Replied by support on topic ArgumentNullException in OpcComputerAndServerDialog.ShowDialog
I can confirm that this is a bug in QuickOPC 5.23.1052.1 (and most likely, other builds of version 5.23 so far). As you have noted, versions 5.3x are not affected (I have checked this in the code as well).

For version 5.23, the bug will be fixed in build 5.23.1142.1, which I will make now.

Best regards

Subject: OPC Computer and Server Browser error

Zbynek,

...customer ... is getting an error message when trying to use the opcComputerAndServerDialog component. Basically, as soon as he calls showDialog(), an error message pops up.

His code looks something like this, which is what I would expect:
if (opcComputerAndServerDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
            {
                //something
            }

He is using version 5.23. The full .dll version is 5.23.1052.1 . I was able to replicate this as well. If I point that same code to 5.3 dlls, no error happens. Is there something different going on in the older versions?

The customer has actually provided a video to let us see what happens, and it looks the same when I replicate on my machine:

OS is Windows 7 for both of us. Is it a missing icon file that’s giving us the issue?
