axSymbologyControl - can't load ESRI.ServerStyle

In exampe of how to use LayerRendering code

            string sInstall = ReadRegistry("SOFTWARE\\ESRI\\CoreRuntime");
            axSymbologyControl1.LoadStyleFile(sInstall + "\\Styles\\ESRI.ServerStyle");

worked. But in my program the same code does not work, when loadStyleFile I get error message
"(Exception - HRESULT: 0x80004005 (E_FAIL))". Error code - -2147467259.

Does your program perform the same setup/initialization as the program that works?

Starting with version 10, you have to do some additional initialization before you can use ArcObjects. If you look at the help it is described there.

If it isn't initialization then the only other thing that I can think of is permissions. For example, make sure that no other process has the file locked and that you have the required permissions.

If I create new project - all works. But if I create axSymbologyControl in current project - not works. I try put new object axSymbologyControl1 on the Form1, and try following code

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            axSymbologyControl1.LoadStyleFile("C:\\Program Files\\ArcGIS\\Styles\\ESRI.ServerStyle");

        }

but receive the previous message. If I load style file in design mode, in Property Form of axSymbologyControl ( in current project - all works too).

I do the copy ESRY.serverStyle file in ESRY1.serverStyle and try load it. All works. I think the problem is in unvisible process, which block ESRY.serverStyle file. In axMapControl1 I set map document property in design mode - may be it use server style file and block it in form constructor.

We use server style files and had various locking problems with them. You can see who has the lock by running http://live.sysinternals.com/procexp.exe. Just use the "Find / Find Handle or DLL..." command and search for the name.

The way that we worked around this problem was to explicitly make the server style files read-only in the file properties. What would happen is that various ESRI routines open the files with write mode if they can and the first one succeeds and then the others are blocked.

Good luck!
