Visual Studio Tools for GP fails during startup without error

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Randy Coates

Environment: GP 2010 code upgraded to 2015

We have two Add-In DLLs that register events with GP.

DLL 1: registers an event handler for AfterModalDialogEventArgs for SOP Batch Entry

DLL 2: registers a menu item function with Menus for Visual Studio Tools (VSIT)

We also have DLL 3 that is the sample from VSIT.

Problem: If we place DLL 1 into the AddIns folder, it runs its Initialize method, but it seems to error, or block others from running. If placed by itself or with DLL 3 into AddIns, either or both will initialize. The introduction of DLL 1 into the AddIns folder causes it to run but no others. (used MessageBoxes as simple way to know which Initialize ran). In other words, it seems that DLLs 2 and 3 play nice, but DLL 3 is disruptive.

Question: How can I debug this to find the problem with DLL 3? Any suggestions as to what might cause such a problem?

Thanks in advance for any help.

    Thanks, Mariano and David. This is a new issue, but I am not convinced that it is a VSIT issue. The add-ins associated with VSIT (DLLs 2 and 3) all place nicely together. The problem occurs when I add the DLL 1 which uses standard GP code (just use Application.Dynamics and Microsoft.Dexterity.Bridge, not Application.MenusForVisualStudioTools).

    Hi all.

    This case was resolved by updating the .Net Framework version and re-adding all the references back to ensure they were the correct versions.

    Adding David Musgrave to this discussion. I believe he just updated his VSIT samples, but I cannot be sure. All in all, make sure you are running the latest VSIT Build 12 components
