Hi, I have a UserControl that has been crashing my Visual Studio all the time. So, I started another VS instance and debugged another VS, and here is what I realized:
Collection was modified after the enumerator was instantiated.
Here is my array:
private static Color[] colors =
{
Color.FromArgb(155, 188, 255),
Color.FromArgb(156, 189, 255),
Color.FromArgb(157, 188, 255),
Color.FromArgb(156, 189, 254),
};
And here is my loop that breaks the business
public Heater()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.tarTemp = this.curTemp;
new Thread(() => UpdateTemp(true)).Start();
}
private delegate void UpdateTempDelegate(bool loop);
private void UpdateTemp(bool loop)
{
if (lblTemp.InvokeRequired)
{
UpdateTempDelegate del = new UpdateTempDelegate(UpdateTemp);
lblTemp.Invoke(del, loop);
}
else
{
do
{
lblTemp.Text = curTemp + C;
if (curTemp >= 0)
{
int i = curTemp - 10;
if (i < 0)
i = 0;
if (i > colors.Length - 1)
i = colors.Length - 1;
this.BackColor = colors[i];
}
} while (loop && !this.Disposing);
}
}
The line that Visual Studio constructor produces this.BackColor = colors[i];
Here is an image of working threads:

All threads are stopped on one line ... this.BackColor = colors[i];
Here is the EventViewer crash log :

This is the strangest thing I have encountered so far. Please help me to find out.
