DataLayoutControl throws ArgumentException when bound to the XPCollection

Luca Lusetti

created 9 years ago

After upgrading to version 15.1.6 one of our application is experiencing an issue that causes a StackOverflowException when showing a form with a xtradatalayout bound to an XPCollection with an XPObject loaded.

The message is as follows

C#
System.ArgumentException occurred  
  HResult=-2147024809  
  Message=Child list for field Articolo! cannot be created.  
  Source=System.Windows.Forms

The exception is thrown by DevExpress.Data.Helpers.MasterDetailHelper.GetDataSourceCore

This error was not happening with version 15.1.5 of the devexpress library.

Do you have any suggestions ?

Hi Luca,

I assume that you have a many-to-many relationship in your XPO class. But, I can't reproduce this issue on my side. I've attached my project. Would you please provide us with the XPO class you bind to a DataLayoutControl. Do you generate its layout at design time or in code? If possible, modify my project to reproduce the issue.

Luca Lusetti 9 years ago

I do not have a many to many relationship in the class but a one to many. The layout is generated at design time and data source is an xpcollection with the session set vie the resolve session event. The actual unit of work is in a viewmodel object.
The strange thing is that all forms with this kind if databinding have stopped working. What is making me wonder is the name of the filed, for example "Child list for field ModalitaFatturazioneAttiva! cannot be created", ModalitaFatturazioneAttiva is the field name on my object and the binding is on the "!Key" part.
Could I have done something wrong with the databinding ? I have always bound this way in LookupEdit controls (most of these bindings are in this kind of control).
Sadly I am not able to reproduce the same error at the moment (it's midnight here), tomorrow I'll take some time and try to reproduce it in tour code if you have no more suggestions for me.
Thanks

Hello Luca,

Thank you for the clarification. We already have fixed this error and the fix will be included into the next maintenance update. Refer to the following ticket for details: DataLayoutControl throws ArgumentException (The DataMember property cannot be found in DataSource) on binding.

Luca Lusetti 9 years ago

I have installed the hotfix present in the ticket you linked but the problem is not resolved and I have no PDB to debug the error.

DevExpress Support Team 9 years ago

Thank you for the update, Luca. I presume that we might overlook some specific scenario when fixed this bug. Is it possible that you send us your persistent classes source code? I will analyze it and try to determine the cause of the error.

Luca Lusetti 9 years ago

after postiong the sourcecode i tried to make a new form from scratch with just a datalyaoutcontrol and an xpcollection with objeclclassinfo of BlueCashNEXT.Data.Transazioni.Transazione.
As soon as I select the datasource for the DataLayoutControl and set it to the XPCollection visual studio crashes.

Peter Böckmann 9 years ago

Hey DevExpress,
I encounter the same (or at least a similar) problem.
Is there any approach to this behaviour?

Luca Lusetti 9 years ago

Visual studio still crashes opening the designer and the application throws the same exception after upgrading to version 1.7.
I don't think this problem is solved, not entirely anyway.

Luca Lusetti 9 years ago

Any update or workaround I can use ?

We have fixed the issue described in this ticket and will include the fix in our next maintenance update. To apply this solution before the official update, request a hotfix by clicking the corresponding link for product versions you require.

Note: Hotfixes may be unavailable for beta versions and updates that are about to be released.

Additional information:

We have managed to reproduce this problem and determined its cause. The fix for this problem will be included in the next maintenance update. As a temporary workaround, open the XPCollection.DisplayableProperties property editor and remove all properties with a name containing an exclamation sign.

Hello Luca,

Please accept my apologies for the delayed response. I am trying to reproduce this problem with the latest version, but without success. Please give me additional time. I will look which information from you will help us and will get back to you with these details.

Luca Lusetti 9 years ago

Any update ? If this is not solved I have to rollback all my projects to version 1.5 and this is not a think I would like to do…

DevExpress Support Team 9 years ago

Hello Luca,

Please accept my apologies for the delay in response. We have not managed to reproduce the error in the latest version of our components. Since it is urgent, we will make more efforts to research this issue. For this intent, we need some information from you. Specifically, we need to clarify the following:

Is the stack trace of the exception raised at run-time exactly the same as the one you posted in the first message? If not, please send us the complete stack trace.
Does the temporary workaround provided in the Additional Information section of the Solution item work in your case? I mean the following sentence: "As a temporary workaround, open the XPCollection.DisplayableProperties property editor and remove all properties with a name containing an exclamation sign".
In the latest version, the new AllowGeneratingNestedGroups option was added to the LayoutControl. Did you by chance modified this property value or left its default value unchanged?
Is the DataLayoutControl.AutoRetrieveFields option enabled?

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello Luca,

Thank you for the additional information. It was sufficient to understand what the problem is. This error is different than the error that you described in the initial post. To process this issue more efficiently, I created a separate ticket on your behalf: T296826: DataLayoutControl throws StackOverflowException under certain circumstances. I have passed this ticket to our R&D team for research.
