Visual Studio Tools for GP fails during startup without error

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.

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

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.

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).
