    <p>We added DynamicProxy to our ASP.NET web app a couple of weeks ago. The code ran fine in dev and QA, but when we pushed to production, we got the following exception (top of stack trace only):</p> <pre><code>[ArgumentNullException: Invalid internal state.] </code></pre> <p>System.Reflection.Emit.TypeBuilder._InternalSetMethodIL(Int32 methodHandle, Boolean isInitLocals, Byte[] body, Byte[] LocalSig, Int32 sigLength, Int32 maxStackSize, Int32 numExceptions, __ExceptionInstance[] exceptions, Int32[] tokenFixups, Int32[] rvaFixups, Module module) +0 System.Reflection.Emit.TypeBuilder.InternalSetMethodIL(Int32 methodHandle, Boolean isInitLocals, Byte[] body, Byte[] LocalSig, Int32 sigLength, Int32 maxStackSize, Int32 numExceptions, __ExceptionInstance[] exceptions, Int32[] tokenFixups, Int32[] rvaFixups, Module module) +56 System.Reflection.Emit.TypeBuilder.CreateTypeNoLock() +1033 System.Reflection.Emit.TypeBuilder.CreateType() +99 Castle.DynamicProxy.Generators.Emitters.AbstractTypeEmitter.CreateType(TypeBuilder type) +72 Castle.DynamicProxy.Generators.Emitters.AbstractTypeEmitter.BuildType() +96 Castle.DynamicProxy.Generators.ClassProxyGenerator.GenerateType(String name, Type[] interfaces, INamingScope namingScope) +854 Castle.DynamicProxy.Generators.ClassProxyGenerator.GenerateCode(Type[] interfaces, ProxyGenerationOptions options) +834 Castle.DynamicProxy.DefaultProxyBuilder.CreateClassProxyType(Type classToProxy, Type[] additionalInterfacesToProxy, ProxyGenerationOptions options) +133 Castle.DynamicProxy.ProxyGenerator.CreateClassProxyType(Type classToProxy, Type[] additionalInterfacesToProxy, ProxyGenerationOptions options) +52 Castle.DynamicProxy.ProxyGenerator.CreateClassProxy(Type classToProxy, Type[] additionalInterfacesToProxy, ProxyGenerationOptions options, Object[] constructorArguments, IInterceptor[] interceptors) +308 Castle.DynamicProxy.ProxyGenerator.CreateClassProxy(Type classToProxy, Type[] additionalInterfacesToProxy, ProxyGenerationOptions options, IInterceptor[] interceptors) +48 Castle.DynamicProxy.ProxyGenerator.CreateClassProxy(Type classToProxy, ProxyGenerationOptions options, IInterceptor[] interceptors) +44</p> <p>It worked fine when we first pushed the code, and an IIS reset fixed it, so I'm assuming it's thread related, but I couldn't find anything on the interwebs regarding best practices for thread-safety proxy generation. Suggestions?</p> <p>UPDATE: After reading some more on the issue, especially <a href="http://kozmic.pl/archive/2009/10/30/castle-dynamic-proxy-tutorial-part-xv-patterns-and-antipatterns.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>, I realized one potential issue -- namely that I had not overwritten Equals/GetHashCode for the implementation of IProxyGenerationHook I had written, which would prevent DynamicProxy from caching it's types. As I can find next to nothing on the exception I saw in general let alone related to DP, I'm gonna assume that it was the lack of caching of types caused by my omission that was the root cause of the problem, though I'd love a confirmation.</p> <p>For the record, my object creation is pretty vanilla:</p> <pre><code>private T CreateProxy(MyArgs args) { var options = new ProxyGenerationOptions(new MyMethodSelector()); options.AddMixinInstance(new MyMixin()); return Generator.CreateClassProxy( TargetType, options, new[] { new MyInterceptor(args) }) as T; } </code></pre>

    1. COcertainly enabling caching is a **good** thing to do. I'm not sure about how this could relate to the exception and what could be the cause. Reflection.Emit is pretty cryptic, and it's often impossible to tell what really happens and why. **IF** the issue persists, try to create isolated reproduction and post it to Castle issue tracker. We'll try to find any workaround. Are you running in medium trust? Turn on DP logging, this will help narrow down the issue. `proxyGenerator.Logger = someLogger;`

    2. COWe're running in full trust. Haven't seen the problem since enabling caching. Will add logging in case the problem pops up again. Thanks for your help.

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
