The type 'RectangleF' exists in both 'Syncfusion.Pdf.UWP, and 'System.Drawing.Primitives, Version=4.2.0.0

Hi,

When i use RectangleF it gives an error:

The type 'RectangleF' exists in both 'Syncfusion.Pdf.UWP,  and 'System.Drawing.Primitives, Version=4.2.0.0

How can i resolve this?. 

I have tried the method give in thread 133540.  but when i click on the Syncfusion.Pdf.UWP reference to check its properties and give it aliases there is nothing there. 

As you can see there is nothing in the properties of the assembly.

Hi Abeer,

 

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion.

 

The alias can be added for the nuget package reference using below code snippet.

Please add below code snippet in *.csproj

<Target Name="TargetName" BeforeTargets="BeforeTargetName;ResolveReferences">

    <ItemGroup>

      <ReferencePath Condition="'%(FileName)' == 'Syncfusion.Pdf.UWP'">

        <Aliases>syncfusion</Aliases>

      </ReferencePath>

    </ItemGroup>

  </Target>

 

Refer the adding namespace to alias from the forum 133540, rest of the changes are same. Kindly try the suggestion in your side and let us know whether its resolve issue.

OK, i ran into another issue. 

I have placed a  PdfViewer and with its relevent namespace in xaml but VS raises some errors:

1.The type or namespace name 'Parsing' does not exist in the namespace 'Syncfusion.Pdf' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

2. The type or namespace name 'PdfDocumentBase' does not exist in the namespace 'Syncfusion.Pdf' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

so,  how can i give alias in xaml namespace

Hi Abeer, 

 

Thank you for your update. 

 

We suggest you to set the alias name in *.csproject as “global,Syncfusion” to resolve the xaml namespace issue. Please find the code snippet below for your reference.  

<Target Name="ChangeAliases" BeforeTargets="FindReferenceAssembliesForReferences;ResolveReferences"> 

        <ItemGroup> 

            <ReferencePath Condition="'%(FileName)' == 'Syncfusion.Pdf.UWP'"> 

                <Aliases>global,syncfusion</Aliases>               

      </ReferencePath>                     

    </ItemGroup> 

 

Kindly try our suggestion and let us know your result.
