Created Application Crashes

[Tigamax]

I build an application using Software Builder (which goes o.k.) then run it and I get the Win error dialog;

EventType : clr20r3 P1 : softwaremaker.client.exe P2 : 1.0.0.0
P3 : 47ef6cae P4 : system P5 : 2.0.0.0 P6 : 4333ae87 P7 : 1add
P8 : 74 P9 : system.uriformatexception


I don't bother telling Microsoft about the problem(:-), then I close the dialog.
I'm using XP SP2.
I did have problems using a .ico file - the editor would not accept the format. Strange, because I use it on my site - no problems.
I notice that even though I removed the .ico, it still turns up for the project output.
I've now got an Image Conversion Error dialog when I open the project (prior to editing, or compile);

System.ArgumentException: Parameter is not valid.
at System.Drawing.Bitmap..ctor(String filename)
at Profit.TigerSystems.GraphicConverter.Converter.Con vertImage(String path)

I did not use a logo file either.
I did include a splash image.
I did include 3x .gif images.

This is a very basic attempt to store 4 text and 3 memo fields.

You need a icon. Try adding a icon first.

Using a icon on your site isn't the same as using it in this software. It is totally unrelated. If the icon has a lot of layers, it will crash.

I think this is the older version. Where did you purchase from?


Thanks.

I thought the .ICO only had one layer...
What's the best app to create one with?

Where?
I got it from Ken Reno.
So does that mean I'm screwed unless I buy an upgrade?

I ran into the same problem with my .ico files, so I went looking for software to let me produce my own icons.

I found this resource:

I DLed the first one:

And was able to convert one of my graphics into an icon that worked and played well with TigerProSoftwareBuilder

You can use the free software program called GIMP.

Just open the image and save as ico file. Make sure there isn't any layers with it.

I got IcoFX, saved the icon, used it. Now no errors when project opens, or during creation of the .exe, or even during installation. I run the program and wait a while, during which time nothing much happens (I hate software that does that!), then I get prompted to send an error report to Microsoft. Uninstall of my created application worked o.k.
