Recently one of my fellow developer had an issue of application crashing after making a new change.
Application keeps crashing and errors are not getting logged
While checking the Event Viewer found the following details
Event Type: Error
Event Source: .NET Runtime 2.0 Error Reporting
Event Category: None
Event ID: 5000
Date: 4/18/2011
Time: 12:52:55 PM
User: N/A
Computer: XXXXX
Description:
EventType clr20r3, P1 dataprocess.exe, P2 1.0.0.0, P3 4da27055, P4 dataprocess, P5 1.0.0.0, P6 4da27055, P7 30, P8 b, P9 system.typeinitialization, P10 NIL.
Developer spent almost more than 5 hours to troubleshoot the problem.
Finally issue was due to the Static calls
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public static String _email_DevTeam = Configuration.GetValue("Email_DevTeam").ToString(); public static String _email_SentFrom = Configuration.GetValue("Email_SentFrom").ToString(); public static String _smtp = Configuration.GetValue("smtp").ToString();
Configuration.GetValue method didn’t had Exception handling and since Static calls being made before constructor or Form_Load() Event, Exception handling code in Form didn’t work.
Developers, Beware of using Static Functions !!!
Make sure all methods are having exception handling !!!
