Two diagonal red lines across the grid

    Sometime I get two diagonal red lines across the grid and it makes it unusable.It doesnt happen often.But when it does i have to close the form and open again.And if i run the same request again(same input for the grid) it works next time.

    It is accompanied by index out of bound error. Is this is a known problem?

    I will attach a screenshot next time that happens and more details.

    This probably could be something on my end but i just wanted to make sure that its not a bug.

    I used to see this occassionally when something was not getting serialized correctly or the references were mixed up but I haven’t seen it in years.  What version are you using?

  • Posted 8 September 2017, 4:16 am EST

    Hello,

    This would happen any time there is an exception in the paint code. This is possible to be a bug, but as Bob stated, we have fixed any bugs we are aware of. Make sure you are using the latest release. If you are, could you post a small zipped project reproducing the issue for us to debug?

    Hi,



    This error is accompanied by  “Invalid row index: 0 ( must be -1 and -1)” error.

    I dont know where the error  occurs. I have set up a conditional break point so that i debug it.



    my version number is 4.0.2001.2005.  winforms 3.0  c# on VS2008.



    There is no definite way of replicating the error.The application makes a TCP/IP requests and sends xml messages to the server which is behind firewall. I mite not  be able to give you access to the app.

    Have you tried getting version 4.0.2003 to see if that solves the problem?  I have never seen this issue in any release of version 4.

  • Posted 8 September 2017, 4:16 am EST

    Hello,

    In addition to what Bob stated, are you making calls on a seperate thread to change information on the Spread like RowCount etc.?

  • Posted 8 September 2017, 4:16 am EST

    Yea… I am using a separate thread to popuate the grid.

    you think that could be the problem? I started seeing more of this problem after i implemented the async populatation of the grid but i cannot say for sure i had not seen it before.





    I just now changed the code to



    fpSpread1.Invoke((MethodInvoker)delegate() { fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Models.Data = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.Model.DefaultSheetDataModel(value, typeof(FinancialDataSummaryItem)); });

    that will make the ui thread to populate the grid.



    I will keep you posted.





  • Posted 8 September 2017, 4:16 am EST

    Hello,

    I believe this is the cause of the issue. Running the seperate thread on a delegate call should fix the issue. If it does not, could you post a small zipped project reproducing this issue for us to debug?

  • Posted 8 September 2017, 4:16 am EST

    Its been good so far… its not crashed after i made the changes.I will get back to you guys if it happens again…

  • Posted 8 September 2017, 4:16 am EST

    Thanks for letting us know.

  • Posted 8 September 2017, 4:16 am EST

    Hello,

     I'm curious what is acceptable to access/modify outside of the main thread and what is not?

     

  • Posted 8 September 2017, 4:16 am EST

    Hello,

    Really nothing is acceptable to access/modify in a seperate thread unless you invoke the call through a delegate.

  • Posted 8 September 2017, 4:16 am EST

    Dear Support,

    I am facing similar issue and i am getting this exception before getting Red X.

    See the end of this message for details on invoking

    I am working on a real time application and my grid needs to updates asynchronously since GUI may get freezed at times. It works in sync way like the GUI thread fetching data from database and then binding to grid. But my requirement is that i want to bind data asynchronously to grid.

    Hello,

    I was not able to make out from your code what approach are you actually following to perform the update to th database. It would be a great help if you could provide me with a sample that depicts your approach and the exception that you are getting, so that I could look into the issue further.

    Thanks,

    Hello,

    I was not able to debug the issue reported by you, from the code provided by you. I would need the complete sample to debug your issue and help you out further. I would also suggest you to update to the latest version of Spread v4.0.2026, try executing your application with the latest version,  and check out if it resolves your issue. Please let me know your observations. You can find the latest version of Spread v4.0.2026 at the following link:

                                                                           ftp://ftp.fpoint.com/SpreadWinForms4/

    Thanks,

    Hi

    I have downloaded the latest version of Farpoint from the link you gave.But the problem persists.Same red X is displayed on spread if I go on refreshing the the farpoint spread.

    As I have used asynchronous delegate in my project,the query is run on the separate thread and when it is executed sucessfully,the callbak function is called.In that callback function datatable  is again bound to spread .For that purpose we have usesd Asynchrous Helper Class from codeproject.You can find it here:   

    http://www.codeproject.com/KB/threads/Asynchronousity.aspx

    We have used Async OI call on UI from this project.

  • Posted 8 September 2017, 4:16 am EST

    Hello,

    I went through the link provided by you and I was able to get an overview of the approach you are following. But I would need a sample depicting the issue that you are facing to assist you further with the same. Please provide me with a sample.

    Thanks,

    Manpreet Kaur.

    I have got red cross again in production executable after using the latest version 11 of spread.

    Can scotts-fp tell what fix need to be put in code. We are using all delegate to ensure there no other thread updating the spread
