Hi got this error now after I updated my VS IDE .... The path is not of a legal form. WinFormsSQLExamplePro C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\10.0.102\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.NET.Windows.targets <_WinRTRuntimeDllDirectory>$([System.IO.Path]::GetDirectoryName('%(_WinRTRuntimeDllReferencePath.FullPath)'))</_WinRTRuntimeDllDirectory> <_CsWinRTOrTargetingPackLibDirectory>$([System.IO.Path]::GetDirectoryName('$(_WinRTRuntimeDllDirectory)'))</_CsWinRTOrTargetingPackLibDirectory> Note the top most path entry contains a '%' character , whereas the 2nd path contains a '$' character... Not sure what is going on ... (happened after VS update)
Edm Model Generation Fails
Using an Azure ASP.NET MVC API from a Maui app, I am encountering the following error in the app when attempting to access the API. A few days ago, the initalization was working properly. The cloud app has been under further development, but the base api code has not been modified, only the response from the endpoints. The latest release NuGets are in use. What elements are being sought? System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'GeneratedEdmModel' threw an exception. ---> System.InvalidOperationException: Sequence contains no elements at System.Linq.ThrowHelper.ThrowNoElementsException() at System.Linq.Enumerable.First[TSource](IEnumerable`1 source) at SentryCloud.Models.Container.GeneratedEdmModel.CreateXmlReader()How to respond to upgrade-assistant cli prompts?
Bear with me please, I have not touched this stuff in a few years. Trying to upgrade Xamarin project to .Net Maui using CLI (latest version of VS 2022 cannot find the Upgrade assistant extension). I have downloaded the upgrade-assistant, but am not familiar with how to reply\how to make a selection of what is displayed after I enter "upgrade-assistant upgrade project-name" (it does not execute and instead displays information...see attached image). Is what is being display telling me that I need to ctrl-c out of this and re-enter the command using what they are showing? Please give me an example of using the Side-by-side upgrade. Is is also telling me that I need to do something with NuGet also on the command line? Thanks.
.NET runtime issues - application not starting up
Hello, We have a .NET based application built using the .NET framework 8.0. The application runtimeconfig.json file shows this: MyApp.runtimeconfig.json "tfm": "net8.0", "frameworks": [ { "name": "Microsoft.NETCore.App", "version": "8.0.0" }, { "name": "Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App", "version": "8.0.0" } ], Please note that we have Published the application and verified that only .NET version 8.0.16 components, DLLs etc are required. Anything higher than this does not show up. From the cmd prompt, the following runtimes are shown to be installed on the system: >dotnet --list-runtimes Microsoft.AspNetCore.App 8.0.21 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.AspNetCore.App] Microsoft.NETCore.App 8.0.20 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App] Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App 8.0.20 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App] However, when we try to start a Windows service which is installed as part of the application, it does not start up, and the Windows Event Viewer shows the following error: "Description: A .NET application failed. Application: MyAppControllerService.exe Path: C:\MyApp\MyAppControllerService.exe Message: You must install or update .NET to run this application. App: C:\MyApp\MyAppControllerService.exe Architecture: x64 Framework: 'Microsoft.NETCore.App', version '8.0.21' (x64) .NET location: C:\Program Files\dotnet\ The following frameworks were found: 8.0.20 at [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App] Learn more: https://aka.ms/dotnet/app-launch-failed To install missing framework, download: https://aka.ms/dotnet-core-applaunch?framework=Microsoft.NETCore.App&framework_version=8.0.21&arch=x64&rid=win-x64&os=win10" So, the issue is, even with Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App 8.0.20 being installed on the system, it still asks for the .NET 8.0 Runtime (v8.0.21) to be installed. Please let me know why this is so? Since, as per this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/windows .NET Desktop Runtime includes the .NET runtime as well, and Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App 8.0.20 is installed. Thanks in advance, JY
Duck Game Crashes
