system.invalidoperationexception object is currently in use

Has anyone ever seen this error message?


Some of our customers are getting this occasionally (of course it cannot be reproduced) in our GUI for .NET application.

I have searched the PKB - nothing.

I have searched the internet and there I find that this error can only happen when you use multiple threads. That is interesting because as far as I know that is impossible and we are not doing it.

So I am suspecting it is something else - but how the heck can I find out what if we cannot reproduce it? Progress support don't have a clue either and of course are also asking for a reproduction. My last hope is if someone here on this forum recognizes the situation.

Peter,
 
Does using -debugalert get you a message box with the help button enabled so you can get the current call stack?

.NET Stack trace with that Exception?

Sorry guys I missed your replies while I thought there were not any.

We have not been able to get a stack trace yet because this happens randomly on different workstations and cannot be reproduced so far.

But I am pretty sure by now there is some resource running out and this error is not real.

Is there any way to find that out?

The Stacktrace would help ;-)

Most of the posts on the internet seem to be mentioning brushes, drawing or fonts : Are you using any dll / .net component in the UI that uses drawings etc ? I seem to remember some problems with multi-threaded .net controls (not this specific error though) that you had to force to use a single thread by using INVOKE-THROUGH (or something like that)

What UI toolkit are you using ? Any non-ui .net tools ?

We are not using any fancy stuff, just standard Infragistics controls (OpenEdge GUI for .NET).

We are heavily using the schedule control and it contains a *lot* of information. Somehow after working with that for a copuole of hours the errors are starting to come (it seems).

For what it's worth this issue is now thought to be a bug in an Infragistics control.
