I am getting error reports from users who are logging in remotely to application. The app works fine until when they come back to the office and log directly to their desktops - the app crashes and the error report is a standard 'Freezable cannot be frozen' but none of the known workarounds are fixing this one.
Every single Brush resource in the app is decorated with ice:Freeze:
<SolidColorBrush ice:Freeze="true"
Also the exception is thrown as a domain unhandled exception so there is now way to swallow it.
Over the last couple of months I spent hours analyzing reported issues with Freezables bot cannot find any solution.
.NET code where the problem happens:
/// <summary>
/// Unbinds a Freezable from its Context.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="resource">The resource to freeze.</param>
private static void Freeze(object resource)
{
Freezable freezable = resource as Freezable;
if (freezable != null && !freezable.IsFrozen)
{
freezable.Freeze();
}
}
