Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.PageInspector.Runtime.NativeMethods.CloseHandle

Question

I have hit the yellow page of death. So I googled for the message:

[SEHException (0x80004005): Een extern onderdeel heeft een uitzondering veroorzaakt.] Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.PageInspector.Runtime.NativeMethods.CloseHandle(IntPtr hHandle) +0 Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.BrowserLink.Runtime.ArteryConnectionUtil.MappedFileExists(String fileName) +39 Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.BrowserLink.Runtime.ArteryConnectionUtil.ReadAllLinesFrom(String fileName) +66 Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.BrowserLink.Runtime.ArteryConnectionUtil.GetAllInstanceFileNames() +67 Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.BrowserLink.Runtime.ArteryConnectionUtil.FindArteryConnection(String applicationPhysicalPath, ArteryConnectionData& connection) +48 Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.PageInspector.Runtime.Tracing.PageInspectorHttpModule.OnPreRequestHandlerExecute(Object sender, EventArgs e) +351 System.Web.SyncEventExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute() +142 System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) +96

I have Win 8.1 x64 and ran VS as admin and used IIS to host my mvc 5 project. I have added this to my web.config to supress the exception as mentioned in some other stackoverflow question I found with google:

<assemblyBinding>
  <dependentAssembly>
    <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.PageInspector.Runtime" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
    <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-14.0.0.0" newVersion="12.3.0.0" />
  </dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>

The thing is that I have browserlink disabled. I have this in firefox and chrome, so it seems a crossbrowser/non-browser bug. I have this in visual studio 2013.4 and 2015 ctp6 (not sure which ctp is current atm) IIS Express seems to work, but that is just a workaround. What if I insist to host from the IIS webserver.

Answer 1

Try to set the max of oldversion (currently 14.0.0.0) equal to newVersion (12.3.0.0) .
