Cannot load Counter Name data because an invalid index -Exception
.net, c#, sql-server-2012
Solution
Although this has already been answered, I see people are repeatedly getting the same error that I did when trying to solve it. If when you run:
`C:\windows\system32> lodctr /r`
you get the error
`Error: Unable to rebuild performance counter setting from system backup store, error code is 2`
then you instead need to run
`C:\windows\SysWOW64> lodctr /r`
after which you should get
`Info: Successfully rebuilt performance counter setting from system backup store`
Note this has to be done as administrator. I found the solution here
Problem
I am using C# and WPF - Operating System is windows 7 Professional and Visual Studio 2012, SQL Server 2012. I used Devexpress Grid in wpf. I want to bind it to database using ADO.Net Server mode. I selected "Items Source Wizard" Option to do this binding but it generated following Exception: InvalidOperationException: Cannot load Counter Name data because an invalid index '' was read from the registry. What does this exception mean? Can you please help me to resolve this issue. Thanks, Annie.
