If so what has been your experience. Every so often it just goes off the
chart. Runtime errors with no apparent reason. Messages that mean
something to someone in MS who coded it but like most MS code there has been
little of no attempt to aid the developer by generating good messages.

The error I get is and if anyone outside MS can get a handle on this I would
really appreciate it.

I can see that it is attempting to read data but what data, what is the
problem, what is....

So many questions. So few answers.

Not sure what to tell you, especially since this is an issue with a
PowerPack, and not a "true" member of the .NET framework.

As far as I can tell you have about 3 options:

1) Report this to http://connect.microsoft.com/ (which is actually
monitored by Microsoft). Odds are it'll be marked as not being able to
be reproduced (unless you can provide a sample)

2) Sign up for help from Microsoft, such as an MSDN subscription. This
costs money and doesn't guarantee a fix.

3) Hope the PowerPacks are shared source and can be debugged into and
find the problem yourself. Not sure if they are, but here's
instructions for debugging into the "standard" framework code:
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/arch...mework-library-source-code-now-available.aspx

Besides that all I can do is wish you good luck!

Thanks,

I have reported lots of problem to Connect and like you say 100% of the time
it is not reproducable.

I will look into the debugging but I have not seen anything on the site to
point to the debugging versions.

The DataRepeater is trying to reflect the values of your object and
results in the ArgumentException you posted. Drilling down into the
System.ComponentModel.ReflectPropertyDescriptor.SetValue method using
Reflector reveals that the ArgumentException means:

"The elements of the parameters array do not match the signature of
the method or constructor reflected by this instance"

Is it possible that one of your objects has a NULL value that might
cause a problem with reflection? Just a guess.

You can download the .Net source code and try to debug into that
method and see what the values of the objects are when the exception
is thrown.
