Exception thrown when using spreadsheet - on a subsequent usage

I had encountered the problem [previously with thread 141595 but couldnt get a reliable repro.   After reworking the application to depend less upon the spreadsheet control as I was encountering a number of bugs since starting using it but have got to a stage where I reliably repro this error using the spreadsheet control.

The exception thrown is

  HResult=0x80131604

Attached in the link is a video repro and the source code for the repro project. 
 
Please do not publically share the source code. 
 
 
 
The video should show the repro of the bug which is consistent and causes the application to crash.    
 
Regards

You just publically copy a link despite me asking not to publically share and sending a PM.   Please contact me to get the repro if you havent already downloaded it, I have pulled the link down now.

Hi Spotty, 
  
Thanks for your update. 
  
In your shared link, we can only find the video demo only and there is no sample in that provided link. So, can you please attach the issue reproducible sample in that link to check your reported scenario. It will be helpful for us to investigate further. 
  
Regards, 
Jagadeesan 



SP Spotty May 6, 2019 04:55 PM UTC

I believe that should have zip in containing repro now

Hi Spotty,  
 
Sorry for the delay. 
 
The issue with "Target invocation exception occurs while loading the .xlsm file" has been fixed and the patch for this fix can be downloaded from the following location. 

 
 
Recommended approach - exe will perform automatic configuration
Please find the patch setup from below location:

http://syncfusion.com/Installs/support/patch/16.4.0.42/1113341/F144305/SyncfusionPatch_16.4.0.42_1113341_5312019092243259_F144305.exe


Advanced approach – use only if you have specific needs and can directly replace existing assemblies for your build environment
Please find the patch assemblies alone from below location:

http://syncfusion.com/Installs/support/patch/16.4.0.42/1113341/F144305/SyncfusionPatch_16.4.0.42_1113341_5312019092243259_F144305.zip


Assembly Version: 16.4.0.42
Installation Directions : 
This patch should replace the files “Syncfusion.Spreadsheet.Windows” under the following folder.
$system drive:\ Files\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\$Version # \precompiledassemblies\$Version#\4.0
Eg : $system drive:\Program Files\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\16.4.0.42\precompiledassemblies\16.4.0.42\4.0

To automatically run the Assembly Manager, please check the Run assembly manager checkbox option while installing the patch. If this option is unchecked, the patch will replace the assemblies in precompiled assemblies’ folder only. Then, you will have to manually copy and paste them to the preferred location or you will have to run the Syncfusion Assembly Manager application (available from the Syncfusion Dashboard, installed as a shortcut in the Application menu) to re-install assemblies.

Note : 
To change how you receive bug fixes, ask your license management portal admin to change your project’s patch delivery mode.

https://www.syncfusion.com/support/directtrac/patches

Disclaimer : 
Please note that we have created this patch for version 16.4.0.42 specifically to resolve the following issue(s) reported in this/the forum(s). 144305

If you have received other patches for the same version for other products, please apply all patches in the order received.
This fix will be included in our next main release 2019 Volume2.
