VB Sample Code Not Working in VS 2019

[Ashutosh]

Hi,

I downloaded the VB Sample Code / Projects from another thread here.

None of the sample Projects run in VB.

Please Help. Thanks

Some Examples of the errors are reproduced below:

Hi Ashutosh, 

Thank you for using Syncfusion products. 

We have checked the reported issue in our end, we found the assemblies which referred only the 4.6 version. This error occurred due to the mismatching of frame work version and Syncfusion assembly reference version. For this we suggest you to change the version of the application frame work in project file to 4.0 or use assembly reference as 18.4400.0.39. Otherwise you have to refer the dll’s that are installed in the system and the assembly details can be found from the following installed location.  

  

“<Installed Location>\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\ 18.4.0.39 \precompiledassemblies”  

  

You can refer the below KB link to avoid the assembly conflicts,

Also you can refer the below forum which provides more details about the same issue which you are faced.

Hi,

After some additional investigation, I opened up the NuGet Package Manager For the PDFViewer solution.

I noticed an error for missing references to 3 or 4 packages and used the 'restore' option to fix that.

The solution had 'Syncfusion.Core' referenced in the solution explorer.

There was no NuGet Package for this. Either it does not exist now, is redundant and removed, or was not needed in the solution.

I deleted the reference from the solution explorer and the solution now started.

while it appears that the problem has been solved, do let me know what the above means.

Was it a problem with my installation of Syncfusion? Are any Syncfusion components missing?

Thanks

Regards

Ashutosh

Hi Ashutosh, 

 

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. 

 

We have removed the Syncfusion.Core dependency from the WinForms PDF Viewer control few releases ago, and the PDF Viewer control will now work without the Syncfuion.Core dependency. We will remove this dependency from our VB samples in our upcoming release. 

 

Please let us know if you need any further assistance on this. 

 

Regards, 

Divya
