Configuration :: The Type Initializer For 'System.Drawing.ToolboxBitmapAttribute' Threw An Exception?
Nov 1, 2010
All of a sudden I started getting this nasty exception all over the place:
The type initializer for 'System.Drawing.ToolboxBitmapAttribute' threw an exception.
Some relevant observations: * The error started occuring a few hours after the last deployment to the live server, not immediately after. So it basically started occuring of its own accord.
* We have recently moved to a new host (a VPS). The error only occurs on that server, not our local server nor at the old host's (which was a shared environment).
* The problem is basically the same as this: [URL]
* I tried reinstalling Ajax extensions, then our website in IIS, then finally the .Net 2 framework. But the error still occurs after all this.
* The error occurs on line 1, which is just the page directive: <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs" Inherits="Test.WebForm1" %>
I'm finding it difficult to get a decent trace, but here is one that our CMS provided:

My own code doesn't use the ToolboxBitmapAttribute, but third party products like Peter Blum's and Telerik's do.
Peter Blum replied with some useful hints:
* The "type initializer" concept probably needs some research, but I'm guessing that is an important clue. A quick web search of "type initializer" finds many situations it occurs for a variety of classes.
* The stack trace suggests that this is happening as ASP.NET is compiling your web form. The error is happening as the ASP.NET parser runs. Again this is external from my code (even creating or "type initializing" the attribute is not something my code does).
i hve CRRedist2005_x86 installed in my ststem but still it give the below error
{"The type initializer for 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument' threw an exception."} {"An error has occurred while attempting to load the Crystal Reports runtime.
Either the Crystal Reports registry key permissions are insufficient or the Crystal Reports runtime is not installed correctly.
I have simple 3 tier web application and have mostly CRUDE functionalities. Recently I required to add new console application to the existing solution in which I call data layer methods for retrieving data from DB but I get an exception "The type initializer for threw an exception."When I debugged I found that the exception is thrown at datalayer on first line of class where I get connectionstring from
web.config, the code is public static readonly string CONNECT_STRING =
Now if I hardcode the connection string value like public static readonly string CONNECT_STRING = "Data Source=XYZ;uid=sa;password=XXX;initial catalog=ABC;"
it works fine.I don't understand what is the issue here as web application works fine with this datalayer.

I got a hard time with the Image.FromStream method in my website. The code below works perfect on my computer. But when I uploaded it to the test server, it always gives me "Parameter not valid" exception.
if (!afuImageFile.IsUploading && afuImageFile.HasFile) { System.Drawing.Image imgFile = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(afuImageFile.FileContent); }
the afuImageFile is an AsynFileUploader control in Ajax Tool Kits. afuImageFile.FileContent is a HttpInputStream.

I' m using a web custom control to upload images and mark them as primary. all the flow is working fine but it fails to mark images as primary in a diffrent category(there are four categories in which we can load a image-,catalog,primary,misc).It works in - category but not in others when I debug it is failing at a condition in grey .

I want to log all errors happened in my App to sql db. I'm passing all exception properties like (ex.Message, ex.Source, ex.StackTrace, ex.TargetSite and ex.InnerException) to stored procedure.
The problem is that when I try to pass the ex.InnerException as string to stored procedure I got this error:
Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Exception' to 'string'
I tried ex.InnerException.ToString() and Convert.ToString (ex.InnerException) but no success.

I've got a App_global.asax.dll and App_global.asax.complied on the subweb folder Admin.
When the Stored procedure is executed through SQL Server Management Studio, its taking 23 seconds,When the same Stored proc is called through web app, its throwing below copied exception. It is noticed that when the data is more than 100k records this exception is thrown other wise expected records are shown in UI. Another stored proc from the same app returns over 150k records without any excetpion. Can't conclude that the exception is in Stored proc, because it works from SQL Server Management studio, but throws below exception from Web app.
