Change Description

An T:System.InvalidOperationException can occur in the following scenario:

• The ItemsSource for a T:System.Windows.Controls.Primitives.Selector is a collection with a custom implementation of T:System.Collections.Specialized.INotifyCollectionChanged.
• The selected item is removed from the collection.
• The T:System.Collections.Specialized.NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs has P:System.Collections.Specialized.NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs.OldStartingIndex = -1 (indicating an unknown position).

The exception's callstack begins at System.Windows.Threading.Dispatcher.VerifyAccess() at System.Windows.DependencyObject.GetValue(DependencyProperty dp) at System.Windows.Controls.Primitives.Selector.GetIsSelected(DependencyObject element)

This exception can occur in .NET Framework 4.5 if the application has more than one Dispatcher thread. In .NET Framework 4.7 the exception can also occur in applications with a single Dispatcher thread. The issue is fixed in .NET Framework 4.7.1.

Recommended Action

Upgrade to .NET Framework 4.7.1.
