InvalidOperationException by InitializeComponent

Question

If I open a new Window from the MainWindow Class, I got an InvalidOperationException. The exception is thrown by calling the InitializeComponent()-Method.

I don't know what to do.

ItemWindow itemWindow = new ItemWindow()
{
   WindowStartupLocation = WindowStartupLocation.CenterScreen,
   Topmost = true
};
itemWindow.ShowDialog();

The Error occur by calling the method at the second time.

The Message:

The Application object is being shut down.

Source: PresentationFramework

The StackTrace:

at Project.View.EditButton_OnClick(Object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) in d:\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\ Project \View\MainWindow.xaml.cs:line 479.

Edit: The problem occours only in the debug mode.

Edit 3

I've found the reason.

The Main-application is written in windows forms. In a tab the application execute an elementhost with an WPF-UserControl. This UserControl opens the WPF-Window. By closing this WPF-Window, the WPF-UserControl is closed too. (Critical Shutdown)

Have you tried opening the window without the pre-defined startlocation and topmost properties? — horHAY
check inner exception. usually it is missing resource referenced by DynamicResource in xaml, but it can be any exception caused when loading xaml, e.g. error in viewmodel ctor. — Liero

This message means that your application started shutdown. Shutdown can be started by:

Closing all windows if Application.ShutdownMode equals OnLastWindowClose.
Closing main window if Application.ShutdownMode equals OnMainWindowClose.
Calling shutdown manually.

So check this situations because they cause problems.

EDIT: Because you have the first listed reason you should change Application.ShutdownMode to OnExplicitShutdown.
