Controller Remap Utiility - SOLVED!!!

[lisowskikevin]

Hey guys I was muddling through the utility and accidentally deleted something in one of the windows and now everytime I strat the GUI I get this message

Microsoft .NET Framework

Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue the application will ignore the error and attempt to continue. If you click quit the application will close immediately

Conversion from type DBNULL to type String is not valid

then I click on details and I get this...

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.




PLEASE HELP!! Anyone know what to do? I have tried deleting the app an reinstalling no luck.

What command line are you using to run ControllerRemap?

It might be that you deleted your ctrlr file, but the command line is still pointing to a given file. If it's not there, I'm not sure what would happen, but an invalid cast is certainly a possibility.

Hey Dr venture!

I'm using the GUI and I clicked on the devices tab and selected one of the aimtrak devices with a super long name. I selected it and clicked backspace and erased the entire thing.

Then I started getting the message. Is there a way to restore it all to normal?

[drventure]

Ahhh. Hmm. I'm not sure about that. I didn't write the GUI.

However, yeah, sounds like a node got deleted inadvertently.

Can you post the ctrlr file?

I might be able to figure out what's missing.

Absolutely, I'll find it and post tomorrow. Thanks for your help on this.

Thanks anyways Dr Venture....I just downloaded a newer version of the GUI and I will not be screwing that up! Thanks for your help

[drventure]

No Prob. Hope that resolves it!
