ArgumentNullException on .ShowDialog() in btnConnect_Click #136

Closed bradbamford closed 8 years ago

bradbamford commented 8 years ago

Running Excavator on a Windows 10 box is crashing on btnConnect_Click ( orange Connect button) . It's getting

An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentNullException' occurred in PresentationFramework.dll in ConnectPage.xaml.cs line 363

var windowConnected = connectWindow.ShowDialog() ?? false;

I don't have a lot of experience with WPF, any ideas why .ShowDialog() would be causing an ArgumentNullException?

Hi, bradbamford Have you checked for valid connection string in the configuration file?

Does it have to have a valid connection string before running the app?

I've tried with the default one first (Excavator.exe.config and App.config when running from VS2015), assuming I could edit connection string settings from within the app.

I have also tried replacing the connection string in the config files with the same Connection String I'm running Rock, as found in web.ConnectionStrings.config

Last I knew, the connection string needs set up first. Also , try running it as administrator. In case there's an access issue with the location of the db. For example I would avoid trying to use any db located on your desktop. But David will have more wisdom than I.

@bradbamford If you've set up the connection string in the config file, you don't need to use the Connect button within the app. The Connect button is there for non-power users :smile:

I've fixed this issue in the latest build, but it also has Rock v4 code in it so I'm waiting on that to be released before I can make it the default download. See #119.

Thanks @dcs619 for the explanation and link to the closed issue.
