We're running in a Citrix and RDP environment running on Windows Server 2003. We're starting to run into random and difficult to reproduct "Error creating window handle" error that seems to be an old fashion handle leak in our application. We're making heavy use of 3rd Party controls (Janus GridEX, Infralution VirtualTree, and .NET Magic docking) and we do a lot of dynamic loading and rendering of content based on metadata in our database. There's a lot of info on Google about this error, but not a lot of solid guidance about how to avoid issues in this area. Does the stackoverflow community have any good guidance for me for building handle-friendly winforms apps? .net winforms handles share|improve this question edited Feb 27 '13 at 8:15 Kiquenet 5,0672486148 asked Sep 18 '08 at 0:26 user8133 141125 See also [this post of mine about "Error creating window handle"][1] and how it relates to USER Objects and the Desktop Heap.

Here are some general hints: alot of the time, a control will stay in use because controls events are not properly removed (the tooltip provider caused us really large issues here) or the controls are not properly Disposed. use 'using' blocks around all modal dialogs to ensure that they are Disposed there are some control properties that will force the creation

Crashing Application Windows Forms > Windows Forms General Question 0 Sign in to vote Hello, I have a C#.NET application that has been in use since July and the one remaining bug is that it will lock up and shut down on the users. The exceptions are always somewhat different, but have one thing in common: "Error creating window handle." I just don't know where to start on this one because it is not reproducable, and there does not seem to be any trend in the source of the error. It seems to happen randomly in different classes all over the app. I can post sample exceptions if needed. Has anyone had this problem? Thanks Thursday, November 08, 2007 4:43 PM Reply | Quote Answers 0 Sign in to vote It's hard to tell from the handle usage of one application whether the except

I'd say the form's resource file has become corrupted. You could try right-clicking the form in the Solution Explorer and selecting Exclude From Project, then right-clicking the project and selecting Add Existing Item to re-add the form to the project and (hopefully) regenerate the resource file. If this doesn't work, you could do the same thing again but this time delete the RESX file for the form before re-adding it. You might want to make a backup copy of the solution folder before trying this, just in case. 2007-2016 Why is my data not saved to my database? | MSDN Data Walkthroughs MSDN "How Do I?"
