EQATEC Profiling Error - An item with the same key has already been added

Question

I seem to be getting this error when I try to profile a specific WP7 project using the EQATEC Profiler

* ERROR: Could not process xap-file MusicApp.xap: An item with the same key has already been added. at System.ThrowHelper.ThrowArgumentException(ExceptionResource resource) at System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2.Insert(TKey key, TValue value, Boolean add) at Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.InternalAddEntry(String name, ZipEntry entry) at Ionic.Zip.ZipFile._InternalAddEntry(ZipEntry ze) at Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.AddEntry(String entryName, Stream stream) at Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.AddEntry(String entryName, Byte[] byteContent)

Has anyone experienced this or know why this happens? Or perhaps knows a solution?

The new release 3.8.20 of EQATEC Profiler has this fixed. See the release history.

The problem would occur for WP7 or Silverlight apps if the xap-file contained the same file name more than once, maybe even using different path-separators. Here is a real example from another user's xap-file:

Images\Tiles\TileBackground.png
Images/Tiles/TileBackground.png

The profiler would try to add the same file twice to the instrumented xap-file and fail. The new 3.8.20 will now simply skip any further duplicated files. Of course, you probably didn't mean to add the same file twice to your MusicApp.xap so you should check your project for duplicate file entries.

Oh cool! That makes sense. We display toast messages from a background process hence it would have a \Resources\Text-XX.resx embedded in both the foreground and background apps – Christian Resma Helle May 21 '12 at 07:11
I just tried out the new and it finally works! Thanks for publishing a new build :) – Christian Resma Helle May 21 '12 at 07:13
By the way, in your release history version 3.8.20 is marked as released on March 13, 2012 and not May 13, 2012 :) – Christian Resma Helle May 21 '12 at 07:17
@Christian Oops, thanks! Copy-paste error, it's fixed now :-) – Richard Flamsholt May 21 '12 at 14:36
