Hi,

I have a TaskPane in a Word addin.
I'm getting this exception, after trying to add a parameter to the constructor of the TaskPane. The parameter I added to the TaskPane is passed to the constructor of a user control inside that TaskPane.
Is it related? Can't I pass a parameter to the constructor of the task pane?

Thanks.

Hi Meidan,

Could you send a sample add-in project which can reproduce the issue to the support e-mail address (see readme.txt)?

Hi Meidan,

Sorry for the delay.

I have found the following line in your code which throws the exception:

if (settings.ShowHelpOnStartup) new Help(settings, picture).ShowDialog();


Are you able to reproduce the issue you described above with a new simple add-in? If yes, please send it to the support e-mail address.

BTW What Office version and OS do you use?
