UnhandledException while fetching a dll from isolated storage in silverlight5 - silverlight

I am trying to develop one silverlight app which will save and retrieve a dll from isolated storage.
For example I have downloaded and saved System.Drawing.dll into isolated storage if it not exists in isolated storage. But if it exists in isolated storage, i am trying fetch that dll from isolated storage and then creating a object of that System.Drawing to draw a rectangle over captured image. But the problem is after fetching that dll it will return the following error.

Please let me know the solution for this error.

As far as I know it is not possible to reference a .NET assembly from Silverlight, regardless of whether the DLL is located in isolated storage or not. From a Silverlight application you should only be able to reference Silverlight DLL:s or, if you are using P/Invoke functionality in SL 5, unmanaged DLL:s.
If you want to draw a rectangle in a captured (bitmap) image, you could instead download and reference the third-party library writablebitmapex and use the one of the rectangle drawing methods from that library. The writeablebitmapex library is available for Silverlight and WP7 applications as well as for WPF and Metro applications.
You should be able to do something similar to this:
var captImg = new BitmapImage(new Uri("capturedimage.jpg", UriKind.Relative));
var editCaptImg = new WriteableBitmap(captImg);
// Draw rectangle starting at (5,5), 100 px wide, 150 px high and color red
editCaptImg.DrawRectangle(5, 5, 100, 150, Colors.Red);

Why am I getting "Unable to load the specified metadata resource" error?

I have an MVC5 web application which I usually develop using my laptop.
I am trying to get the app running on my main machine at home for home-working days but have a problem connecting to the local dev database on SQL Server - when I start the app I get the following error:
More info 30/11/16:
Note that the model is generated from EDML using Entity Developer
Unable to load the specified metadata resource. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
The solution consists of 2 projects, one of which is an entity model project which is generated from EDMX.
Note: On my main machine (where it isn't working) the connection string in Web.config is the same as the machine where it works except for Data Source which refers to the SQL Server name on the main machine - I have checked this is correct several times:
I have read several Stack Overflow posts with similar issues - most point to something wrong with the path to the csdl, ssdl, msl part of the connection string.
I have:
Checked the server name is correct in the connection string
Checked the database name is correct in the connection string
Checked the database exists and is available
Checked each of the three files are where the connection string says they are (they are)
Tried using wildcard in the connection string: res://*/dllname.csdl|res://*/dllname.ssdl|res://*/dllname.msl
Update 30/11/2016:
From the suggestions in this link I have:
Checked the MetadataArtifactProcessing property - it is not set to Copy to Output directory
Checked the connection string
We don't have a post-compile task
From the suggestion in this link I have tried setting the connection string connectionString="metadata=res://*/;

Error after upgrading from DNN 7.0 to 7.4.1 (Version Upgrade package)

After completing an upgrade to DNN 7.4 I get the error outlined below. Everything went smoothly and there were no errors in the install log. This happens on any page, and there are no new dependencies on Visual Studio I presume...

Any ideas what I'm missing or what might be happening?
So this issue ended up being a custom DLL found in the BIN folder of the DNN website that Ryan was upgrading.
My non-scientific approach to resolving this was to:
Remove DLLS in bulk in the BIN folder (keep a copy of the DLLs as you aren't sure which one is the problem, put them back after testing)
Load the site (using admin/site settings page)
See if page still errored, if so, repeat steps 1 and 2
Ends up the DLL that was causing the problem was I believe a webservice/api URL for testing. Removing that corrected the issue on the 7.3.4 instance of DNN that they were using.

Strange error I cannot track down. C# .Net 4.0 Client Profile WIndows XP

When I try to load a windows forms application on a Windows XP system I get the following error which is captured in the ThreadExceptionEventArgs event.
This form works perfectly fine on a Windows 7 PC and is written in .Net 4.0 Client Profile.
C#
Just to clarify this errors out before the form even shows on the screen. I have been trying to track this issue down for a few days now and I cannot seem to figure it out. I did verify that the XP machine does infact have .net 4.0 Client Profile installed on it. Is there something else that this can be in regards to XP and .net 4.0

You are having a problem with an icon you used in the form. Typically the Form.Icon property.
XP has limited support for icons, you cannot use the kind of "fancy" icons that work on Vista and up. In particular, it can't be bigger than 256x256 and it can't be the kind that use a PNG image.

