Got an error today: EventType clr20r3, P1...

  • Article

Today after I compiled my winform program in Windows XP with .NET Framework 2.0, I copied the assembly to another Windows 2003 ENT Server. When I run this program in W2k3 server, nothing responded, and following message is created in Application Events.

EventType clr20r3, P1 steprecorder.exe, P2 1.0.302.0, P3 440bee00, P4 steprecorder, P5 1.0.302.0, P6 440bee00, P7 39, P8 f, P9 system.missingmethodexception, P10 NIL.

So hard-reading log message :-( what could I get from it?

I searched from Internet but got nothing useful. Seems "clr20r3..." type event could be triggerred by many reasons.

But I found that the further issue is that if a machine with VS2005 installed (whether winxp or w2k3), the program could run properly, or it will fail. It is so strange, is it a VS2005 bug?

At last I found the clause cause this issue. When I drag and drop a list view control in a form, VS2005 will auto generate the related clauses, one of them caused this failure.

            //
// testcaseListView
//
this.testcaseListView.Columns.AddRange(new System.Windows.Forms.ColumnHeader[] {
this.numberColumnHeader,
this.titleColumnHeader,
this.testpathColumnHeader,
this.bitmapColumnHeader,
this.dirtyColumnHeader,
this.psCaseIDColumnHeader,
this.lastModifiedHeader});
this.testcaseListView.ContextMenuStrip = this.listViewContextMenuStrip;
this.testcaseListView.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Left;
this.testcaseListView.FullRowSelect = true;
this.testcaseListView.GridLines = true;
this.testcaseListView.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0);
this.testcaseListView.Name = "testcaseListView";
this.testcaseListView.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(509, 162);
this.testcaseListView.TabIndex = 0;
//this.testcaseListView.UseCompatibleStateImageBehavior = false;
this.testcaseListView.View = System.Windows.Forms.View.Details;

There is nothing in MSDN to explain this property, but say it is new in .NET 2.0.

After I comment the red one, the application program could run on other winxp/win2k3 machine successfully.

    I also just saw that one. I think UseCompatibleStateImageBehavior was added between revision 7 and 42(RTM), so maybe you have a late RC of the .NET Framework installed?

    Hello Just fixed a similar problem. I had 3 unmanaged dll's, 2 of them compiled with no support for ATL and one with. Because of the one with support for atl, my service won't start. Recompiled the funcky dll without suport for atl and everithing works now. Maybe this helps.

    Seems there are several reasons cause this issue. If it is possible, you could narrow down the suspected code block to investigate which statement make the error happen. When I got this issue, I had no idea from the error message but commented off the suspected code to narrow down the issue.

    This error may come from many reasons, what I post is only one of them. If you don't have other methods, maybe you could comment some doubtable functions, to see if this error occurs. If this error disappears, you could continue to narrow down to the reason. This is not a smart way, but it may be useful:-D Elton

    I saw this error in the eventviewer. In my situation it only was due to the structure of the app.exe.config which was not XML-valid (manual copy/paste). The error dis-appeared after correcting the config file

    I get the same error but totally random.  I have a .Net app running from the scheduled task.  It always works when ran manually.  Fails about 50% of the time when scheduled.  If you watch it fail when scheduled then go and run it, it works.  Clueless.

That sounds like a permissions issue that corrects itself when run interactively - or when a user is logged into the machine.

    I found that my GUI application indirectly references an "SMDiagnostics.dll" which is a COM dll (shipped with .net 3.0). I copied that file to the user's machine and registered. Afterwards, my app started working properly.

    I have just fixed such an error up with my Windows Service that I needed to install on MS Windows Server 2003 STD. The server had .Net Framework 2.0 showing in Add?Remove Programs. I realize it came as part of SQL Express. This is not enough to run custom .Net based applications. So after I added the regular .Net Framework 2.0 redistributable as part of my install package all worked. (In MS VS 2005 use Prerequisites from install proj properties to have the .Net 2 downloaded from the same location for instance). Regards, Arthur

    I am getting a similar error but the circumstances are significantly different. I have an option to pass the query string parameters to the program. Whenever I invoke the application without the query string parameters, everything works perfectly. Every time I pass a query string parameter, it blows up on me and gives an InvalidCastException. I have no idea why this happens. I tried everything. Any ideas?

