Try to integrate with AutoCAD plugin but failed

[shawn]

I am trying to integate Syncfusion.WPF with AutoCAD for plugin development, following error is shown  when enter 'SHOW' command in AutoCAD.

System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException:“'xxxx 'System.Windows.ResourceDictionary.DeferrableContent' 

”FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Syncfusion.SfInput.Wpf, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=3d67ed1f87d44c89'. 

Codes as follow:

Any suggestion?

Syncfusion.SfInput.WPF.dll was already placed at the directory same  with other dll files

[Rabina Murugan]

Hi shawn,

We would like to inform you that Syncfusion.SfInput.Wpf is not a dependency of Syncfusion.SfDataGrid.Wpf.

To assist in resolving the issue, please provide the following details:

• Which controls from SfInput are you using, and what is the purpose of the SfInput.Wpf DLL in your project?
• Verify that all DLLs in the bin folder are properly referenced and have same assembly versions.
• Specify the framework version of your project.

This information will help us to identify the root cause and provide an appropriate solution.

Regards,

Rabina

Here is my operating progress:

1 Create a sample wpf project with Syncfusion WPF Extension in visual studio 2022. Simply choose a datagrid controll for test.

2 Generate wpf project, and work fine, a datagrid shows up.

3 Create a sample autocad addon project in the same solution, and surely it work well.

4 Add sample wpf project as a reference into autocad addon project, then add calling code to show datagrid

    DataGrid1 dataGrid1 = new DataGrid1();

    dataGrid1.Show();

5 Manually add all dlls in $CAD_HOME\support, which generated at step 2, then Debug autocad addon project, bug error emitted!

  Syncfusion.Data.WPF.dll

  Syncfusion.Licensing.dll

  Syncfusion.SfGrid.WPF.dll

  Syncfusion.SfInput.WPF.dll

  Syncfusion.Shared.WPF.dll

  Syncfusion.Tools.WPF.dll

If i switch the wpf sample project to Winform controlls with same version, then it work fine.

Plus Info:

    AutoCAD.net: 25.0.1

    WPF Controlls: all 27.2.2

    framework: .net 8.0

[Rabina Murugan]

Hi shawn,

We have initiated the process to access the AutoCAD software to investigate the issue you encountered. We will provide further updates on or before February 27, 2025.

In the meantime, you can try resolving the FileNotFoundException by adding the following tag to your project file to make sure all Nuget packages are copied to the Output directory.

 

<CopyLocalLockFileAssemblies>true</CopyLocalLockFileAssemblies>

Please check if this solution resolves the issue and let us know the outcome.

Regards,

Rabina

Thanks for your help.

I found out a way to resovle my issue. 

If all WPF dlls were copyed into the same directory with acad.exe (AutoCAD exe Application), it worked successfully.

I suppose some resources used by Syncfusion.SfInput.WPF.dll are loaded by relative path with MainApplication, such as acad.exe, when dlls were putted in other directory, it would not be founded.

Following is error statck details.
