Error adding XmlSyntaxLanguage to Form - SyntaxEditor Web Languages Add-on for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 13 years ago by Steve Marinelli

Version: 12.1.0302

Platform: .NET 3.5

Environment: Windows XP (32-bit)

I just recently purchased a license for the web languages add-on and am receiving an exception when I try to run my application after I added it to my form.

The line I am receiving the exception on is in the InitializeComponent method:

this.xmlSyntaxLanguage1 = new ActiproSoftware.SyntaxEditor.Addons.Xml.XmlSyntaxLanguage(this.components);

Here is the exception info:

System.InvalidCastException was unhandled
  Message=Specified cast is not valid.

  InnerException:

I had version .300 installed previously, tried un-installing and re-installing v. 302, but the error remains.

I created a .licx file and added it to my project, but it did not help.

Can someone shed any light on this problem?

Nevermind...I had re-copied my old product key by mistake after I made the upgrade. After re-installing with the new key, it works fine.

The latest build of this product (v24.1.1) was released 8 months ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