Random InvalidOperationException on application startup

I am experiencing a problem at application startup from time to time on production machines. It doesn't happen every time the application starts, and apparently it only happens on reboot. The application is started from login, added to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run.
Apparently, the problem is more frequent when resetting the machine, than during a reboot. Starting the application manually after it crashes is successful.
The following exception is thrown during startup:
Initialization of 'System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock' threw an exception.
System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException: Initialization of 'System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock' threw an exception. ---> System.InvalidOperationException: The calling thread cannot access this object because a different thread owns it.

As seen from the StackTrace, there is something going on while updating style cache. I haven't been able to reproduce this on my own computer. There are no threads involved here while starting the application, but there are a few AppDomains. The origin of the exception is not always the same, but it is exactly the same from Application.LoadComponent(Object component, Uri resourceLocator)
Because our application needs to find the configuration file from a different location than the executable (..\ProgramData....) depending on the OS, we use a separate AppDomain where we instruct it where to look for the configuration file, as we could not find any better solution of telling ConfigurationManager where to look for the file. It could of course, be related to this, though not necessarily. EDIT: ConfigurationManager.OpenMappedExeConfiguration Doesn't seem to work, as it won't refresh any user or application settings accessed through Properties.Settings.Default, etc.
Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations on how to deal with this? Sorry I am not able to provide you with a sample to reproduce with.
That exception was because you are modifying a visual element from a thread that is not the visual one. I know this because in the first line of your exception it said:
Initialization of 'System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock' threw an exception. System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException: Initialization of 'System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock' threw an exception. ---> System.InvalidOperationException: The calling thread cannot access this object because a different thread owns it.
All the rest of the exception doesn't matter. I think it is when you are loading the initial configuration, then you use other thread. The random behavior could be that some time you find the configuration before the TextBlock control is loaded, so this times the exception will no be thrown.
To solve this please take a look to this question, and the last answer that I give (the one that use the SynchronizationContext, that really works with WPF application that use several threads). If is not clear comment and I will write the solution here.
Hope this answer helps to find that random error, its are the worsts...
I'm not sure what is causing this exception but I there is a workaround to your problem.
Instead of creating a separate AppDomain just for loading a different configuration file, you could use ConfigurationManager.OpenMappedExeConfiguration which allows you to load any .config file from anywhere in your local file system.
You use it like this:
//Map the new configuration file.
var configFileMap = new ExeConfigurationFileMap() { ExeConfigFilename = #"c:\myOther.config"};
//Get the mapped configuration file
System.Configuration.Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenMappedExeConfiguration(configFileMap, ConfigurationUserLevel.None);
Use config.GetSection() to get specific sections for read-only use or directly the config object to change the configuration at run-time.
And you will not need the different AppDomain which will mean faster startup time :)
Getting rid of the extra AppDomain used to specify configuration file, and replacing it with the method specified in this link took care of the problem.

The vs2008 designer for reports and report viewer are not backwards compatible with 2.0. In the same way you cannot design 2005 reports with vs2008 - that may be your issue.
I had something similar once. You might want to make sure the test machine has the ReportViewer dll installed in the GAC. Microsoft has created an installer to make this easier.
Question: Are you using Reporting Services in local mode with a report viewer control inside winforms?
My installer copies all required dlls
Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common.dll
Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel.dll
Microsoft.ReportViewer.Winforms.dll
to ProgramFiles/myAppname folder.
It works perfectly on Vista/XP but the issue is at Win98.
I'll try to install these dll's at GAC, maybe that's a problem. I'm trying to avoid running extra installers inside my installer.
#keithwarren7:
if that's true, then it's really stupid. do you know any simple & free report engine for .net 2.0?
