Yesterday I did the update to VS (15.3), .NET Standard 2.0, .NET Core SDK 2.0 and so on. After that my current Xamarin Forms project broke. Most packages lost compatibility (although I did not change the standard1.4 version of the library). So I created a new standard1.4 library through VS (as stated here: https://xamarinhelp.com/visual-studio-2017-net-standard-xamarin/). I copied the code from the old Xamarin library to the new one and added all packages.
The problem now is that all xaml and xaml.cs are splitted and I get compile errors. I cant connect the files as I was used to (How can I connect xaml and xaml.cs files), because the csproj has completely changed through the evolution of netstandard. Whats even more astonishing is that even when I add a new xaml page to the project, the xaml and xaml.cs files are splitted. How can I fix this behavior?
Found the solution, through my post on the Microsoft Developer Network (https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/96027/vs-153-netstandard-xaml-and-xamlcs-seperated-and-c.html)
Credit to Long Nguyen (see source):
Fixed it by following this article:
https://oren.codes/2017/04/23/using-xamarin-forms-with-net-standard-vs-2017-edition/
In the .csproj file, you can see he declare the .xaml pages:
<ItemGroup>
<!-- https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=55591 -->
<None Remove="***.xaml" />
<Compile Update="***.xaml.cs" DependentUpon="%(Filename)" />
<EmbeddedResource Include="***.xaml" SubType="Designer" Generator="MSBuild:UpdateDesignTimeXaml" />
</ItemGroup>
After doing the changes to the csproj, it should pick up the xaml and xaml.cs files again.

Having an issue getting a dependency to deploy w/ a VB.NET WinForms app. The app runs, but errors when the DLL is referenced/used.. The DLL is not inside the user's install directory upon inspection.
I installed a new NuGet package (first NuGet in this solution) and it works great. I've implemented it, tested locally. Looking at the bin folder (this is in debug), I see the DLLs are all there.. great.
I can publish the application w/ ClickOnce with "No Issues". I am deploying to IIS 8.0 w/ a Web Share. The DLL isn't there though on the web server, either.
The "Application Files..." menu under "Publish" has all CefSharp references as "include", "required", "include" across all cols. This forces ClickOnce to include them as resources right?
Under references in Visual Studio, they're all set to Copy Local = True.
However... when I change Copy Local nothing changes in my GIT history/change history!! Visual Studio sees and recognizes the .vbproj was modified, however there weren't any visible (unicode?) changes. I can commit.
I am on the latest version of Visual Studio, VS2019 16.8.2 for Blazor/ASP.NET Core reasons. Should I try downgrading?
I added a Chromium wrapper based control to replace the generic IE7 Web Control in .NET Framework. I'm working in an .NET 4.6 app. x86.

I'm using the CefSharp.Common and CefSharp.WinForms namespaces in my application.

SOLVED BY: Edit: This didn't fully solve my issue alone but was a hack attempt to bring in all resources, manually, and it worked.
Edit 3: OK None of these solutions worked including downgrading to 16.4 lol that was fun. Please install your required CefLibrary.WinForms etc libraries..
Then build the project.. it needs to actually build.
This generates .dlls in your \bin directory in your file system.
Edit 4: Gave up. Visual Studio 16.8.2 and 16.8.1 are both just outright broken. You can do down the rabbit hole (this is December 2020) but it looks like the visual studio team
https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/issues/48679
is having issues with references right now. (that one feature that's been the same for 20 years) They don't even have an eta - after they broke a crucial feature - in a enterprise/production product. This wasn't a preview lol. How did this pass unit testing :D
For my use case of CefSharp I needed to load a PDF. I am not directly using an Adobe ActiveX control instead.
Take a look at this request https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/issues/3274
This was very very recent (nov 2020) and he "fixed" it
Move these out to a better place, maybe a "references" folder then actually reference them manually through VS2019 like you would any other .dll.
I'm assuming this is a bug and not the intended workflow since it wasted almost 10 hours of rabbit hole googling nearly. <-- This was in fact a bug.
Solution: There is none. Evidently. On the latest version of everything as of Dec 2nd 2020 - stable and all - your own CefSharp implementation will be broken even when properly setting up to spec of other examples if compiling w/ 16.8.1 or 16.8.2 (but it doesn't seen to be working with 16.6.2 either)
https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/issues/3274
I am following the basic starter example shown here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/desktop/modernize/host-custom-control-with-xaml-islands
I have followed it as closely as I can. I can get it working if I put my user control in with the UWP app (different to the example) but not as it is with the usercontrol in the class library.
Firstly, when I run the example as it is, I get:
"WindowsXamlManager and DesktopWindowXamlSource are supported for apps targeting Windows version 10.0.18226.0 and later. Please check either the application manifest or package manifest and ensure the MaxTestedVersion property is updated."
