I get this error when trying to have a WPF application try to format a string field as a datetime object:
<DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Date, StringFormat={}{0:dd-MM-yyyy}}" Header="Date"/>
And the error I seem to be getting is:
"String was not recognized as a valid DateTime."
How do you fix this?
In my experience this error is caused by a lack of a set locale in the Window header, that is:
xml:lang="en-GB"
Or whatever is appropriate needs to be inserted into the Window header and that should fix the problem.

You can add your own custom function.You might be having a the id missing in the corresponding json.
We are struggling to import certain files into Solr occasionally. It seems like certain documents have weird meta data (values), not sure if it might be from eccentric word processor or something else. See two examples here:
Type: Solarium\Exception\HttpException
Message: Solr HTTP error: OK (400)
{"responseHeader":{"status":400,"QTime":49},"error":{"metadata":["error-class","org.apache.solr.common.SolrException","root-error-class","java.lang.NumberFormatException"],"msg":"ERROR: [doc=3932487729] Error adding field 'brightness_value'='6.18' msg=For input string: \"6.18\"","code":400}}
And
Type: Solarium\Exception\HttpException
Severity: error --> Exception: Solr HTTP error: OK (400)
{"responseHeader":{"status":400,"QTime":72},"error":{"metadata":["error-class","org.apache.solr.common.SolrException","root-error-class","java.lang.NumberFormatException"],"msg":"ERROR: [doc=16996] Error adding field 'version'='5.3.1' msg=For input string: \"5.3.1\"","code":400}}
How do we prevent these issues? We are not in control of the documents, so need to fix it on the server.
Define the field type explicitly in the schema instead of relying on Solr to create the field type for you - the first document that contains the field will make Solr guess the type of the field, and if later documents doesn't match the same, expected format, you'll get an error like this.
Always define the schema for a collection when using it in production or in an actual application - the schemaless mode is really neat for prototyping and experimenting, but in an actual application you want the types to be well defined.
I am trying to set up forms authentication on Reporting Server 2014. So far I was able to get rid of most of the errors but when trying to log in on reportserver/logon.aspx I get the following error:
An error occurred while attempting to get the ReportServer Url. Invalid namespace
I applied the following in web.config:
<add key="ReportServer" value="localhost"/>
<add key="ReportServerInstance" value="RS_SKOREPORTS"/>
The following is from my reportingservices.mof:
#pragma namespace ("\\\\.\\root\\Microsoft\\SqlServer\\ReportServer\\RS_SKOREPORTS\\V12")
I've tried several things like removing the RS_ prefix but the error remains.
EDIT:
Ok, I have come to the point where I know what's wrong by debugging everything, I just don't know how to fix it. My wmiNamespace string is adjusted for report server 2014 as follows: private const string wmiNamespace = #"\\{0}\root\Microsoft\SqlServer\ReportServer\RS_{1}\v12";
The weird thing is that when I debug the login process and put a watch on fullWmiNamespace the value it returns is:
"\\\\localhost\\root\\Microsoft\\SqlServer\\ReportServer\\RS_SKOREPORTS\\v10"
It looks like report server ignores the changes I made in AuthenticationUtilities.cs and just uses the unmodified version.
Fixed by hardcoding the wmiNamespace string. For some reason the FullWmiNamespace string didn't format the string properly..
I have a moderately complex report consisting of a lot of subreports.
One particular one is causing an issue: if you run it standalone, it works fine. If you integrate it as a subreport, it refuses to allow you to export to Excel format (from Preview), with the following error:
An error occurred during local report processing.
An error occurred during rendering of the report.
An error occurred during rendering of the report.
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Producing to any other format works fine. Most of my Googling thus far has said "Reinstall Reporting Services", which I really don't want to do (I reinstalled for a previous issue, and it took me a good day or so to get everything happy again - possibly more), especially given it's not a guaranteed fix.
I don't know if it's significant, but the reports do make us of Dundas Charts, which may make it more difficult to parse.
Anyone know a better solution?
Update:
When I try Exporting to Excel on the report server, it gives me this:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I ran into the same issue with the below statement. Everything works fine as expected except when exporting to excel.
