Unable to add Horizontal or Vertical groups

Opened a project for the first time in 6 months to complete a change request. Upgraded to latest version Syncfusion WinForms, since I have rebuilt my PC in that time.

Opening the main form I get "Method not found: 'EnvDTE.Events EntDTE._DTE.get_Events()'"

As a result, all buttons on the Ribbon within a horizontal group have been deleted (when clicking on "Ignore these errors" in the designer).

Trying to "Add Horizontal Group" to replace these items and I get the same error.

The application compiles and runs ok with all buttons

Using Visual Studio 2022, Windows 11.

Steps to Reproduce:

  • Create a new Windows Forms (.NET Framework) application
  • Add a Ribbon bar to the main form
  • Add Main tab and a ToolStripEx
  • Try to add a Horizontal Group, the error is displayed.



Also, the installer failed to install the components in the toolbox and I had multiple "Process terminated" errors while installing. 

Also, the Visual Studio Extension to install items into the Toolbox is executed as a modal dialog but asks you to close Visual Studio. But I need Visual Studio in order to run the Extension. SMH.

Hi Paul Grimstrup,


Query 1: Form designer crashes while using the RibbonControlAdv in Visual Studio 2022.


We have already fixed the crash that occurred while opening the designer in Visual Studio 2022. Please find the patch file from the following location:


V19.4.0.38

Recommended approach - exe will perform automatic configuration.           

Please find the patch setup from below location:

Please find the patch assemblies alone from below location:

Installation Directions:           

This patch should replace the files "Syncfusion.Shared.Base”, “Syncfusion.Tools.Windows” under the following folder.        $system drive:\ Files\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\$Version # \precompiledassemblies\$Version#\[TargetFramework]           E.g. : $system drive:\Program Files\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\19.4.0.38\precompiledassemblies\19.4.0.38\4.6 


To automatically run the Assembly Manager, please check the Run assembly manager checkbox option while installing the patch. If this option is unchecked, the patch will replace the assemblies in precompiled assemblies’ folder only. Then, you must manually copy and paste them to the preferred location, or you must run the Syncfusion Assembly Manager application (available from the Syncfusion Dashboard, installed as a shortcut in the Application menu) to re-install assemblies.

Disclaimer:           

Please note that we have created this patch for version 19.4.0.38 specifically to resolve the issue reported in this forum. If you have received other patches for the same version for other products, please apply all patches in the order received. This fix will be included in our upcoming Volume 1 release which will be available in March 2022.


Query 2: Also, the installer failed to install the components in the toolbox, and I had multiple "Process terminated" errors while installing.


We deeply regret for the inconvenience caused.


Recently we have been facing the issue like alert message "Process terminated unexpectedly" during Syncfusion extension packages installation in Visual Studio 2022 installed machines.


Reason for this issue


The reported problem only occurs in the official version VS2022, and it does not exist in prior preview versions of Visual Studio. Microsoft resolved this issue in their latest preview version of Visual Studio 2022 version 17.1 Preview 1.



  

We are hoping that Microsoft will be including this fix in their upcoming official release too. 


Solution for this issue


1. If you are using the official release of VS 2022 17.0.1

reported Process terminated unexpectedly issue will occur during our setup installation and you
can click OK in the error window and proceed our Syncfusion setup’s installation.


2. Once installation completed, follow the steps mentioned in below kB article to configure the toolbox controls and extension packages.


https://www.syncfusion.com/kb/12934/the-process-terminated-unexpectedly-alert-shown-on-syncfusion-setup-installation
 

After this, Syncfusion toolbox and extension packages will be configured in the available Visual Studio 2022.


If still the reported installation problem not resolved, please share the following information with us.


  1. Kindly follow the steps suggested in the below KB article link and send us the zip file which consists of Syncfusion Installer logs generated by our too

             https://www.syncfusion.com/kb/2331/gather-log-file
 


  1. Windows OS version with build number






  1. List of Visual Studio versions installed. 
  2. Visual Studio 2022 version details


Please let us know if any concerns.  

Query 3: Also, the Visual Studio Extension to install items into the Toolbox is executed as a modal dialog but asks you to close Visual Studio. But I need Visual Studio to run the Extension. SMH.


We are using a toolbox utility to configure the control in the toolbox using extension and on running this tool, Visual Studio must be closed. You can reopen the VS once the utility is completed.

Subashini M.