    I get the same error in a windows service. It seems like this is some catch all error id, and can have many underlying causes. THE REAL ISSUE IS: I have exception handling code in my service, that ought to catch all exceptions and leave the service running. This problem is not caught and the service stops. This happens maybe once a day on a remote server and not in development, so it is not easy to debug.

    I get this error clr20r3 and the windows service was stopping. Since it is hard to debug, I just noticed that there is a recovery tab when we select the service properties. I set the recovery steps on first failure, second failure and subsequest failures to restart the sevice after 1 minute. Hoepfully it should take care of the issue for now untill i debug this.

    looking at my .csproj file I notice reference include section was pointing to .net v1.1 DLL's. I manually changed it to point to .net 2.0 DLL's and changed "this.lvOrderItems.UseCompatibleStateImageBehavior = true" back to false and no crashes. So it seems sharpdevelop was compiling to .net 1.1 instead of 2 even tho I have 2.0 selected in project options. I only have .net 2.0 installed on the test machine, while the develoopment machine has both 1.1 and 2.0. My SharpDevelop installation must be messedup.

    mostafa, seems you have the same issue with me. In my case, it is the property "UseCompatibleStateImageBehavior" of ListView causes the issue, you may try to find if you have this property used in your code. If it doesn't work, you may comment some doubtful codes to find which statement causes the issue.

    This error can occur for a number of reasons, but the most important fact is that it is an unhandled exception. Make sure you have global (catch all) exception handlers as the exception may not be on the main application thread. There are a number of ways to do this but the simplist is to wrap the Application.Run in a try catch block: [STAThread] static void Main(string[] args) { #if DEBUG            Application.Run(new Form1()); #else            try            {                Application.Run(new Form1()););            }            catch (Exception ex)            {                //write error to log            } #endif } Another way is to use the ThreadException event: Application.ThreadException += new ThreadExceptionEventHandler(                Application_ThreadException);

    Hi Everyone, After quite an effort we were able to fix clr20r3 error we were getting with our C# project distribution. We were using a .ocx file which if not registered on target machines will give us that error. In C# setup project, simply go into the properties of respective .ocx/.dll and select ....COM under Register, rebuild and you should be OK with your distribution.

    Just ran into the same error. After reading this blog and some links I thought it would be a good Idea to recreate the whole project. (glad it's a small one :) ) Cecking the code one more last time I discovered that the Dependency to the dot net framework was missing. Hoping this would solve the probel I recreated the setup project. Unfortunately it did not solve the problem. I now have to wrap the code in try catch structures to get a better error One thing I want to add after reading all the posts is that independend on what dot net yuo develop on (I work now with VS2008 using 3.5) this error must be caused by a call to a dll from the 2.x framework. the frameworks do NOT replace each other but add functionality. So even building in 3.5 will make you use 2.0 if the fucntionality belongs to 2.0

    I had this sort of error today (system.servicemodel in P4) and it was because my user's permissions had been altered, moved from the Local Admin group to Power User. You might like to check/update your permissions if you encounter this again.

    I had the same error, and it occured while running a windows service on windows server 2003. After trying many of the suggestions in this thread, a co-worker thought it might be a permissions issue. He was corect. If you are getting this while running a service on server 2003, make sure you have the proper permissions/security access/admin privlidges.

    Hi. I also faced the similar issue, I was getting error while even opening/exporting the dts package from the sql server. I got to know the issue when i checked the event log corresponding to this error. There i could see the same error log as above. In my case the issue was that Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDts.dll (the correct version 9.0 something required for sql server 2005 ) was by mistake deleted. but thankfully i got it from recycle bin. Restored it and there i go.
