I am building WES 7 OS by running our C# application to see which package I need to add to. Most of the time I can get enough information from the error by viewing the System Event. Then I can add right package to the Answer file to create the OS image. But sometime I cannot find enough information from the System Event Viewer.
Is there any tool (debugger?) I can use to trace which file\library\dll is missing which cause our application crash during the runtime? I cannot install Visual Studio on that testing machine.
thanks,
Dependency Walker is a fantastic tool for this: http://www.dependencywalker.com/
It used to be included with the SDK, but I'm not sure if it is anymore. In any case, I'm sure the one on the dependencywalker.com site is more up-to-date.

I have developed a project with VS on Windows 10. Right now on Linux mint i am debugging the project with MonoDevelop and it runs just fine.
Let me show you:
However when i make a build and i go to the Release folder and then i try from the terminal to launch the program i have a problem. Let me show you first the files i have build:
Then i go to the directory with my terminal and i run:
chmod +x ./WorldServer.exe then i run ./WorldServer.exe
and i receive the following error:
I know that this is .exe file and maybe i have to build a different type of file. But i am not really sure what setting should i apply in my project to make a working build for linux.
As far as i know linux is using .so as extension for it's libraries. However it is generating .dll files. Can i change that? Can i somehow make my project to be "buildable" in the two OS Linux and Windows ?
The exception tells us, you need System.Management in your project. It isn't there.
Why?
Because Mono, according to there Road-map, doesn't support this:
The following do not map to operating systems other than Windows, and
we are unlikely to spend time to support them even on Windows:
System.Management
How?
System.Management is a library that only works on Windows. The MySQL connector driver has started to depend on this library and tries to load it per reflection.
I'm not into this whole MySql Progess but there is an open bug for it. Also there is a comment which says:
The last working version of the MySQL .NET Driver is 6.4.6
I hope this helps you.
I have installed RSAT for Windows 10 and this should give me the above class lib. But I cannot find it!
This article seems to be outdated, its talking about win vista and win7!. Following this MSDN Article under %windir%\assembly\gac_msil I should find the necessary assembly to add to my Visual Studio Project. Unfortunately I do not have an assembly named Microsoft.GroupPolicy.Management there.
I can start the server manager and I can also open the Group Policy Management console, but I can't find the assemblies! Anybody knows what I am missing? Where can I find these assemblies under Windows 10?
I had the same problem. if you are still looking, on Windows 10 RSAT installs the Microsoft.grouppolicy.management dlls into %windir%\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL. You can browse to this dll to add it as a reference to your .Net project. Also you don't need to "Turn Windows features on or off" as RSAT doesn't appear in the list and this was installed by default. The Microsoft article is out of date as you mention. Hope that helps.
When I open a sample Blinky application in Visual Studio, compile and run it, it gets automatically deployed to the target configured WindowsIoT device. After that, on Windows 10 machine where I compile it, the application binaries are located in the bin sub-folder of the project folder as one would expect.
I would like to automate the deployment, so that I could run deployment code
without Visual Studio, specify target device and the binaries location and it would deploy it. I cannot find any API that allows
to deploy apps to Windows IoT, how do I do that?
This shiny Windows IoT stuff is a new area, and there is not a lot of info available apart from the samples and the getting started page. Any pointers are appreciated.
Update: As noted in comments, once one start thinking of mass production, they will probably need to conciser ICD. This, is not, however the problem I'm trying to solve currently. I would like to figure out how I can provide Over-the-Air updates to my UWP application running on Raspberry Pi and Windows IoT. I also would you like to know how I can automate build / deployment in general, but that may be automatically solved if I have a proper OTA solution.
There is a set of instructions on how to do it, which can be found in the same github repo you are linking in your question, but in a different folder. Note, that you need an appx for these instructions to work, and it's not created by the solution build by default.
This page provide (non IoT specific) instructions on using VS to build the appx. And this blog post talks about the command line tool that can be used for making appx.
Note, that the last two links are also talking about publishing an application to app store, so you'll need to make some mental adjustments around that.
I used VSTO a couple of years ago with Visual Studio to do some nice little addins for outlook. But I can't justify the cost of VS to do some part time projects. As a result I have installed the free version of VS and downloaded a promising office addin tool called NetOffice.
I am ok at c# but can't find a hello world example that includes setting up the environment to work.
I have VS express installed but don't know what to do with the NetOffice assemblies etc to get a simple example working.
I looked through the documentation and found a reference to "Netoffice Developer Toolbox" which set up projects for people who are not using the full version of VS. That sounded like exactly what I was after so I downloaded that also.
When I run the app NetOffice.DeveloperToolbox.exe I get a lot of errors, it does eventually load but tabs are missing and nothing seems to work.
Start up error is:
An attempt was made to load an assembly from a network location which
would have caused the assembly to be sandboxed in previous versions of
the .NET Framework. This release of the .NET Framework does not enable
CAS policy by default, so this load may be dangerous. If this load is
not intended to sandbox the assembly, please enable the
loadFromRemoteSources switch. See
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=155569 for more information. |
NotSupportedException | Void .ctor()
Following the link in the error message takes you to a page that has this description:
If you were directed to this topic because of an error message in the
Visual Studio project error list or a build error, see How to: Use an
Assembly from the Web in Visual Studio.
I didn't know i was referencing anything in the web so don't know what to do next.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get NetOffice working or if they have found/written a tutorial to getting it sorted IE a hello world tutorial?
Thanks in advance for your help.
you try to start a .net assembly from a network location.
this is forbidden from net policies(normaly)
move the toolbox folder to your hd and everything is okay.
NetOffice contains examples/tutorials for each office product in the release package. you find a lot of example online too directly from the main page(netoffice.codeplex.com) anyway, NetOffice is a 1:1 wrapper, this means if you already know the office object model from VBA or PIA(VSTO), you are ready to use NetOffice(you can use existing PIA code in NetOffice).
i am working project in c# Visual studio 2009,i am using c++ dll in my project and also i call that dll through my function . In my system the project run successfully.but in other system not in single system more than system i checked it shows exception like unable to load dll. i am check that dll in dependency walker it shows msvcr71.dll is missing.how i get this.?i need better solution for this
The problem is that your native C++ DLL depends on the library msvcr71.dll. This is not part of the standard windows installed hence you must take some action to get it onto the target machine.
The simplest way to do this is to just copy the DLL around with your application. The following KB article covers this.
Documentation on msvcr71.dll
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/abx4dbyh(VS.71).aspx
You're probably missing something in your installation of the SDK (or Visual Studio). I would recommend a Repair or Reinstall.
look on msdn for info about redistributables - this tell you what you need to install on a non dev box to make things work
This is not programming related. You are missing a dll file on your target system. Download and put in "windows/System32" and it should run.
