ApplicationException in AddExternalReference

Posted 17 years ago by Edward

Version: 4.0.0259

Platform: .NET 2.0

Environment: Windows XP (32-bit)

Hi,

When I load one of my assemblies with DotNetProjectResolver.AddExternalReference(), I get the following exception:

Quote:
System.ApplicationException was caught
Message="Could not load exported type data for assembly 'Cpt.Wrappers, Version=2.0.2649.24017, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'."
Source="ActiproSoftware.SyntaxEditor.Addons.DotNet.Net20"
StackTrace:

at ActiproSoftware.SyntaxEditor.Addons.DotNet.Dom.AssemblyCodeRepository.a.a(c A_0)

at ActiproSoftware.SyntaxEditor.Addons.DotNet.Dom.DotNetProjectResolver.AddExternalReference(String assemblyName)
at TestApplication.QuickStart.DotNetReflectionForm.ExecuteAppAction(AppAction action) in C:\Program Files\Actipro Software\WindowsForms\SyntaxEditor\v4.0.0258\TestApplication-CSharp.Net20\QuickStart\DotNetReflectionForm.cs:line 608

Since the exception seems to come from Assembly.GetExportedTypes() (seen in a previous topic), is there a way to call another API from .Net framework that doesn't crash?

The assembly which needs to be reflected implements unions fields as below:

[System.Runtime.InteropServices.StructLayout(LayoutKind.Explicit)]
        public struct d
        {
            [System.Runtime.InteropServices.FieldOffset(0)] // Offset is 0 for both of the fields to make an union (adviced by the MSDN)
            public a ssString;

            [System.Runtime.InteropServices.FieldOffset(0)]
            public c ussdString;
        }

Any idea for a work around that we could use here? Any sample code to reflect manualy an assembly?

Note: I marked this topic as Bug report to specify syntax editor and framework versions used here.

Regards,

Edward

Hi Edward,

Actually the only place that particular exception message is raised is in a try...catch around this line:

types = assembly.GetExportedTypes();

So what I suspect is that perhaps you are not loading some dependent assembly before you load this assembly that has the issue. Check out the load order and see if that helps.
