Syncfusion 5.1 dashboard crashing

[Omar]

When I try to launch the "Windows Forms Samples" from the Syncfusion 5.1 Dashboard, the dashboard crashes with the following exception details;

System.NullReferenceException was unhandled
Message="Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
Source="SampleBrowser"
StackTrace:

Thought it could be worth mentioning that my development machine runs Windows2003-R2 (Standard)

Hi Omar,

I was able to see the samplebrowser issue in the above said machine configuration.

I am working on this issue and will update you with more details in the next 24 hours.

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion EssentialStudio.

I have the same configuration, and the same problem. If you have a fix, please let me know.

Hi Martin/Omar,

Please download the samplebrowser.exe from the below link.

http://www.syncfusion.com/Support/user/uploads/samplebrowser_245a2df7.zip

Replace the downloaded samplebrowser.exe in the following location.

[Installed Drive]:\Program Files\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\5.1.0.51\Infrastructure\SampleBrowser\2.0

Now run the samplebrowser from the dashboard.

Please let me know if this solves your issue.

Thanks,
Ramu
