Windows Phone crashes in Release - visual-studio

I have made a Windows Phone application with Xamarin and Mvvmcross. When debugging the application it works perfectly. So the application was uploaded to the app store. but when the application got downloaded and run from the store it shut down immidiately after the icon gets clicked. So now i found out that the application does not work when running it on a device in release mode. (on a emulator it works fine).
First i got this exception
Error 1 Error : DEP6810 : MdilXapCompile.exe failed with error code 1004. See log file '~project.WinPhone\obj\Release\MDIL\MDILXapCompileLog.txt' for more details.
in this file there was an error
Compile filter argument specified non-existent file: ~project.WinPhone\obj\Release\MSIL\nl-NL\project.resources.dll
Invalid argument
This error made it unable to deploy the application to the device in release mode. I still have no idea why i got this error and how i am supposed to solve it. But i found a form of workaround by creating a 'nl-NL' map in the MSIL and adding the resource.dll to it. This made it able to deploy the application.
But when deploying the application in this state it crashed immediately. with the native debugger i could get it to break. it gave me this exception
Unhandled exception at 0x775E062F (COMBASE.DLL) in project.WinPhone.exe: 0xC000027B: An application-internal exception has occurred (parameters: 0x04F80AB8, 0x00000006).
Clicking on the Disassembly it had it's pointer on this line
77808534 bl SignalStartWerSvc (777FED78h)
It probably has something to do with my localizedresources, where i define some .resx files for filling the app with text. I did find out that this is causing me some problem with WP but i am not sure what i could do against it, i cannot use .resw files as have been suggested.
Has anyone ever had this sort of issue before and does anyone know how to solve it? It is keeping me from placing a working application on the app store, which is really frustrating.
Thank you in advance

Why does a generic UWP app show an error?

I created a simple UWP app from the VS 2017 blank UWP template. No added XAML or C# code-behind:
Create new app with Blank Universal Windows template
Set Debugger type to Mixed (Managed and Native)
Build and Run (No XAML or code added)
Following error: WinRT originate error - 0x80070490 : 'Element not found.'
This happens every time. Does anyone have a handle on this error? If I don't have Mixed Mode debugging on, I don't see the error but I'm assuming it's still there. Is this an error that I should be concerned about?
Thank you.
A lot of problem may result this error, and it should not be a fatal error in your case. Most likely you changed the default Exception Settings in visual studio.
Just like all other apps, Windows use exceptions and catch them at different level.
For end user, you should not see this exception and app should not crash.
In your situation, I think you click continue and the program should not crash, and it should not be a big concern.
I suggest you:
1, start and debug your app, open Debug|Windows|Exception Setting, then click the 'restore the list to default settings' button
2, restart your app.
3, You should not catch the exception, but you still see error message in Output window.
If you still see a exception window popup, you need to post more information like your os version, and then someone can help you
I met this error when I call the winRT api CommunityToolkit.WinUI.Notifications.ToastNotificationHistoryCompat.Clear(). Then let the app toast someting once the error had gone.

dot net web Application crashes with encrypted message everytime

I just configured my Visual studio 2010 with IIS express 8.0. It works perfectly but in case of any error in my code it is showing me crash page in encrypted format (Meaning - It shows full of boxes and some special characters). So every time i need to go event viewer to check the issue. Can you please help me in this?
This is how the message looks:

I just resolved the issue. Initially my application was working in integrated mode. I tried it with classic app pool and it started showing the real error message :-)

Windows Phone 8 : "The drive cannot locate a specific area or track on the disk."