=iif(ReportItems!textbox343.Value>ReportItems!textbox344.Value or ReportItems!textbox346.Value>ReportItems!textbox347.Value,"Yes","No")
Here is the fix. Added braces and voila voodoo magic it works.
=iif((ReportItems!textbox343.Value>ReportItems!textbox344.Value) or (ReportItems!textbox346.Value>ReportItems!textbox347.Value),"Yes","No")
I believe that the Excel export of a report containing subreports is a known issue in SSRS 2005 and is addressed in 2008. I don't know if the upgrade is an option for you?
While trying to answer a question in the vicinity 'Unit Testing WPF Bindings' I had the following niggling question..
What's the best way to find if you have WPF Data Binding wiring setup incorrectly (or you just broke something that was wired up correctly) ?
Although the unit-testing approach seems to be like Joel's 'ripping off your arm to remove a splinter'.. I am looking around for easier less Overhead ways to detect this.
Everyone seems to have committed themselves to data binding in a big way with WPF.. and it does have its merits.
In .NET 3.5 it was introduced a new way to specifically output tracing information about specific data bindings.
This is done through the new System.Diagnostics.PresentationTraceSources.TraceLevel attached property that you can apply to any binding or data provider. Here is an example:
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:diag="clr-namespace:System.Diagnostics;assembly=WindowsBase"
Title="Debug Binding Sample"
Height="300"
Width="300">
<StackPanel>
<TextBox Name="txtInput" />
<Label>
<Label.Content>
<Binding ElementName="txtInput"
Path="Text"
diag:PresentationTraceSources.TraceLevel="High" />
</Label.Content>
</Label>
</StackPanel>
</Window>
This will put trace information for just that particular binding in Visual Studio's Output Window, without any tracing configuration required.
Best I could find...
How can I debug WPF Bindings? by Beatriz Stollnitz
Since everyone can't always keep one eye on the Output Window looking for Binding errors, I loved Option#2. Which is add this to your App.Config
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<system.diagnostics>
<sources>
<source name="System.Windows.Data" switchName="SourceSwitch" >
<listeners>
<add name="textListener" />
</listeners>
</source>
</sources>
<switches>
<add name="SourceSwitch" value="All" />
</switches>
<sharedListeners>
<add name="textListener"
type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener"
initializeData="GraveOfBindErrors.txt" />
</sharedListeners>
<trace autoflush="true" indentsize="4"></trace>
</system.diagnostics>
</configuration>
Pair that up with a good regex scan script to extract out relevant info, that you can run occasionally on the GraveOfBindErrors.txt in your output folder
System.Windows.Data Error: 35 : BindingExpression path error: 'MyProperty' property not found on 'object' ''MyWindow' (Name='')'. BindingExpression:Path=MyProperty; DataItem='MyWindow' (Name=''); target element is 'TextBox' (Name='txtValue2'); target property is 'Text' (type 'String')
I use the solution presented here to turn binding errors into native Exceptions: http://www.jasonbock.net/jb/Default.aspx?blog=entry.0f221e047de740ee90722b248933a28d
However, a normal scenario in WPF bindings is to throw exceptions in case the user input cannot be converted to the target type (for instance, a TextBox bound to a integer field; the input of a non-numeric string results in a FormatException, the input of number that is too large results in an OverflowException). A similar case is when the Setter of the source property throws an exception.
The WPF way of handling this is via ValidatesOnExceptions=true and ValidationExceptionRule to signal the user the supplied input is not correct (using the exception message).
However, these exception are also send to the output window and thus 'caught' by the BindingListener, resulting in an error...clearly not the behaviour you'd want.
Therefore, I expanded the BindingListener class to NOT throw an Exception in these cases:
private static readonly IList<string> m_MessagesToIgnore =
new List<String>()
{
//Windows.Data.Error 7
//Binding transfer from target to source failed because of an exception
//Normal WPF Scenario, requires ValidatesOnExceptions / ExceptionValidationRule
//To cope with these kind of errors
"ConvertBack cannot convert value",
//Windows.Data.Error 8
//Binding transfer from target to source failed because of an exception
//Normal WPF Scenario, requires ValidatesOnExceptions / ExceptionValidationRule
//To cope with these kind of errors
"Cannot save value from target back to source"
};
Modified lines in public override void WriteLine(string message):
....
