Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt

Like a lot of this topics so far I am having a problem that this exception occures in one specific place (5% of the time) and somewhere else.

The first line of code is this 

 ((DefinitionDetailForm.FindNameInContent("DataFieldDefinitionPoints") as DataField).
                        FindName("DefinitionScoringPoints") as RadNumericUpDown).
                        Minimum = 0;

First I thought that I maybe need to keep the reference in a field but this didn't help either.

The other situation is in an undefined place for which I don't even get anything in the call stack so that I can not give any more info :(

Anyone at least having an idea about the first one?

Edit:

The exception indicates that something has corrupted unmanaged memory. The corruption often happens at some point before the exception is thrown making it hard to troubleshoot the issue. The spinner might not be involved at all but simply the messenger of a more sinister problem in your application.

Frankly I can only think of one way to corrupt unmanaged memory in Silverlight and that is by using P/Invoke in Silverlight 5. If you are doing that you should take a careful look at that part of your code.

The casts in the question are in no way harmful. At worst a missing or wrong control can trigger a NullReferenceException but that will not corrupt unmanaged memory.

If you want to improve on the casting (which wont solve your problem) you can use an extension method to do some validation and tell you if there is a problem:

static class FrameworkElementExtensions {

  public T FindName<T>(this FrameworkElement parent, String name) {
    var child = parent.FindName(name);
    if (child == null)
      throw new ArgumentException(
        String.Format("No element named '{0}' exists.", name);
    var typedChild = child as T;
    if (typedChild == null)
      throw new ArgumentException(
        String.Format("Named element '{0}' has wrong type.", name);
    return typedChild;
  }

}

Then you can use it like this:

dataField.FindName<RadNumericUpDown>("DefinitionScoringPoints").Minimum = 0;

You will have to implement similar extension methods for the Telerik specific calls.

Well First things first that's a lot of Casts for a single line of code. Every type cast in code means that you know a lot more than the code does, which is bad. And there are also a possiblity that the Find method might return null

If you're trying to set the minimum value for a Numeric Spinner for a form, I'd suggest you do it inside the form - something along the lines of. 

DefinitionDetailForm.SetNumericSpinnerMinValue(0);

And the SetNumericSpinnerMinValue could have the logic for setting the Min value for the spinner with proper null checks.

Use a try/catch block around the code you're suspecting the exception to rise.

Again - Get rid of those casts !
