Our application uses 10.1.20101.2013 build of WinForms. Our customers reporting, the same crash, that originates from UltraWinToolbars. The crash occurs randomly but on a regular basis. Below is the stack trace:

Is this a known bug, is there a hotfix?
Thanks
So this is a dead-end?
Has anyone reported this bug to Infragistics? Any developments on that?
Infragistics Support is aware of this bug?
Hello,
I have tried a few experiments with UltraWinToolbars but they are always worked fine. If you have any specific version of NetAdvnatage for WinForms giving you a trouble please feel free to specify it and I will be glad to look further into it for you.
I have tried using the latest version for 10.3, 11.1 and 11.2 and I was not able to reproduce such behavior.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any other questions with this matter.
Hi, one of my clients get's this error too quite often. Are there any new insights of this? The client uses Windows 7 and there are dozens of other clients within the same environment without any issue.
Thanks!

Hi,
While I get the hardware details, there are few more details I would like to add. This error is seen while running our automated tests in QTP, which had to be upgraded to TestAdvantage 15.2 Version Free for the application to continue to be tested with QTP. These errors crop up every couple of hours or so when the test suite is running. These tests worked with previous Infragistics 11.2 and TestAdvantage 11.2 CLR4. And we are using the version free dlls of Infragistics 15.2.
Hi Anuroopa,
In order to investigate this issue further for you, I will need more information about on what operating system, .NET framework and model of the video card this issue is reproducible most of the times. Ideally an isolated sample will decrease the time of troubleshooting it, but as you already mentioned the issue has lack of perseverance and I believe that it is more hardware related (video card driver incompatibility) than related to specific operating system and .NET framework.
There is not a great chance to fix this specific issue, but if you hadn’t already upgraded to the last service release of Infragistics Windows Forms 15.2, I recommend you to keep our controls up to date. The latest service release patch can be download from my keys & downloads.
I am waiting for your feedback.
Some of our users are getting similar errors after upgrade to Infragistics 15.2 from 11.2. It is not consistent. The users are on .NET Framework 4.0.

Have you tried the latest volume release of Infragistics Windows Forms. Does this issue is also reproducible there ?
Are your application use methods implemented externally ?
