Hello Ramesh,

I took the suggestions from the previous reply and tried to reproduce the problem on 3 machines with different configurations.  Here is what I found:

Machine 1: Windows XP 32-bit, SP3 - crash.  (See attached Machine1.txt)

Machine 2: Windows 7 - no crash.

Machine 2: Windows XP running in a VM installed on Machine 2, 32-bit, SP3 - no crash. 

Just a side note, Machine 2 is one of our machines in the server rack, so it is very powerful.  Apparently, it didn't crashed there.

I have also tried to run the application on a different machine (Machine 3) with newer hardware configuration but the same OS (Windows XP 32bit SP3) and 4G RAM, that one too crashed.

So my conclusion is the problem may have something has to do with the hardware configuration.  Maybe not enough memory, because the exception that I got was an out of memory exception. 

Thank you.

Pink,

Thank you for the update.  Machine 1 is using a Nvidia Quadro FX 1600M video card and machine 3 is using a Nvidia Quadro FX 1700M video card.  Both of these cards use the same video driver so that is likely the cause of the issue.  Note that machine 3 is using an older version of the driver than machine 1.

Driver Name: nv4_disp.dll

machine 3 version: 6.14.0011.7688

machine 1 version: 6.14.0012.6658

I still looking to see if I can get access to this hardware running Windows XP SP3.

Pink,

I was able to test on a machine with a video card that uses the same driver and this didn't reproduce the issue.  The machine I tested with had a nVidia Quadro FX 570M video card in it.  It is likely that this card isn't capable of the same resolutions and that would account for not being able to reproduce this.

Since this issue is related to a specific video driver, I would also recommend that you reach out to nVidia as well with the issue to see if they can help with this.

Let me know if you have any questions with this matter.

Pink,

I wanted to follow up that the highest resolution I was able to test at was 1920x1080 which is less than the resolution of the monitors that you have.  Since the issue is specific to two cards using the same video driver you should follow up with nVidia as the issue is only reproducible with those cards.  Please post any resolution that nVidia may have here as well.

Let me know if you have any questions with this matter.

Hello,

There was an issue where dragging a retemplated ContentPane caused a NullReferenceException with the same stack trace.  This exception was being thrown in that case because the retemplated ContentPane had a menu within the PaneHeaderPresenter that was getting focus and this also captured the mouse which took the focus away from the drag operation.  Internally we addressed the exception in the control so that the drag operation is just terminated as there isn't anyway to know if capturing the mouse should be done.

In the case of the menu the solution was to modify the customized PaneHeaderPresenter so that the menu wouldn't take focus.

Let me know if you have any questions with this matter.

Thank you for your update and it is good to know that everything is working.  Regarding the issue that you saw, if the combo box took focus when you dropped it down, then it is likely that is was the same issue.  We addressed the issue with the exception being thrown by the XamDockManager in a later service release though the fix only prevents the exception and the drag operation would end.

I was having the same problem. The problem ended up being a combo box inside the content pane that was opening and closing its drop down list in the combo box's loaded event. Whenever I would drag the pane that event would fire and cause the stack trace you mentioned.  Handling the loaded event in the combo box was a working around for a different WPF bug.   Andrew's post about the Menu causing the problem ended up pointing me in the right direction.  We approached the Combo Box WPF bug in a different manner and everything works now.

after removing custom template from contentpane and paneHeaderPresenter control getting the below exception

We tried running a sample using the original post's xaml on a system where the monitor's resolution is 2560x1600 and didn't reproduce the original issue nor the exception you are mentioning. Actually your issue sounds like it is different - as if something is happening during the drag processing and the drag is getting cancelled. The only such issue that comes to mind was a scenario where a contentpane contained a Menu and it was in the tab order so when the ContentPane was activated during the drag and focus was shifted to the first control that was the Menu which took mouse capture ending the drag. If that's not your issue then please provide a sample project that demonstrates the exception you are mentioning and we can look into it further.
