OutOfMemory Exception During Paint

GoDiagram (6 and previous)

I have an application that allows users to create objects on the diagram. Often during dragging of a new object, an exception is thrown that crashes the application. It seems that the LinearGradientBrush constructor is used within GoDiagram code and the crash occurs if/when the two points are the same. Below is a stack trace:

System.Drawing.dll!System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientBrush.LinearGradientBrush(System.Drawing.PointF point1, System.Drawing.PointF point2, System.Drawing.Color color1, System.Drawing.Color color2) + 0xc3 bytes

System.Windows.Forms.dll!System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.DebuggableCallback(System.IntPtr hWnd, int msg, System.IntPtr wparam, System.IntPtr lparam) + 0x85 bytes

Is this something that should be fixed in the GoDiagram code or should I seek to try and prevent the situation that leads to this happening?

Thanks.

We exchanged email a couple of months ago about this. As I recall, the problem goes away if you don’t use gradients. But I think the underlying problem was your custom Subgraph code, and I advised you to go back and the Boxarea.vb class in NodeLinkDemo.
