Hi there,

we are facing a bug in one of our application related to the new actipro dll (V16.1.0634).

when we open another window containing the actipro docking framework, we get a "Object does not match target type." error when a RaisePropertyChanged is called. Weirdly, this occurs only when the window is opened for second time (only works on the first open).

We have confirmed that this is related to the new actipro dll since we tried the changeset right before the change and it works fine (and the updgrade was the only change).

 

We suspect that somehow the binding get done too early before the actipro components are created? We say this because once the window is opened, the same line of code (the raisepropertychange) works without any issue.

Right now our only solution we can think of is to wrap the RaisePropertyChange call in a Try..Catch block where we ignore the error... But we don't really like this :/

We are 100% positive that the property being raised is ok.

(Sadly, we tried to reproduce this in a smaller project without succes...)

Hi Eric,

I'm sorry you are having trouble.  It's hard to say what is happening without a simple sample project to debug with.  The stack trace you listed doesn't have any Actipro code paths in it.

For the upgrade you mentioned, do you mean upgrading from 2015.1 or ealier, or do you mean upgrading from an earlier 2016.1 build, like 633?

If the former, the 2016.1 Docking/MDI rewrite changed how controls are injected into the UI and it uses more of a standard WPF templated approach.  This makes the control UI easier to customize when you build customized styles/templates.  A downside though is that some controls down the hierarchy don't get put into the visual tree until their ancestor controls are fully loaded and realized.  They should be fully ready by the time the DockSite.Loaded event fires.  If you can delay whatever you are doing until that event timeframe, then perhaps you can work around this.

I believe the upgrade was from a 2015.1 build to the current latest 2016.1 build.

Ok in that case, please take a look at the info in the last paragraph of my previous reply.

For the record:

The following fixed my issue:

http://www.actiprosoftware.com/community/thread/23678/docksite-inside-prism-scoped-region

 

The reason was that i had a view/view-model disposal method which would dispose my objects which were registered to a given region.

Since no view were register to the expected scoped region, non of my view/view-model were diposed and therefore hanging in memory and responding to certain events.

Therefore on second load the old view-model would react to some eventaggregator event and would crash.

The latest build of this product (v24.1.1) was released 2 months ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