The only solution I can find to this was to add a manifest file to the wpf project containing:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<assembly manifestVersion="1.0" xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<compatibility xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:compatibility.v1">
<application>
<!-- Windows 10 -->
<maxversiontested Id="10.0.18362.0"/>
<supportedOS Id="{8e0f7a12-bfb3-4fe8-b9a5-48fd50a15a9a}" />
</application>
</compatibility>
</assembly>
After that, I did not see that error, but when the wpf form loads, I see "Cannot create control of type ClassLibrary1.MyUserControl1", but no clues as to why.
Anyone know what I am doing wrong, how to find out what the problem is of know of any examples that do work?
I downloaded your project package and I found that you missed a step.
It's the forth step in Create a custom UWP control
Before the closing element, add the following XML to disable several properties and then save the project file. These properties must be enabled to host the custom UWP control in a WPF (or Windows Forms) app.
<PropertyGroup>
<EnableTypeInfoReflection>false</EnableTypeInfoReflection>
<EnableXBindDiagnostics>false</EnableXBindDiagnostics>
</PropertyGroup>
After you add this code to ClassLibrary1.csproj, clean up the class library and rebuild it, then everything will work.
Best regards.
Can someone explain the purpose of this two in csproj file (VS2017):
<TargetFramework>netstandard1.6</TargetFramework>
<RuntimeIdentifier>win7</RuntimeIdentifier>
I just migrated from VS2015 and now can't publish my web api because it looks I should use only one target framework. In addition I can't specify multiple RIDs.
All these changed things make me frustrated. Nothing works from scratch, should overcome something over and over.
I just want developing my web-api on windows, run xUnit tests here and then deploy web-api to run on linux (ubuntu) server.
What I should put in both parameters in csproj ?
Links with good explanation is highly appreciated.
Update1
I have web api with referenced .net core libraries. Everything where migrated from VS2015. Now in root project I have
<TargetFrameworks>netcoreapp1.1;net461</TargetFrameworks>. When I publish via VS2017 I got error:
C:\Program
Files\dotnet\sdk\1.0.3\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\buildCrossTargeting\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.targets(31,5):
error : The 'Publish' target is not supported without specifying a
target framework. The current project targets multiple frameworks,
please specify the framework for the published application.
But I have specified target framework in publish as netcoreapp1.1.
OK. Then I updated my csproj with <PropertyGroup Condition="$(TargetFramework)'=='netcoreapp1.1'">
<RuntimeIdentifier>ubuntu.16.10-x64</RuntimeIdentifier>
</PropertyGroup> as suggested below.
But now I even can't build app, get error:
5>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio\2017\Enterprise\MSBuild\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\build\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.targets(92,5):
error : Assets file '\obj\project.assets.json' doesn't
have a target for '.NETCoreApp,Version=v1.1/ubuntu.16.10-x64'. Ensure
you have restored this project for TargetFramework='netcoreapp1.1' and
RuntimeIdentifier='ubuntu.16.10-x64'.
I just want develop with VS2017 at windows 8.1/windows7 and deploy to ubuntu 16.10.
What I'm doing wrong ?
Update2
I have 8 projects in solution. 3 of them are xUnit tests. Thus we have 5 projects. 4 of these 5 are class libraries and 1 is my web-app.
All 4 class libraries have this:
<TargetFrameworks>netstandard1.6;net461</TargetFrameworks>
<ItemGroup Condition=" '$(TargetFramework)' == 'net461' ">
<Reference Include="System" />
<Reference Include="Microsoft.CSharp" />
</ItemGroup>
My web app:
<TargetFrameworks>netcoreapp1.1;net461</TargetFrameworks>
<ItemGroup Condition=" '$(TargetFramework)' == 'net461' ">
<Reference Include="System" />
<Reference Include="Microsoft.CSharp" />
</ItemGroup>
How to publish my web-app ?
The <TargetFramework> (or <TargetFrameworks> when you want have multiple targets, such as net451, one or multiple netstandard1.x etc). Per <TargetFramework> / <TargetFrameworks> entry one set of assemblies will be created and located inside bin\Debug\<targetframeworkid>).
This is useful, when you want to use a different library in .NET Core (because the library you used only works with full .NET Framework such as 4.5.1) or remove this feature from i.e. .NET Core because it's unsupported.
It is used for both, building and NuGet restore. i.e. you can't use a net451 only library in a .NET Core project (netstandard 1.1 for example - but you can use netstandard1.1 in a net451 project).
<RuntimeIdentifier> / <RuntimeIdentifiers> on the other side is used for NuGet mainly. It tells NuGet which packages you need. For example if you want to target Linux, Mac and Windows, certain assemblies require native libraries (such as encryption. On windows CryptoAPI will be used, but on Linux and Mac you need OpenSSL). This includes non-managed dlls and *.so (Linux) files.
i.e. <RuntimeIdentifiers>win7-x64;win7-x86;ubuntu.16.10-x64</RuntimeIdentifiers> will make nuget restore packages for win7 (both x64 and x86) versions and x64 only for ubuntu. This is required, because when you work on windows you need to download these native libraries too so you deploy/package them with dotnet publish.
