on my system - but uninstalled it when the problems arose...

After reading this thread I searched my system for .licx-files and deleted them (none of 0 bytes though). I only had .licx files that related to DevExpress.

But no use - Visual Studio still crasches.

I have Visual Studio 2008 with Resharper 4.5 installed.

The strangest thing is that this worked just two days ago.

Any help on how to solve this?

Hello Marcus
     Do you see any exception messages from ReSharper or Visual Studio just crashes?

Hello,

I managed to capture a errormessage if I was real quick. See attached files.



Just to clarify - I have unistalled all DevExpress stuff before I reinstalled Resharper again. Of course i rebooted my computer in between.

Hello Marcus
     Please run Visual Studio (devenv.exe) with '/ReSharper.LogFile C:\log.txt /ReSharper.LogLevel Verbose' command line parameters, wait until it crashes with exception and attach the resulting log.txt here. Thank you!
