Error creating event handler in for Swift WPF app

Elements Water
1

I’m a first time user of RemObjects, but I haven’t been successful in getting through the WPF Windows App (for Swift) tutorial because of installation issues.

I’ve just created a new virtual machine with a clean version of Windows 10 (Version 1909), installed Visual Studio 2019 Community edition and latest release of RemObjects Water (with support for Visual Studio).

All seems good until I try to create an event handler for the button (in the tutorial). When I double-click on the button I receive the following Visual Studio dll error:

System.TypeLoadException

It also happens if I merely type the name of the event handler into the properties of the button. I’ve run a repair from both the visual studio installation and the RemObjects installation, but that doesn’t seem to help.

Surely someone has gotten RemObjects Swift up and running in Visual Studio on Windows, so any advice on solving this installation issue of RemObjects would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ron,

I’m sorry about this, this definitely sounds like a bug on our side. I am assuming you are using build .2525, right?

I’ve uploaded the more recent build .2539 from Friday to you Personal Downloads page. Can you see if the problem persists for you with that version? In either case, I’ll log a bug and will try to get this addressed this coming week.

thanx,
marc

Hi Marc,

Thanks for looking at this on a Sunday. Yep, it was version 2525. I’ll try the latest build and let you know.

Best,

Hi Marc,

I just went looking for that build in my personal downloads but didn’t see it. Not wanting to push you on a Sunday, so just let me know when it’s there and I’ll give it a try. In the meantime, I’m going to uninstall Visual Studio 2019 community and install Visual Studio 2017 community to see if there is any difference.

Thanks,

  • Ron

Hi Mark,

Just wanted to let you know that version 2525 does work as expected with Visual Studio 2017 Community edition. I’ll just stick with that for now. Let me know if you want me to test your latest build with the latest version of Visual Studio.

Thanks,

  • Ron

Strange. your login is yout gmail address, right? Or do you have a second account?

No worries. What are weekdays? :wink:

Interesting. That’s good info to have, that it’s 2019-specifc; its will help narrow this down.

Confirmed the issue with VS2019, even in the latest.

Sorry, you’'re totally correct in that yes I forgot I had created 2 accounts and I had just looked at my business email.

I saw that you had independently confirmed the issue even with the latest build. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help the effort.