if (this.InformationPropertyCount == 0)
{
//Only treat message as an exception if it is not to be ignored
if (!m_MessagesToIgnore.Any(
x => this.Message.StartsWith(x, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase)))
{
PresentationTraceSources.DataBindingSource.Listeners.Remove(this);
throw new BindingException(this.Message,
new BindingExceptionInformation(this.Callstack,
System.DateTime.Parse(this.DateTime),
this.LogicalOperationStack, int.Parse(this.ProcessId),
int.Parse(this.ThreadId), long.Parse(this.Timestamp)));
}
else
{
//Ignore message, reset values
this.IsFirstWrite = true;
this.DetermineInformationPropertyCount();
}
}
}
You can use the trigger debugging feature of WPF Inspector. Just download the tool from codeplex and attach it to your running app. It also shows binding errors on the bottom of the window.
Very useful tool!
Here's a useful technique for debugging/tracing triggers effectively. It allows you to log all trigger actions along with the element being acted upon:
http://www.wpfmentor.com/2009/01/how-to-debug-triggers-using-trigger.html
This was very helpful to us but I wanted to add to those who find this useful that there is a utility that Microsoft provides with the sdk to read this file.
Found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms732023.aspx
To open a trace file
1.Start Service Trace Viewer by using a command window to navigate to your
WCF installation location (C:\Program
Files\Microsoft
SDKs\Windows\v6.0\Bin), and then type
SvcTraceViewer.exe. (although we found ours in \v7.0\Bin)
Note: The Service Trace Viewer tool
can associate with two file types:
.svclog and .stvproj. You can use two
parameters in command line to register
and unregister the file extensions.
/register: register the association of
file extensions ".svclog" and
".stvproj" with SvcTraceViewer.exe
/unregister: unregister the
association of file extensions
".svclog" and ".stvproj" with
SvcTraceViewer.exe
1.When Service Trace Viewer starts, click File and then point to Open.
Navigate to the location where your
trace files are stored.
2.Double-click the trace file that you want to open.
Note: Press SHIFT while clicking
multiple trace files to select and
open them simultaneously. Service
Trace Viewer merges the content of all
files and presents one view. For
example, you can open trace files of
both client and service. This is
useful when you have enabled message
logging and activity propagation in
configuration. In this way, you can
examine message exchange between
client and service. You can also drag
multiple files into the viewer, or use
the Project tab. See the Managing
Project section for more details.
3.To add additional trace files to the collection that is open, click File
and then point to Add. In the window
that opens, navigate to the location
of the trace files and double-click
the file you want to add.
Also, as for the filtering of the log file, we found these this link extremely helpful:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms751526.aspx
For anyone like me looking for a pure programmatic way of enabling all WPF Tracing at a given Trace Level, here is a piece of code that does it. For reference, it's based on this article: Trace sources in WPF.
It doesn't requires a change in the app.config file, and it does not require to change the registry either.
This is how I use it, in some startup place (App, etc.):
....
#if DEBUG
WpfUtilities.SetTracing();
#endif
....
And here is the utility code (by default it sends all Warning to the Default Trace Listener):
public static void SetTracing()
{
SetTracing(SourceLevels.Warning, null);
}
public static void SetTracing(SourceLevels levels, TraceListener listener)
{
if (listener == null)
{
listener = new DefaultTraceListener();
}
// enable WPF tracing
PresentationTraceSources.Refresh();
// enable all WPF Trace sources (change this if you only want DataBindingSource)
foreach (PropertyInfo pi in typeof(PresentationTraceSources).GetProperties(BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Public))
{
if (typeof(TraceSource).IsAssignableFrom(pi.PropertyType))
{
TraceSource ts = (TraceSource)pi.GetValue(null, null);
ts.Listeners.Add(listener);
ts.Switch.Level = levels;
}
}
}
My suggestion at 2021:
The Best way is to use Benoit Blanchon small library from Nuget
His original post at here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/19610384/6296708
His GitHub link and more info about how to use it + Nuget command: https://github.com/bblanchon/WpfBindingErrors
Its features (until now!):
throw exception on binding errors (+ line number)
If source Variable throw any exceptions, this library will catch it and show it.
Unit Test supports too!
Happy Coding!
