UWP resources not found

Question

I have an UWP application which is working fine on various machines but on one particular machine, it is crashing silently.

When I debugged the installed app through visual studio I figured out that it is not getting the resources on the XAML file eg

{ThemeResource ComboBoxDropdownContentMargin}

{Binding TemplateSettings.DropDownContentMinWidth, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=TemplatedParent}}

The Output window is showing the following exception

Exception thrown at 0x751641E8 (KernelBase.dll) in myapplicationnamechanged .exe: 0x40080201: WinRT originate error (parameters: 0x80004005, 0x00000046, 0x05CDC7A8).

Cannot find a Resource with the Name/Key ComboBoxDropdownContentMargin [Line: 0 Position: 0] Unhandled exception at 0x0F7F2DEB (Windows.UI.Xaml.dll) in Infonet.CStoreCommander.UI.exe: 0xC000027B: An application-internal exception has occurred (parameters: 0x116F1BA8, 0x00000004).

Answer 1

As per this MSDN documentation ComboBoxDropdownContentMargin was made availalbe from Windows 10, Version 1511 (Windows SDK version 10.0.10586.0).

So if you are running your App which has Version lower than the supported version, in that case, it will throw an exception.
