C# dump analysis: newbie question: where's the rest of my callstack?

I have quite some experience in debugging memory dumps, so now that I have a C# problem, I try to solve this using memory dump analysis too, but this seems not to work:
When I use my user-interactive application, I get a System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: name.
When I see this in my Visual Studio environment, or when I debug the memory dump I've taken at that moment, these are the first lines of the call stack:
at System.Windows.Threading.ExceptionWrapper.TryCatchWhen(Object source,
Delegate callback, Object args, Int32 numArgs, Delegate catchHandler)
at System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherOperation.InvokeImpl()
at MS.Internal.CulturePreservingExecutionContext.CallbackWrapper(Object obj)
...
However, when I click Copy Details, I see quite a lot more, as you can see:
at Application.Client.Desktop.Controls.UserAuthentication.OnUserLogOn(User user)
at System.Windows.Threading.ExceptionWrapper.InternalRealCall(Delegate callback,
Object args, Int32 numArgs)
at System.Windows.Threading.ExceptionWrapper.TryCatchWhen(Object source,
Delegate callback, Object args, Int32 numArgs, Delegate catchHandler)
at System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherOperation.InvokeImpl()
at MS.Internal.CulturePreservingExecutionContext.CallbackWrapper(Object obj)
...
So, the problem is somewhere in the OnUserLogon() function, who is working with the user input variable, and I can only imagine how interesting the knowledge of this variable might be :-)
But as my call stack does not go that deep, I don't have access to that variable.
One thing which might be important: while trying to debug, I see "Symbol loading skipped", and I can confirm that I have two symbol sources:
Microsoft Symbol Servers
Some company-owned website
In order to see a full C# call stack, do I need to add more symbol sources or is there any other thing I should do?
For your information, when debugging the memory dump, I have already tried Debug with Managed Only and Debug with Mixed, none of those possibilities solved my issue.
Thanks in advance
Edit after first comment
Apparently there might be some unexpectedly interesting information in the call stack, so hereby I show the entire call stack as shown in Visual Studio Call Stack window:

MethodAccessException was unhandled

ok I have a WPF program that works on one computer but not the another. on the other one, I get this MethodAccessException was unhandled
it is when the problem calls NotifyPropertyChanged():
public abstract class NotifyChanged: INotifyPropertyChanged {
#region INotifyPropertyChanged
/// <summary>
/// PropertyChanged can be triggered whenever a Property changes value.
/// It is also available for classes which inherit from
MachineComponent.
/// </summary>
public virtual event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
/// <summary>
/// NotifyPropertyChanged can be called explicitly, by sending the name
of the property as a string,
/// or implicitly, by calling it without parameters from the Property
that changes.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="info"></param>
[System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessage( "Microsoft.Design",
"CA1026:DefaultParametersShouldNotBeUsed" )]
protected void NotifyPropertyChanged( [CallerMemberName] string info = "none passed" ) {
if ( PropertyChanged != null ) {
PropertyChanged( this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs( info ) );
}
}
#endregion
anyone know why ?
I am told this code come from a Microsoft site
Update.. I am adding the full error message. now this is a run time error message

InnerException:

Uninitialized static object called simultaneously by two threads

I have a couple of objects, each of them runs on its own thread, almost simultaneously those objects call another static object which have not been initialized, when I launch the RunWorkerAsyc function, the event RunWorkerCompleted returns with the error
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException was unhandled by user code
Message: An exception occurred during the operation, making the result invalid. Check InnerException for exception details.
If I only run one of the objects which use these uninitialized, the program works perfectly.
all of this is happening on Design mode, So I don't know how I could design my static class to avoid this. Were already tried the singleton approach, and we still get the same problem.
Any Ideas?

InnerException:

This kind of message apeears when XAML initialization triggers erroneous initialization code (at line 4 in MainWindow.xaml file). The real cause is described in inner exception. It indicates that in Timbre.cs:line 137 a list was accessed with an invalid index.
Since, it shows line number for that file, I assume you have its source code, at least in form of a .pdb file. Than you can set a break-point in there to see what's going on.
An excellent tool for tracking such unclear exceptions is IntelliTrace, but it's only available for VS Ultimate.

XamlParseException was unhandled C# app

I received this error randomly and I don't know how to fix it seeming as the cause of the problem happened out of random.
Can anyone guide me on what I should be looking for, I think it points to my XAML code but I don't know what I should be looking at.
