And if the error message wasn't so esoteric, then we might have figured it out sooner

Not that I like to wish problems on other people, but it’s nice to know there is at least one other person who experienced this problem.  It was extremely frustrating as I could reproduce it 100% of the time on every PC that I tired in our organization and it never seemed to show up anywhere else.  I suspect that other people may have had the problem but wrote it off as a VS2005 glitch since it only happened under certain conditions.

 

Ultimately the SF guys came through with a solution, as they always do, and we can move on to the next challenge 

Glad I found this I was having the same issue... nice when someone else figures it out.

Good to hear   I'll add that line to the template.

Wow...  Fantastic That fixed the problem. I have this app deployed on fifty or so PCs and it's been drving me nuts. Thanks!!!!

I'd like to suggest that you add that one line of code to the standard AppMain just in case some other unfortunate individual runs into this

OK, then, if you don't need session locking, then just leave it out.  If you do need session locking, then add the following line to right after the call to StrataFrameApplication.RunApplication() within the Main() method and see if it fixes the problem:

SessionLock.StopSessionMonitoring();

The SessionLock class uses some low-level OS hooks to trap the mouse and keyboard input to determine when the session is idle... looks like your MDAs are catching the error and displaying it.

You're on to something; comment out that line and no exception on exit.

Wow, still no dice... works fine for me.  Try this:

comment out the line within the InitApplication() method that calls the StartSessionMonitoring() on the SessionLock class and see if you still get the error.

The issue with the unknown software exception is continuing to cause problems. It’s now showing up in other parts of my application. I have an Active Reports viewer control in the application. When I go to print the report, a standard printer dialog is displayed. If I simply click print, the report is printed and when I exit the program, it terminates normally. However if I open the dialog, make some changes to the printer settings, and then cancel the printer dialog, when I close the program I get an application exception at the same location as when working with the connection wizard. Performing the same steps with Active Reports outside of a StrataFrame application does not produce the error.

 

I’ve attached an example of a project that displays the exception. It’s nothing more than a SF windows application with role based security that contains a SF main form. I’d like to know if you get the same error when performing the following steps. Again this error only happens in SF application with role based security. An application without role based security does not have this problem.

 

Run app in debug

Database Connection Wizard is displayed

Click Next

Select any database (there are no business objects)

Click Next

Click Finish

On login screen, click Exit

Program aborts with an unknown exception.

 

One thing that you could do is just create an external encrypted file that has your connection info and load it up manually and set the DataSources yourself.  This is basically all the Shared Settings file does.  I will try to reproduce this again....so far no luck
