I think "element.removeEventListener(type, listener, useCapture)" now throws an exception when the listener is undefined.

Yes I am getting it too after Creators update.
Mainly when using setAt method of the binding list.

I had same problem and error with Visual Studio, but maybe I found this simple solution for me, after creators update:

1. Uninstall VS 2015 and all component;
2. Restart PC;
3. Install VS 2017.

Now I no longer error: "Unable to get property 'handleEvent' of undefined or null reference"

También se me ha presentado este error cuando trato de establecer la propiedad groupDataSource de un ListView.

Esta línea de código genera el error:

miListView.groupDataSource = null;

Any update on this error?
I already use VS2017 and i have same error when try to push new data to ListView and reset data to null.

Hola,

Ya encontré una solución a este error, simplemente en vez de asignar null, asigné una new BindingList recibiendo de parámetro un array vacío:

var emptyArray= []
var newData= new WinJS.Binding.List(emptyArray);
MyListView.itemDataSource = newData.dataSource;
