FIX: The contents of layered windows for a WPF-based application do not appear after Windows resumes from sleep or hibernation or several issues when you render graphics in the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1

Applies To
.NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You run a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)-based application that uses the .NET Framework 3.0 Service Pack 2 (SP2) on a computer that is running a Windows operating system.
  • You set the Window.AllowsTransparency property to True. When the True value is set, the application uses layered windows.
  • The operating system enters and then resumes from sleep or from hibernation.
  • After the system resume, WPF tries to render the contents of the layered windows.

In this scenario, the contents of the layered windows do not appear.

Notes

  • The .NET Framework 3.0 SP2 is included in the .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 (SP1).
  • Other issues that this hotfix resolves are described in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB) article:
