Dotnet plugin frameworks supported.

Postby bokkie » Sat Nov 03, 2012 5:42 am

I was wondering if someone in the IA team could give me some confirmation about the Dotnet plugin frameworks which are supported. At this time, I only have VS 2012 installed. When compiling a plugin I find I can use frameworks up to version 3.5 successfully. The moment I try and use version 4.0 or 4.5, the plugin fails with an error when I drag it onto the MSIcode.

This makes me think the Bridge can't work with frameworks 4.0 and 4.5? If that's the case are there any plans to let it work on 4.0 and higher?

Dear bokkie,

What exactly is the error message? Is your net plug-in called at all, or does the bridge fails prior to loading the net assembly?
Would it be possible for you to send me the source code of you design time plug-in? or at least the net assembly, so I can test it?

with best regards

Pawel,

There's no problem right up to 3.5. I then changed the projects to 4.0. I then created a new (empty) IA project and dragged the plugin directly onto the MSIcode. The error message I get is:

"Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Temp/Test123/Test123IDE.dll' or one of its dependencies. This assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded."

That's why I wonder if plugins are okay up to framework 3.5 as it's only 4.0 and 4.5 that tip it over the edge.

I have spent over a week :cry: trying to get the .Net Bridge working and have discovered that the answer to this question is ....

As at this date, the .Net Bridge will not work with a runtime greater than 3.5 . :o