Here's a little catch though: When you have a full .NET Framework reference in <TargetFramework> or <TargetFrameworks>, then you must specify a single <RuntimeIdentifier> (singular, not plural <RuntimeIdentifiers>), otherwise you will get an error.
For example:
<PropertyGroup>
<TargetFrameworks>netstandard1.0;net451</TargetFrameworks>
<RuntimeIdentifiers>win7-x64;win7-x86;ubuntu.16.10-x64</RuntimeIdentifiers>
</PropertyGroup>
<!-- This entry will only be used for the .NET Framework 4.5.1 output -->
<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(TargetFramework)' == 'net451'">
<RuntimeIdentifier>win7-x64</RuntimeIdentifier>
</PropertyGroup>
RID is short for Runtime IDentifier. RIDs are used to identify target
operating systems where an application or asset (that is, assembly)
will run. They look like this: "ubuntu.14.04-x64", "win7-x64",
"osx.10.11-x64". For the packages with native dependencies, it will
designate on which platforms the package can be restored.
More in docs
First change to proper RID from win7 to win7-x64 or win7-x86. Next add other RID like ubuntu. For example:
<PropertyGroup>
<TargetFramework>netstandard1.6</TargetFramework>
<RuntimeIdentifier>win7-x64;ubuntu.16.10-x64</RuntimeIdentifier>
</PropertyGroup>
Target framework looking good. For more read docs
Where do I put InternalsVisibleTo from AssemblyInfo in the new Visual Studio 2017 .csproj project file?
Just in case anyone would like to put InternalsVisibleTo within a .csproj file instead of AssemblyInfo.cs (a possible scenario is to have a naming convention between a project under test and a test project), you can do it like this:
<ItemGroup>
<AssemblyAttribute Include="System.Runtime.CompilerServices.InternalsVisibleTo">
<_Parameter1>$(MSBuildProjectName).Test</_Parameter1>
</AssemblyAttribute>
</ItemGroup>
Having this the following code will be generated
[assembly: System.Runtime.CompilerServices.InternalsVisibleTo("MyProject.Test")]
inside auto-generated AssemblyInfo.cs (e.g. for Debug configuration and .NET Standard 2.0 target)
/obj/Debug/netstandard2.0/MyProject.AssemblyInfo.cs
Additional Info
In case you're on .NET Core 3.1 and this approach isn't working, you may have to explicitly generate assembly info by adding the following to your .csproj file:
<PropertyGroup>
<!-- Explicitly generate Assembly Info -->
<GenerateAssemblyInfo>true</GenerateAssemblyInfo>
</PropertyGroup>
As of .NET 5 (and newer .NET versions) this actually works once added to your csproj:
<ItemGroup>
<InternalsVisibleTo Include="YourProject.Tests.Unit" />
</ItemGroup>
Work and discussion around this feature can be seen on this PR on dotnet's GitHub repo.
To clarify Hans Passant's comment above, you simply have to add InternalsVisibleTo to any cs file in your project. For example, I created an AssemblyInfo.cs file in the root of the project and then added the following content (only):
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;
[assembly: InternalsVisibleTo("DynamicProxyGenAssembly2, PublicKey=<ADD_KEY_HERE>")]
With .net core (project.json) I used to switch between nuget packages and source code by adding the path to source code to the projects field in the global.json. After I did that it would add all the projects that it could find in that path that could replace the nuget packages I referenced.
I used this feature alot because I have my own nuget packages that I use, but I want to test the changes in my other project before I publish. But once I switched to Sdk 1.0.0/VS 2017/csproj .net core that feature seemed to disappear.
The alternative is just manually adding each project, switch the references manually (since they are broken up into project, nuget and sdk references), and then after switch it all back.
Any thoughts or advice would be great.
UPDATE:
Sounds like there is no equivalent in csproj (as expected), but there are msbuild workarounds for now (As of the initial VS 2017/.NET Core SDK 1.0.0 release)
Yes, I too had gotten used to this functionality and built my workflow around it. I am still looking for a solution but I'm currently playing with the idea of using conditional logic in the csproj files. Since it's now msbuild, you can do things like this:
<Choose>
<When Condition="Exists('..\..\..\MyProject')">
<ItemGroup>
<ProjectReference Include="..\..\..\MyProject\src\MyProject\MyProject.csproj" />
</ItemGroup>
</When>
<Otherwise>
<ItemGroup>
<PackageReference Include="MyProject" Version="1.0.0" />
</ItemGroup>
</Otherwise>
</Choose>
This replaces the hard reference to a package with a conditional that uses a project reference if it can find the source code (in this case the directory), and a package reference if can't.
So by default you would be referencing the package, but if you want to debug one of your projects, you check it out in the location that the conditional checks, and add the project to your solution.
This way you only need to change your solution file (by adding the project) when you want to include source code, instead of rewiring all your project references.
For others that are interested in attempting to emulate with Global.json did, I worked around this for now using a couple powershell scripts and a custom json file that mimics it. Check out my answer here:
