Windows Update - .NET 2.0 Update May Impact Team System

Read http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/928365! I have had multiple people report to me that they had issues connecting to TFS after the most recent Windows update.

I had been talking with a co-worker over the last couple of days about a problem that he and another person on his team were having. The errors they were getting an error when trying to connect to TFS or to do binding of source control (perhaps at other times as well) that contained the following text:

System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index and length must refer to a location within the string

 

Below are some captures of various ways you may see this. The resolution was removal of the .NET 2.0 update from this week. Special thanks to Jim Szubryt who ran this down.

Looking at the screen shots that you posted (which include stack traces, thankfully!), this will only happen if you have client-side soap proxy tracing turned on.  The TraceWebMethodRequest() method immediately returns if the tracing switch is not set to at least TraceInfo (level 3, if I remember correctly).  If you hit this, simply turn off client-side tracing that you or someone else previously enabled (e.g., in devenv.exe.config), since it's not on by default.

Folks are looking into how to solve the problem so that tracing works after the patch.

P.S. The irony, though, is that if you didn't have tracing turned on, there would not be a stack trace in the error dialog. ;-)

Buck,

The irony indeed. The KB936210 you pointed me to has reportedly worked for the few folks I know that were having the problem.

Thanks.
