.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / August 2005strange error from win forms application (Failed to load resources
Hi everybody, I've got a strange problem with my application (a windows application): I've got an application that is running on a client's production. (the system is dotnet v1.1 on windows XP sp2) Today the application suddenly displayed a message box with this error: Setup Error Failed to load resources from resource file. Please check your setup. While the message box was displayed the application was frozen (as far as I can tell all the threads in the application stopped working). When I clicked the OK button my Application restarted itself which is what it is supposed to do if an unhandled exception happens. (And now it's working OK). What does this error mean? My application does NOT use any resources (except,of course, for any resources generated by the visual studio for the forms). The strange thing is that, as far as I can see, the message box is shown BEFORE the exception reaches the unhandled exception handler. Now, the real problem is that while this message box is shown the application is NOT running. Nadav Hi I think to troubleshoot the problem, you may try to use Assembly Binding Log Viewer tool to see if there is any binding error. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cptutorials /html/assembly_binding_log_viewer_deployment.asp This is a free file monitoring tool (http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/filemon.shtml), I would recommend downloading it and watching what the application is doing to the hard drive, i.e. open,close,create, etc... and you will see if it is getting any ACCESS DENIEDs. It is pretty enlightening and should hopefully help you out a bit. Also based on my research, it seems that the antivirus software may have some side effect. Here is the related issue, you may have a take. http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.framework/browse_thre ad/thread/551a2faffd12563b/96e84199d0c83f36?lnk=st&q=Failed+to+load+resource s+from+resource+file&rnum=2&hl=zh-CN#96e84199d0c83f36 Best regards, Peter Huang Microsoft Online Partner Support  SignatureGet Secure! - www.microsoft.com/security This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. Hi Peter, I will try to download the Fuslogvw.exe and see if I can find the problem. I've looked the link you provided for the related issue and I'm not sure if this is related to my problem. In that case (and any other case I've found on the internet) either the application runs normally or it will not start at all. In my case the application works, and ONCE it fails with this error message. And after I stopped and restarted the program it continued to work normally. Now, for all I know, maybe it was a problem reading from the harddisk that caused the problem. What I want to know is, is this error message shown by the dotnet runtime itself? (and for that matter, why doesn't the error message says WHICH resource it failed to read) Nadav Hi So far it is hard to confirm what throw the exception without further troubleshooting. At a glance, I think it may be true. I think you may try to enable the first change exception and run the application in debug mode to observe the call stack may give us some hint. 1. Press Ctrl+Alt+E, select CLR exception and check the Break into debugger 2. press F5 to run the application. 3. If there is exception occur, the debugger will stop the application and you can show the call stack with Ctrl+Alt+C in the break mode For detailed information, I think you may need to contact MSPSS for dump analysis. http://support.microsoft.com Best regards, Peter Huang Microsoft Online Partner Support SignatureGet Secure! - www.microsoft.com/security This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. Hi Peter, The problem is that the application is running on a user production system. I can't very well run my program there under a debugger for several days waiting for this problem to occur.

Hi Commonly we use the tool below to create dump for further How to use ADPlus to troubleshoot "hangs" and "crashes" (286350) http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;286350 To analyze the dump you may need to contact MSPSS.

Hi Peter, Thanks for your reply. This looks like what I was looking for. One question: In my problem ( program pops up message complaining that it failed to read a resource) can I get enough info from running ADPlus in hang mode after the message box appears, or do I have to run ADPlus in crash mode and wait for the error to happen (this might take several days. Does attaching ADPlus to a process causes any problems? ) Thanks Nadav Hi Adplus is a tool which use the cdb.exe to collect the memory snapshot in certain time. So I think both approaches are OK. But to identify the correct problem, I do suggest you contact MSPSS that will help you create dump in the more proper approach according to your scenario. Attach ADplus to a process is just as attach a debugger, which is helping to collect the memory snapshot. If you still have any concern, please feel free to post here.

Hi Have u tried to install Service Pack 1 for .Net Framework 1.1? That fixed a similar problem for me:) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=A8F5654F-088E-40B2-BBDB -A83353618B38&displaylang=en Toma > Hi everybody, > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > > Nadav