I get following message when I try to add "Periodic Task" to "ScheduledActionService" in Windows Phone 8 Application.
"The drive cannot locate a specific area or track on the disk."
I am really not sure if this is related to Visual Studio 2012 that I am using or related to Periodic Tasks on Windows Phone 8.
The same piece of code works fine in Windows Phone 7.
I found the solution here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-us/wpdevelop/thread/a973955e-0981-4be8-8ac0-8dfcb9dc2917/
You need to manually update your WPAppManifest.xml file and configure the background task there.
Appears to be normal behavior, not related to emulator or debugging.
There is a excellent explanation as to what is required by microsoft for background task in the msdn tutorial videos.
It references your problem at around 24:30 with editing the WPAppManifest.xml file.
He explains step by step what needs to be done and why.
http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/Windows-Phone-8-Development-for-Absolute-Beginners/Part-34-Creating-a-Background-Agent-for-Scheduled-Tasks
Also I got a null reference exception after fixing the WPAppManifest.xml when called from the the main project, turns out the main project also has to reference the scheduler project (even if not using anything in it).
You have to add the ScheduledTaskAgent as a Reference to the main project.
I found this in the WPDT Notes
Runtime exception occurs when an application attempts to use a launcher/chooser in Microsoft.Phone.Tasks to call an application that is not present in the Emulator home screen. The following error string is displayed, “The drive cannot locate a specific area or track on the disk.” Workaround: Do not use the launcher/chooser or catch this exception.

error: Exception Exception in module c:\process\ XXXX.exe at 00017D6B Decompression Error

For some reason as soon as I login into my PC, I get this error in Windows 7 Ultimate:
http://i51.tinypic.com/b9go6g.png
Any ideas how to get rid of this error and why is it poppoing up?
Find where this application came from (looking at the contents of files in c:\process and in the control panel will help, if not, you can search for that XXXX thing in the registry using regedit).
Then repair or reinstall it. Or uninstall it completely.
Or, if you're brave enough, debug it. For that you should start looking at the contents of the Windows event log and what Process Monitor(separate, downloadable tool) shows -- see what errors you get there for this process, they may give you some clues. Finally, you may even run it under a debugger (e.g. WinDbg, also separate from Windows and downloadable).

adding/removing a file in VS2010 causes "WebDev.WebServer20.exe has stopped working" error

This is driving us crazy... In VS2010, MVC2 projects, not all projects.... both on a project that was upgraded from 2008/mvc1 and on a brand new project created within 2010/MVC2, we have the following behavior:
1) develop as normal..
2) hit F5 or CTRL-F5 to open up a browser
3) works great!
4) add a CSS file (or JS file or any file, or remove any file) in the project
5) immediately the dialog pops up "WebDev.WebServer20.exe has stopped working"
You have to close the program, and "F5" again - and all is right with the world...
Say we then modify an existing css file. No problem. But adding or removing one, immediate crash.
It seems like the development webserver is "locked on" to the project file and when it detects a change, it dies.
The Event Viewer is pretty unhelpful. The following is logged:
Faulting application WebDev.WebServer20.exe, version 10.0.30319.1, time stamp 0x4ba204ca, faulting module KERNEL32.dll, version 6.0.6001.18215, time stamp 0x49953395, exception code 0xe053534f, fault offset 0x000442eb, process id 0x%9, application start time 0x%10.
This is happening on all of our developer workstations, which include some with Windows Sever 2008, some with Windows XP, and some with Windows 7. All are running VS2010 Premium with ReSharper.
Also, the same thing happens on projects which target the 4.0 framework, only the error message referrs to WebDev.WebServer40.exe instead.
Google has revealed nothing. We've already tried "setting a static port" instead of a dynamic port - no help.
Please help if you can.
So, as it turns out, the problem was due to a certain use of MVCTurbine and StructureMap, but it seems likely that the problem would also occur with other IOC Containers, not just StructureMap.
The author of MVCTurbine has expressed that the fix will be in version 2.2 of that product.
In the meantime, one extra line of code in your Global.asax will solve this problem:
//VNEXT: after Turbine 2.2 we wont need this line anymore...
protected override void ShutdownContext() { CurrentContext = null; ServiceLocator = null; }
This article shows the particular use case we were addressing. The "normal plain vanilla" use of MVCTurbine and StructureMap would not have this problem.
Obviously, great thanks to Javier for being so responsive to help requests!
