Issue: with getting the IDomType - SyntaxEditor for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 16 years ago by Hu Xuenian

Version: 4.0.0277

Platform: .NET 2.0

Environment: Windows XP (32-bit)

Hi

In the ActiPro example inside the DotNetReflectionForm I have created a button. Here it adds the ColorButton.cs as a file load, using
following statement
dotNetProjectResolver.SourceProjectContent.LoadForFile(cSharpLanguage, Program.ProjectPath + @"ColorButton.cs");

After this, I execute the button click
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
IDomType type = dotNetProjectResolver.GetType(null, "TestApplication.ColorButton", DomBindingFlags.AllAccessTypes);

/// I am getting "type" is null here
return;
}

I am unable to get the IDomType. Is there anything wrong in here?

We have the simillar situation in our project where user adds the type/dynamic type using the syntaxeditor of Actipro. since user can type anything I want to validate it against DotNetProjectResolver. but it fails.

is it a bug ? please clarify if you have another ways.

thanks
Paresh

Hi Paresh,

I think the problem here is that the semantic parser service works on a worker thread. This means that although you request to load the file, it will not immediately be parsed and the IDomType won't be available yet. If you would try it a second or so later, it probably will return ok.

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

I tested with your sample, -

"C:\Program Files\Actipro Software\WindowsForms\SyntaxEditor\v4.0.0276\TestApplication-CSharp.Net20\QuickStart\DotNetReflectionForm.cs"

I added a Button on the form. On the click I added following code.

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
bool busy = SemanticParserService.IsBusy;
bool running = SemanticParserService.IsRunning;
IDomType type =
dotNetProjectResolver.GetType(null,
"TestApplication.ColorButton",
DomBindingFlags.AllAccessTypes | DomBindingFlags.ContextIsDeclaringType
);
return; // put a break point here
}

I got following data while doing testing,-

busy=false
running=true
type=null ??? which is what my question is.

I am unable to get a type from dotnetprojectresolver,
Please help with this issue or point some alternative for getting the type.

thanks

Hi Paresh,

Change it to this call:

IDomType type = dotNetProjectResolver.GetType(null, null, "TestApplication.ColorButton", DomBindingFlags.Default);

The overload you called requires a DotNetContext. If you pass null, it will fail. However the other overload allows nulls for the context type and imported namespaces and that will return the IDomType.
