Application does start with net5.0 with low level or unmanaged c# libraries

[aboccag]

Hi there!

• Version: 13.5.1

• Target: net5.0

Steps to Reproduce:

I would like to run a simple app where I want to instantiate a Basler camera (emulation for now). To do that, I just have to import the library and do a simple Camera camera = new Camera();

My netcore app has been created with the microsoft new project with react and redux, then I add electron.net api and I started the electronize init / start command

Here is the service I registered with the classic microsoft DI :

using System;
using Basler.Pylon;
using ElectronNET.API;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;

    public class CameraService : ICameraService
    {
        private readonly ILogger<CameraService> _logger;

        public CameraService(ILogger<CameraService> logger)
        {
            _logger = logger;
            Camera c = new Camera();
            _logger.LogInformation(c.ToString());
            
            Electron.IpcMain.On("cam", async args =>
            {
                try
                {
                    Camera c = new Camera();
                    _logger.LogInformation(c.ToString());
                }
                catch (Exception e)
                {
                    _logger.LogError(e.Message);
                }
            });
        }
    }

Here are the different behaviors I have with different situations:

Situation 1 - simple console app with net 5.0 : -> working because I can access the object and Emulation (0815-0000) and open the camera

info: akatech.ui.electron.Services.CameraService[0]
      Emulation (0815-0000)

situation 2 - run this application with visual studio debug/run : -> working because I can access the object and Emulation (0815-0000) and open the camera

info: akatech.ui.electron.Services.CameraService[0]
      Emulation (0815-0000)
info: Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime[0]
      Now listening on: https://localhost:5001
info: Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime[0]
      Now listening on: http://localhost:5000
info: Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime[0]
      Application started. Press Ctrl+C to shut down.
info: Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime[0]
      Hosting environment: Development
info: Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime[0]
      Content root path: C:\Dev\Projects\Akatech\akatech.ui.electron\akatech.ui.electron

Situation 3 - When I run the application with electronize start command

it stops here and nothing happen, no errors, no messages, waiting indefinitely

Electron Socket IO Port: 8009
Electron Socket started on port 8009 at 127.0.0.1
ASP.NET Core Port: 8010
stdout: Use Electron Port: 8009

Situation 4 - When I remove the first Camera camera = new Camera() before the Electron.IpcMain.On in order try to create the camera after the application is completely started

    public class CameraService : ICameraService
    {
        private readonly ILogger<CameraService> _logger;

        public CameraService(ILogger<CameraService> logger)
        {
            _logger = logger;
            //Camera c = new Camera();
            //_logger.LogInformation(c.ToString());
            
            Electron.IpcMain.On("cam", async args =>
            {
                try
                {
                    Camera c = new Camera();
                    _logger.LogInformation(c.ToString());
                }
                catch (Exception e)
                {
                    _logger.LogError(e.Message);
                }
            });
        }
    }

When the event is triggered by the frontend with

electron.ipcRenderer.send('cam', "info")

I got just an error Got disconnected! Reason: transport close

I tried to add a breakpoint before the new camera in the IPC (situation 4) with the attatch process feature. I got this exception but I don't now if it is correlated System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

situation 5 : I did also clone the https://github.com/ElectronNET/electron.net-musicplayer-sample sample which is netcore3.1 and Electron.net api 5.30.1 and everything is working (IPC event create camera and create camera at the class instanciation) I also noticed that this sample with the same api 5.30.1 with netcore5 instead of netcore3.1 also does not work (same behavior as the situation 3 and 4)

We really do want to use netcore5 as well as the latest versions of your library that is very promising!

I really hope someone could help us ! 👍
