Problems running same piece of code on VS 2015 and VS 2013

When running a piece of code in Visual Studio 2013 and 2015, I get two different outcomes. On visual Studio 2015 I get an NullReference and in 2013 it works the way it should. Also Visual Studio 2015 is running on Windows 10 and 2013 on Windows 8.1. The piece of code is:

private static T FindParentOfType<T>(DependencyObject o)
{
    dynamic parent = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(o);
    return parent.GetType().IsAssignableFrom(typeof(T)) ? parent : FindParentOfType<T>(parent);
}

The code is called with:

Grid RiskGrid = FindParentOfType<Grid>(ChampViewModelSel);

The error is a Nullreference when it checks for IsAssginableFrom since in VS2015 it finds a Canvas instead of the wished Grid that is found in VS2013?

Update

Installed VS2013 on Win10, and the issue persists. VS2013 works fine on Win8.1

The only difference we can see between the two is the .NetFrameworks being used. One has Version 4.5.51650 and the other uses 4.6.01038.

Update

It seems like the newest win 10 update for the pc has solved this issue.

You can try change your .net version following this link.

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg597391(v=vs.110).aspx

I believe it can be a .net version issue however, I'm not sure the impact it will have in your app.

I am just guessing since you haven't posted the error message itself. Usually there should be no difference between VS2013 and VS2015 except the default .NET runtime version as mentioned in the comment.

But looking at the code the static part could be the issue

VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(o);

Sometimes there are sequences that need to be followed before objects are initialized and can be used.

It would be also helpful to see where your method is being called.

However I found this in google by searching for VisualTreeHelper.GetParent null

VisualTreeHelper.GetParent returns null
