  1. PO“Index was outside the bounds of the array” when run outside of the IDE
    text
    copied!<p>I've just started learning C# and had created this simple configuration file generator for a Minecraft launcher, just as something to do. I'm having trouble when trying to run the application independently from Visual C# 2010 - it spits out <em>"Index and length must refer to a location within the string. Parameter name:length"</em> on first run (when the blank text file is created) and <em>"index was outside the bounds of the array"</em> if I start it again after this.</p> <p>I'm confused as to why this is happening - it isn't giving me any line numbers, and it only happens when I don't run the application through the IDE (whether I run a debug build or release build). Any help is much appreciated. I apologise for my possibly horrible coding - I'm a beginner with this language.</p> <pre><code>using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace Minecraft_Launcher_Config { public partial class mcwindow : Form { private void outputText(string outtext) { output.Text = outtext; } private string encrypt(string text, int key) { string newText = ""; for (int i = 0; i &lt; text.Length; i++) { int charValue = Convert.ToInt32(text[i]); charValue ^= key; newText += char.ConvertFromUtf32(charValue); } return newText; } public mcwindow() { InitializeComponent(); } private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { string iuser = ""; string ipass = ""; string imem = "1024"; string iserver = ""; if (System.IO.File.Exists("config.cfg")) { System.IO.StreamReader configFile = new System.IO.StreamReader("config.cfg"); string[] iconfig = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("config.cfg"); iuser = iconfig[0]; ipass = iconfig[1]; imem = iconfig[2]; iserver = iconfig[3]; configFile.Close(); outputText("Successfully loaded and decrypted config!"); } else { System.IO.StreamWriter configwrite = new System.IO.StreamWriter("config.cfg"); configwrite.Close(); outputText("Welcome to Frohman's Minecraft Launcher Config!"); } username.Text = iuser; memselect.Value = int.Parse(imem); int OKey = Convert.ToInt32(username.Text.Substring(0, 1)); string unenpassword = encrypt(ipass, OKey); password.Text = unenpassword; } private void label1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { } private void label4_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { } private void saveexit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (username.Text != "" &amp; password.Text != "") { outputText("Saving and exiting!"); int IKey = Convert.ToInt32(username.Text[0]); string enpassword = encrypt(password.Text, IKey); string outString = username.Text + System.Environment.NewLine + enpassword + System.Environment.NewLine + memselect.Value + System.Environment.NewLine + serverip.Text; System.IO.StreamWriter configwrite = new System.IO.StreamWriter("config.cfg"); configwrite.WriteLine(outString); configwrite.Close(); System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(150); Environment.Exit(0); } else { outputText("You're missing some data!"); } } private void password_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { } } } </code></pre>
