Exception thrown by type initializer for 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Framework.Server.ByteArray'
arrays, checkin, exception
Solution
I was encountering the same issue just today. For the sake of others that may hit this page, since it's the first hit when googling the exception. I looked at the MS Social question here, but the key appears to be something in the App Tier Framework, I executed IISRESET.exe (as Administrator) on the TFS app tier server and everything started working perfectly again.
Problem
Please anyone has an idea what is causing this error while checking in files on tfs: "The type initializer for 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Framework.Server.ByteArray' threw an exception." this is the stack trace from the event Viewer: ``` **TF53010: The following error has occurred in a Team Foundation component or extension: Date (UTC): 4/7/2014 5:57:14 AM Machine: TFSSRV Application Domain: /LM/W3SVC/8080/ROOT/tfs-14-130413234339367965 Assembly: Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Framework.Server, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a; v2.0.50727 Service Host: 61e34d8a-3995-492a-b0b1-b1ca43304366 (SABIS) Process Details: Process Name: w3wp Process Id: 3896 Thread Id: 4844 Account name: INTEREDLB\eghanem Detailed Message: TF30065: An unhandled exception occurred.
