Null reference when closing form

[Administrator]

When I close my main MDI form with several XP bars on I occasionally get the following exception. Any Idea what the problem may be here?

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

P.S. I am using version 3.2.1.0

Hi Kjetil,

This is a known problem with XPMenus in v3.2.1.0 It has been corrected internally, and the fix is available in a private patch (v3.2.1.1) that can be requested through DirectTrac. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

The exception is thrown when my main form is disposed. After this the application is always closed down anyway. I have tried to put a try-catch handler around the dispose statement, and this avoids the exception being shown to the user. If I can trust Windows to clean up afterwards, when the application has closed this basically solves the problem. Do you think this is OK?

I am not very eager to upgrade with an internal patch since I use a lot of the products in the Syncfusion studio and I am afraid that this may break something else.

Hi Kjetil,

That workaround should work fine.
