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.
Hello Derek,
What you could try is upgrading your application to the latest service release available for you version which is 11.1.20111.2111 and verify if there the behavior is fixed.If you have any other questions please feel free to ask.
Hello Danko,
I also encountered the same exception on Win7 and Win8 several times in the last year randomly (version 10.3.201032067).
They all originated from Infragistics.Win.DrawCache.Finalize() as shown in the stack trace bellow :

Hello Bin,
After investigating in details your case I believe there are two possible reasons for this exception:
1. You may set too many images for appearances objects for tools. In some moment your application is very close to reaches memory limit for your application and the next image object cannot be created. Then you try use it and application throws an exception. You may find more information how to avoid such kind of issues following this link http://help.infragistics.com/Doc/WinForms/current/CLR4.0/?page=WinGrid_Formatting_and_Appearance_based_Performance_Improvement.html
2. On second hand your application may try to reference an image already disposed. This occurs if you create some image, then dispose it and the try to refer it.
Without sample which reproduces this issue those are the only possible reasons which I could make a guesses, if you can send me an example code throwing this exception I will be glad to investigate this in more details for your.
Please check these two possible reasons for the exception and let me know if this solve your issue or if I am missing something.
We still have the problem with version 14.1.20141.2059When the exception occurs a big red cross appears in the UltraWinToolbar and the application stops working.The weird thing about this is that only 1-2 customers gets this type of error and 200 others users don't.The users are working on windows 7 machines.

Thanks in advantage.
Hello,
Can you please compare Video card and video drivers of this two customers and the other. Was this issue faced on same language and localization settings.
I ma waiting for your feedback.
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 ?