I am hoping that someone here might be able to steer me in the right direction. I have posted in the game's forum, but I am not receiving any support there. I have a new laptop running Windows 11. We are getting frequent game crashes while playing Duck Game. I am wondering if it is a compatibility issue as the game is older. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Here is our most recent crash report: System.InvalidOperationException: An unexpected error has occurred. at Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.GraphicsDevice.DrawUserIndexedPrimitives[T](PrimitiveType primitiveType, T[] vertexData, Int32 vertexOffset, Int32 numVertices, Array indexData, Int32 indexOffset, Int32 primitiveCount, VertexDeclaration vertexDeclaration, _D3DFORMAT indexFormat) at DuckGame.MTSpriteBatcher.FlushVertexArray(Int32 start, Int32 end) in C:\gamedev\duckgame_current_steam\duckgame\DuckGame\src\MonoTime\Render\SpriteBatcher.cs:line 709 at DuckGame.MTSpriteBatcher.DrawBatch(SpriteSortMode sortMode) in C:\gamedev\duckgame_current_steam\duckgame\DuckGame\src\MonoTime\Render\SpriteBatcher.cs:line 485 at DuckGame.MTSpriteBatch.End() in C:\gamedev\duckgame_current_steam\duckgame\DuckGame\src\MonoTime\Render\MTSpriteBatch.cs:line 151 at DuckGame.Layer.End(Boolean transparent, Boolean isTargetDraw) in C:\gamedev\duckgame_current_steam\duckgame\DuckGame\src\MonoTime\Layer.cs:line 897 at DuckGame.Layer.Draw(Boolean transparent, Boolean isTargetDraw) in C:\gamedev\duckgame_current_steam\duckgame\DuckGame\src\MonoTime\Layer.cs:line 1154 at DuckGame.LayerCore.DrawLayers() in C:\gamedev\duckgame_current_steam\duckgame\DuckGame\src\MonoTime\Layer.cs:line 381 at DuckGame.Level.DoDraw() in C:\gamedev\duckgame_current_steam\duckgame\DuckGame\src\MonoTime\Level.cs:line 1081 at DuckGame.Level.DrawCurrentLevel() in C:\gamedev\duckgame_current_steam\duckgame\DuckGame\src\MonoTime\Level.cs:line 198 at DuckGame.MonoMain.RunDraw(GameTime gameTime) in C:\gamedev\duckgame_current_steam\duckgame\DuckGame\src\MonoTime\MonoMain.cs:line 2524 at DuckGame.MonoMain.Draw(GameTime gameTime) in C:\gamedev\duckgame_current_steam\duckgame\DuckGame\src\MonoTime\MonoMain.cs:line 2246 Last 8 Lines of Console Output: Creating ghost (1442) @received Activating NMItemSpawned (2044->2045)((0)(H)LawMac,76561198093753884)(16) @received Activating NMFireGun (2045->2046)((0)(H)LawMac,76561198093753884)(16) @sent Sent NMKillDuck (421)((0)(H)LawMac,76561198093753884)(16) Creating ghost (1443) @received Activating NMItemSpawned (2046->2047)((0)(H)LawMac,76561198093753884)(16) Creating ghost (8879) Creating ghost (8880) Date: 04/19/2024 03:58:56 Version: 1.1.7717.16376 Platform: Windows 10 (Steam Build 8782838)(SFX) Online: 1 (C,0.01582697) Mods: nomods Time Played: 00:39:02 (140607) Special Code: men20 Resolution: (A)1920x1080 (G)1920x1080 (Fullscreen(W))(RF 140420) Level: Content/levels/deathmatch/office01_8.lev Command Line:Dotnet core Oracle 23c SSL connection not working on Linux environment and works on Windows

Hi I'm trying to modify the .NET runtime from github.com/dotnet/runtime. I created a copy of the Dictionary class called Dictionary2 in these source code files: C:\rt5\src\libraries\System.Collections\ref\System.Collections.cs C:\rt5\src\libraries\System.Private.CoreLib\src\System\Collections\Generic\Dictionary.cs When I use dot peek from Jetbrains, Dictionary2 exists in my System.Collections.dll, but when I import System.Collections.dll in my main console C# application, Dictionary2 gives me compiler errors. Am, I missing some code somewhere? Can you guys help me out here? Thanks!Wont install Framework ect automaticly ???
I have an app/program (an EXE-file) I made way back when King of Spade was a Knight and I've used it for years on Windows 10 where it automaticly downloaded and installed the dependencies ! Now I run it under Windows 11 ... it just DON'T ! I know I SHOULD go back and make an "install package" but isn't there a 'Work-Around' ?

Hello, I need help with a connection with C#. I have a database that I just dumped, the connection with the mysql.data tools was working perfectly, but after the dump I get this error: Unable to cast object of type 'System.DBNull' to other types in System.DBNull.System.IConvertible.ToInt32(IFormatProvider provider) in System.Convert.ToInt32(Object value, IFormatProvider provider) in MySql.Data.MySqlClient.Driver.<LoadCharacterSetsAsync>d__81.MoveNext() --- Fine traccia dello stack da posizione precedente dove è stata generata l'eccezione --- in System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.ThrowForNonSuccess(Task task) in System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task) in MySql.Data.MySqlClient.Driver.<ConfigureAsync>d__78.MoveNext() --- Fine traccia dello stack da posizione precedente dove è stata generata l'eccezione --- in System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.ThrowForNonSuccess(Task task) in System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task) in System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.ValidateEnd(Task task) in MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection.<OpenAsync>d__94.MoveNext() --- Fine traccia dello stack da posizione precedente dove è stata generata l'eccezione --- in System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.ThrowForNonSuccess(Task task) in System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task) in MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection.Open() in DBTester.FormMain.btnTest_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) in C:\Users\... The absurd thing is that if I try several times, on the fourth or fifth attempt it succeeds, has anyone ever encountered this problem, or can they help me figure out what may have gone wrong? Now DB works on MariaDB 11, the old db was on MariaDB 8 What can I verify?
