Hello,
a few users of one of our customers currently experience the following issue when our program calls Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.UltraGridLayout.LoadFromXml(Stream stream, PropertyCategories propertyCategories).
The stream is a memory stream and propertyCategories is set to PropertyCategories.All.
This results in a System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException.
The strange thing about this is, that no matter the source of the XML (in this case it is actually created in memory and loaded from anywhere) this fails. I have compared the XML with the XML on a machine where it worked and did not find any significant differences.
This issue on comes up on very few specific computers and not anywhere else.
We have checked the GAC and the folder our software has been deployed in and there are no anomalies either.
The users culture is US English.
Has anybody else experienced a similar error?
Here is the call stack
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.

That exception can sometimes occur when you have two different assemblies interacting with each other and one of them has changed the signature of a method so that the first one calls a method which no longer exists. Is it possible that the stream is being passed from another process or another thread?
Could it be that the machines in question are using an older version of the Infragistics components than the machine you developed on?
wrong assemblies was what I expected to, but we got a list of the GAC and a list of the files in the folder our application was deployed to via Click Once. Both seemed to be ok.In order to get more detailed information we will write the loaded assemblies to the a log file and check those. Maybe it is more conclusive.
Multiple threads as a source can be excluded. We are not using multithreading where this error occurs and it currently only effects three specific computers. Reproducable, whenever a layout is assigned.
