With version 9.1.507 my application worked fine; unfortunately, when I migrated to 9.2.515 my application started crashing.

My application has two types of documents: client documents and report documents.

My code is calling the following to ensure a toolbox window is expanded and docked for a report documents:
var toolboxWindow = MainWindow.Instance.ImportantToolWindow;
toolboxWindow.Dock();

and when a client document tab is active I automatically hide the tool window by calling toolboxWindow.AutoHide() (because it's not needed for client documents).

However, with version 9.2.515 when I try and open a new report document and show/pin the tool window then I get the following exception:

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

at ActiproSoftware.Windows.Controls.Docking.ToolWindow.Dock()

I migrated back to 9.1.507 and without changing a line of my own code the application works fine again, so that when I open a new tabbed report window and call the above code to ensure the toolbox is docked and visible everything works fine again.

Nothing in the release history suggets that this should be a problem...

I could really use a hand with this.

Thank you very much,

Hi Robert,

We're not aware of any issues, so we'd need to be able to repro this to help you. If you can repro it in our main demo with a couple lines of code to change then tell us how. Otherwise, please make as simple of a sample project that you can that repros it and email that over. Thanks!
