I have a project in VB.NET that creates a byte array of an image input then creates a file of the image in .jpg format. Here is the code:
Dim fileWriter As New System.IO.FileStream(filePath,System.IO.FileMode.Create)
fileWriter.Write(imageBuf, 0, imageBuf.Length)
fileWriter.Close()
Once the code runs, I get the following error right after the second line executes:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
Additional information: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
I did take a look at similar posts on this site, however none of them seems to be relevant to mine. I would appreciate your input.
Thank you.

When exceptions occur in a UIPath project I have an email that is sent out with the exception info included. There seems to be an issue though where I can only see where the error occured by looking at the selector information such as:
Cannot find the UI element corresponding to this selector:
<html app='chrome.exe' title='Microsoft Dynamics GP' />
<webctrl aaname='Add' idx='1'
parentid='a00000000000000008549000000030009000000000001000000000000' tag='DIV' />
This info and the stack trace or any other info is not really helpful for quickly finding the source of the problem. I have looked through the UIPath documentation and forum and found only the this question, which seemed to point to using the exception.Source to show the name of the activity where the error occurred. exception.Source only returns “UiPath.Core.Activities” though instead of "Type into Copy Job# 'INPUT'" in the following example:
This obviously causes a big problem with exception handling. How can I easily return the source with each exception?
When your selector fails, you will end up with a new object of type UiPath.Core.SelectorNotFoundException. However, until the team at UiPath decides to add the Display Name into the inner exception, there is little you can do in this particular case.
Take the following example - the first line shows the Inner Exception, and the second one in red is essentially just the exception being rethrown. Note that only the latter one contains the Display Name property.
The Source itself will usually be of type UiPath.Core.Activities, but since this is just the type's name, we don't have any link to the faulting object. Here's what you can do:
Add some details to your exception. You don't want to do this for each activity, but you could have certain blocks of try-catches (example: logging into the system consists of three individual activites, and they reside in one block).
Rethrow the exception. That way the Display Name will end up in the execution log file.
I have the following code which used to work and now no longer works:
collectionUri = New Uri(txtServerName.Text)
Dim tpc As New TfsTeamProjectCollection(collectionUri)
workItemStore = tpc.GetService(Of WorkItemStore)()
teamProject = workItemStore.Projects(txtProjectName.Text)
When my application hits the line: workItemStore = tpc.GetService(Of WorkItemStore)() I get the following error:
ArgumentException occurred
A first chance exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
Additional information:
Requested value 'Information' was not found.
{System.ArgumentException: Requested value 'Information' was not found. at System.Enum.EnumResult.SetFailure(ParseFailureKind failure, String failureMessageID, Object failureMessageFormatArgument)}
I have uninstalled and re-installed Visual Studio 2013 ... same results. I have tried the application on another computer and it works just fine so I know my code is good.
I haven't touched this app in a few months so I'm not certain what would have changed. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Using Visual Studio 2008 and generating .net 2.0 framework with VB.net for a web application.
I encountered a very strange problem currently. After I build a solution and click a link in a web page, I got an error message as following. The same thing happened when I tried to run in debug mode.
*************************************** ERROR Message ******************************************************
"An exception of type 'System.InvalidCastException' occurred in Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll but was not handled in user code"
"Additional information: Operator '=' is not defined for type 'DBNull' and string "". "
*******************************************************************************************************************
The problem part is simply as below in a vb file. The value of dataview(0)(“name”) is NULL and my_name is a variable string. The strange is thing I didn't change any code in this vb file. This vb file was built previously and used for a long time ago without any problem. It just suddenly happened today. I have this syntax all over the program without causing any problem. I have tried to restore the whole solution back to original but still have the problem.
Can anyone please advise why all the sudden and how to fix?
If dataview(0)(“name”) = my_name then …
Try to determine NULL value first ..
If NOT IsDBNull(dataview(0)(“name”)) Then
If dataview(0)(“name”) = my_name then
'codes here
End If
End If
I changed the icon of my VB.net program and now it is throwing errors.
I get this error when I try run the program:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException' occurred in mscorlib.dll Additional information: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
and it won't let me back into the designer to try and restore the original icon. It shows a page with this message on the Ford Design page:
To prevent possible data loss before loading the designer, the following errors must be resolved:
The parameter is incorrect
Instances of this error (1)

Any suggestions? At this point I just want to figure out how to restore the old icon and get going on my program again!
Try
Remove the line Me.Icon = ....
In order to add new icon just go to your designer on properties window and add the icon you want.
I've been using DotNetZip for a month or so now and i like how it has worked but today my program started having a new issue that I'm clueless on.
During the zipping process it throws this error up and windows displays their "program name has stopped working" box.

From your comments, I take that what happened is exactly what happened to me a while ago.
I was getting a list of files to zip and stored into memory. The I would go zipping them one by one until this exception was thrown. The cause was someone removed the file after I got the list, but before I got the opportunity to zip it. This occured on a shared folder, btw.
