Why do all your librairies Stop Working everytime there's a new version of VS or/and .Net Core ???

Hi Patrick Lapointe, 

Greetings from Syncfusion.  

We suspect that this issue occurs due to any one or more following configurations are missing in your machine. 

We would like to let you know that, Syncfusion Blazor latest version (17.3.0.10-beta) is compatible with latest version of .NET Core 3.0. So, we suggest you to upgrade the .NET Core 3.0 SDK in your machine to resolve the reported issue. 

 

You may haven’t correctly configured our scripts and CSS files properly in your application. We suggest you to recheck the below client resources in your application end and ensure the same version of NuGet version is referenced for the scripts and CSS files also. 

 

If you are using Blazor server app, please add below client resource file references in '~/pages/_host.cshtml'.

     If you are using Blazor WebAssembly app, please add the below client resource file references in '~/wwwroot/index.html'.  

     

<link rel='nofollow' href="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/17.3.10/material.css" rel="stylesheet" /> <script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/17.3.10/dist/ej2.min.js"></script>

 

               

We have modified some changes in our blazor samples for each release. So, we suspected that, you might have missed some breaking changes. Please refer the below link for release notes of our blazor components.  

       https://ej2.syncfusion.com/blazor/documentation/release-notes/index/ 

 

We suspect that, this issue occurred, due to the cache problem. Before restoring the nuget packages, clean the old version Syncfusion.EJ2.Blazor nuget package. Please find the below steps to clean the cache.  

If you are still facing the same issue, then please share the below details to us. It will be helpful for us to sort out the issue as soon as possible.

Hi Saranya,

Hi Patrick,

  this hasn't anything to do with syncfusion, but with the breaking changes Microsoft introduced, when changing to aspnet.core3 preview9.

   regards

Patrick, 

Blazor evolved from experimental to the GA release of the server-side version in Sept. 23 2019 within one year. I started with version 0.2 and every version change resulted in several or many time consuming breaking changes to my project which is in production since 0.7. The client-side part of blazor even still is in preview 9. Dealing with such a new technology is always a risk. I am really happy that syncfusion dared to offer their (beta) controlset for blazor. I think the syncfusion team is doing a great job because it always took them just a few days to bring out a corrected version after a new microsoft preview release with breaking changes. In addition to that they have a really fast responding support team. 

I can understand your frustration, but I would not blame the syncfusion team - they are doing their best. If they can keep their level of support and dedication to blazor together with blazor maturing in the next few months the toolset will be an excellent choice to work with. 

regards 

Uwe 

Do you have a working version of the project 'ej2-blazor-samples' ?

 yes,  I am using the last available version on github.

It's failing on my end with VS 16.4.0 Preview 1.0 and .Net Core 3.0 RC1.

Problem with UriHelper?

    protected override void OnInitialized(){
        UriHelper.NavigateTo("Grid/DefaultFunctionalities?theme=material");
    }

Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.NavigationException

  HResult=0x80131500
  Message=Exception of type 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.NavigationException' was thrown.
  Source=Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.Server
  StackTrace:
   at Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.Server.Circuits.RemoteNavigationManager.NavigateToCore(String uri, Boolean forceLoad)
   at Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.NavigationManager.NavigateTo(String uri, Boolean forceLoad)
   at ej2_blazor_samples.Pages.Index.OnInitialized() in C:\ej2-blazor-samples-master_core3preview9\Pages\Index.razor:line 18
   at Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.ComponentBase.<RunInitAndSetParametersAsync>d__20.MoveNext()

Then also crashes in OnAfterRender...

System.NullReferenceException: 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.'

    protected override void OnAfterRender(bool firstRender)
    {
        this.ListDataSource = SampleBrowser.CurrentControl;
        this.SampleList.DataSource = this.ListDataSource;
        this.SampleList.DataBind();
        SampleBrowser.CurrentControl.ForEach(sample =>
        {
            if (sample.Name == SampleBrowser.CurrentSampleName)
            {
                SampleBrowser.CurrentUrl = sample.Url;
            }
        });
        JsRuntime.InvokeAsync<string>("callResizeEvent");
    }

Doesn't look like anything is working...

first of all I would install core 3.0 GA (the newest version)

Visual Studio seems OK - I turned back to the NON preview version without problems - though the preview version should work as well.

In any case you should check for an update in the HELP menu of VS.

If you download the newest sample code from Syncfusion it should compile and run OK after you upgraded from RC1 to GA. Deleting bin and obj folders may also help.

If you use the Syncfusion controls in your own projects you will have to eliminate the breaking changes produced by Microsoft. Especially preview8 and preview9 had quite a number of it. Took me quite some time to fix this. Also some parts of the syncfusion controls had to be adjusted. To check this, I look for new sample code every few days on their github site to have an actual code reference or I ask for support which is responding extremely fast (compared to what I was used to)

As core 3.0 GA is out, there will not be so many changes and the situation will cool down. Next step will be core 3.1 in November and release of the client-side blazor in May 2020.

Uwe,

I have LATEST versions of VS 2019 Preview, .Net Core 3, Syncfusion and the Syncfusion sample project !

It compiles but crashes at runtime in at least 2 areas !

I was told this new version of the sample project was functional.

It is not !

It should !

Does Syncfusion care to comment ?

Sorry for the delay. There seems to be a break in the latest version of ASP.NET Core in debug mode. 

https://github.com/aspnet/AspNetCore/issues/14464

Could you please try to run a sample browser in release mode?

Regards, 

Vijay

Sample does run correctly in Release mode.

In Debug mode it will run if moving UriHelper from OnInitialized to OnAfterRender and commenting SampleBrowser in NavMenu as follows...

    //protected override void OnInitialized()
    //{
    //    UriHelper.NavigateTo("Grid/DefaultFunctionalities?theme=material");
    //}
    protected override void OnAfterRender(bool firstRender)
    {
        UriHelper.NavigateTo("Grid/DefaultFunctionalities?theme=material");
    /}

    protected override void OnAfterRender(bool firstRender)
    {
        //UriHelper.NavigateTo("Grid/DefaultFunctionalities?theme=material");

        this.ListDataSource = SampleBrowser.CurrentControl;
        this.SampleList.DataSource = this.ListDataSource;
        this.SampleList.DataBind();
        //SampleBrowser.CurrentControl.ForEach(sample =>
        //{
        //    if (sample.Name == SampleBrowser.CurrentSampleName)
        //    {
        //        SampleBrowser.CurrentUrl = sample.Url;
        //    }
        //});
        JsRuntime.InvokeAsync<string>("callResizeEvent");
    }

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for your suggestion. We have resolved the issue and update the Github Blazor samples.

Same errors occur in your new version...

UriHelper.NavigateTo error...

Hi Patrick,

We have resolved the issue of running the sample browser in release mode by default which was previously targeted to debug mode. However, we have checked your solution which created problem in the left hand treeview (sample list) in initial render. We will check to resolve the issue in debug mode and update you by Oct 14, 2019

Hi Patrick,

Could you please check the below link which we shared already ? 

https://github.com/aspnet/AspNetCore/issues/14464

They have said it is intended behavior by design and they have suggested how to skip the exception. Could you please follow it.
