Failed to load my project dll when using modeless dialog
Hello!
When using a modeless wpf dialog with AsyncEventHandler my own project's dll isn't loaded when I need it in an Action given as parameter to AsyncEventHandler. The RaiseAsync() fails then. When I call a method of this dll before showing the dialog, the dll is loaded correctly.
How can I ensure, that my project's dll is loaded correctly without having to call a method of this dll before showing the modeless dialog?
Thanks in advance!
Use ExternalCommand instead of IExternalCommand. ExternalCommand ships with a dependency resolver and IExternalCommand without, so your plugin didn't recognize where it could get dependencies
Which option doesn't work? If you use the Show method, WPF creates a window in another thread and completes the ExternalCommand accordingly. You need to create ViewModel and ExternalEvent before calling Show. For example as here https://github.com/Nice3point/RevitTemplates/blob/develop/samples/SingleProjectWpfModelessApplication/RevitAddIn/ViewModels/RevitAddinViewModel.cs Create a readonly field
Hi, thank you for answering so fast:)
I already do it as you recommend, create ViewModel and ExternalEvent before calling show. The difference to your sample project is, that I want to call code from the modeless dialog which is not in the same project, but in my Core.dll. This .dll can then not be loaded and I don't reach the CallTestMethod() which I want to raise in the asyncEventHandler. If I call any method of this Core.dll before Showing the dialog everything works fine (see comments in code), but this would be a very messy workaround.
Than try to wrap your code CallTestMethod() with ResolveHelper.BeginAssemblyResolve https://github.com/Nice3point/RevitToolkit#resolvehelper
Revit often fails to load third-party libraries, and when using the Show method instead of ShowDialog, the Toolkit scope ends when you exit ExternalCommand. ResolveHelper can help
