Hi;

I have a program built using .NET 1.1 that runs fine under .NET 1.1. It is a
Word Add-In written in C#.

However, if I install .NET 2.0 on a system, then I get an exception in my
code. The exception occurs where my C# code calls my J# code (the program is
composed of 2 projects, the C# project is 98% of the code and the J# project
is the other 2%).

I get the following:
System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for
'WindwardBear.utils.Cipher' threw an exception. --->
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: File or assembly name 'vjslib,
Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a', or one
of its dependencies was not found.

Any idea what is going on? I thought if I was using .NET 1.1 then .NET 2.0
had zero effect on my program???

Hi

Have you tried to use supportedruntime element in the app.config to use the
net 1.1 as the runtime? Because by default the application will use the
recently framework.

Also you may try to use the fuslogvw tool to monitor the binding process
when you run the program which will tell in which situation the binding
failed.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cptools/htm
l/cpgrffusionlogviewerfuslogvwexe.asp

You may have a try.

Hello;

I can't use app.config because this is an Add-In for Word and I can't set
the word.exe.config because word is not my program.

Also, if just .net 2.0 is installed, then my Add-In won't run because it
wants .NET 1.1. So I don't think it is trying to use the .NET 2.0 framework -
is it?

I'll try the binding tool although based on the exception I am pretty sure
it's going to say it tried to bind to VSJ# and couldn't.

thanks - dave

Hi

I think to troubleshooting the problem, you may try to use the handle two
.net assembly load and resolved event.

In the OnConnection method, we can handle the two events and prompt the
current CLR version.(1.1 or 2.0)
            AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AssemblyResolve+=new
ResolveEventHandler(CurrentDomain_AssemblyResolve);
            AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AssemblyLoad+=new
AssemblyLoadEventHandler(CurrentDomain_AssemblyLoad);
            MessageBox.Show(System.Environment.Version.ToString());

//Those assembly is loaded failed and then we can load manually and return.
        private static Assembly CurrentDomain_AssemblyResolve(object sender,
ResolveEventArgs args)
        {
            //call return Assembly.Load("Assembly text name, Version, Culture,
PublicKeyToken", "MyType");
            Debug.WriteLine("CurrentDomain_AssemblyResolve " +args.Name);
            return null;
        }
//Those assembly that is loaded successfully.
        private static void CurrentDomain_AssemblyLoad(object sender,
AssemblyLoadEventArgs args)
        {
            Debug.WriteLine(args.LoadedAssembly);
        }

Hi;

Is there any way to get this debug output without running the program under
Visual Studio?

Hi

There is tool named debug view which will capture the debug.writeline. Also
you can write the log into a file.

Hi;

I tried debugview - it didn't work. I'll try the write to a log file
approach. But I think something is very wrong for running a .NET 1.1 app that
uses J# when .NET 2.0 (but no VJ# 2.0) is installed.

Hi Dave,

From the fuslogview, we will know that after install .net 2.0, the
winword.exe will run under the .net 2.0.
Since .net 2.0 is still in beta release, we did not recommend we use it in
our production environment, also for beta product we can post the problem
under the link below.
http://beta.microsoft.com

So far as a workaround, I think we can use the config file to tell winwork
to use .net 1.1.
<configuration>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v1.1.4322"/>
</startup>
</configuration>

BTW: you may try to install .net 2.0 J# lib to see if that works.

Hi;

I don't have a guest ID to get in to beta. Can someone let them know of this
issue or can I get a guest ID? (I do have a MSDN universal subscription.)

thanks - dave

Hi

We have a definitely newsgroup about Whidbey.
Welcome to the Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Newsgroups
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=whidbey&slcid=us

For the beta.microsoft.com, here is I get from the page.

If you are interested in becoming a beta tester for a program, sign in with
your Microsoft .Net Passport account. When prompted, enter the GuestID
'BetaReq' and then go to the Potential Testers program.

We need a .NET Passport account you may check the link
http://www.passport.net and then use the GuestID 'BetaReq' to login.

Hi;

Here is some more possibly pertinent information. I finally got my Add-In to
run under Visual Studio on the test machine. But I can only do it if the .NET
2.0 runtime is not installed. If the .NET 2.0 runtime is installed - then as
soon as Word trys to load the Add-In, it exists. No exception of any kind -
it just exits.

Needless to say, this means I cannot get Debug.Writeln() statements when
.NET 2.0 is installed.

??? - thanks - dave

I set both:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion\ForceLog registry value to 1
and
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion\LogResourceBinds registry value to 1

then ran fuslogvw - nothing in it. Ran my program again, pressed refresh,
still no entries. Exited and restarted fuslogvw - still no entries.

The link you gave me says fuslogvw shows TypeLoadException errors and I am
getting a TypeInitializationException - so could it be that this dosen't show
in fuslogvw?

What do I do next?

thanks - dave

Hi all;

Ok, here's th scoop. You have to do a windword.exe.config (which you can't
depened on so you're screwed) telling it to use .NET 1.1. Then it works.
Otherwise it does not work if .NET 2.0 is loaded even though it is used .NET
1.1 for the Add-In.
