Question

When I start the application I’m getting the exception what could it be ?

The exception is on the line in the constructor:

checkBox1.Checked = Options_DB.Get_Automatic_Start();

This is the options_db class but I used a breakpoint there and it never get to the options_db

This is in form1 the constructor where the exception fire up:

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;
using System.IO;
using DannyGeneral;
using System.Drawing.Drawing2D;

namespace Batch_Images_Convertion
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        int i;
        bool cancel_;
        bool automatic_;
        public Form1()
        {

            InitializeComponent();
            i = 0;
            automatic_ = false;
            checkBox1.Checked = Options_DB.Get_Automatic_Start();

It never continues beyond this line.

This is the exception error message:

System.TypeInitializationException was unhandled
  Message=The type initializer for 'Batch_Images_Convertion.Options_DB' threw an exception.

Answer 1

Looks like its trying to load the file 'C:\Users\Chocolade\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Batch_Images_Convertion\settings\settings_convertion.txt' but the directory settings doesn’t exist.

In your constructor, check to make sure the directory exist by doing:

Directory.Exists(@"path\to\your\folder")

Before trying to access the file.
