Once again my app is crashing due to sib file

Thomas J. · Post by **Thomas J.** » Tue Jun 24, 2008 1:12 pm

Hello support,
I have again trouble with your component. I cannot create a form (runtime) due to a problem in a frame which has a TsiLangLinked component. The app is crashing AV on adress 00000000. I'm also not able to add translations to this frame and save this. If I save the changes in the Translation Editor an exception comes up
Here the log

What can I do
Thanks for your help

If you have problems saving translations from Translation Editor at design-time then it has nothing related to SIB file.
If you can reproduce this error on sample project and send it to us we will try to find the origin of the problem.

I will send you an example tomorrow.
I think the sib file is corrupt due to the problem of saving.
If I delete all entries from the frame I'm able to save.
But right now I couldn't test.

Maybe the problem comes from.
What will happen if I delete a control which has already translated properties?

The respective entry in translations will be automatically deleted upon deleting controls from form.

So I sent you the files. The problem are the Collection Strings (FieldNames). If I delete these everything is running fine. But were is the bug?

Post by **isiticov** » Wed Jun 25, 2008 7:17 am

Thank you for sending the file. I can guess that some controls (used in Collections) cause this when TsiLang updates their FieldName property. When you close Translation Editor it udpates the translation in TsiLang and TsiLang updates controls with values from active language. It is recommended to add FieldName to ExcludedProperties list to exclude such properties since they don't need to be translated. So just remove FieldName items from the Collections list and it should work.

Yes of course and that's waht I did already. But such error is a bad once. I searched 4h regarding this simple problem. And an AV should never come. And I think you can fix this problem in your suite.
Otherwise I will come in the same problem one year later. And I assume that I will not remember imidiatly.

We will try to find the origin of this problem, but I guess that this problem comes only with specific components used on your side.

Because this never beed reproted before.

FYI these components are from DevExpress.
