converting resx files with 4.1.0.62 fails

[Administrator]

We''ve updated syncfusion from 4.101.0.50 to the assemblies 4.102.0.62.

But now the converter from the newest version cannot convert the resx files.

Exception:
UnauthorizedAccessException when converter is trying to access the pathes of resx files.

We didn''t make any changes in the CodeAccessSecurity.
And there is no problem when we change the references and lic files back to 4.101.0.50 and try to call converter 2.0 there.

Any idea why this exception occures with 4.102.0.62?

thx

For the main resx file not language specific a serialisation exception occured. And it''s a problem with the GridBagConstraintsConverter ... The attached bmp is a screenshot of the exception from your log in the converter tool. Copy the exception from your tool was not possible. But this would be helpful for giving your support more detailed informations about errors in your tool. So the attached file contains a screenshot from the visible exception text of your tool. thx for your help Lars

Hi Lars, Could you please try downloading and running the Converter Tool from this location: ftp://syncpatch.syncfusion.com/misc/migration.zip Thanks, Davis

Hi Davis,

here is the log of the exception.

System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException: Type could not be read from the data in line 477, position 5. The type''s internal structure may have changed. Either implement ISerializable on the type or provide a type converter that can provide a more reliable conversion format, such as text or an array of bytes. The conversion exception was: Member ''GridPosX'' was not found. ---> System.Xml.XmlException: Type could not be read from the data in line 477, position 5.

Hi Davis,

i have found following problem in your forum.

We could convert the the resx files now!

But the resx conversions forced the related cs file to delete many properties and this is very bad because all our layouts not working.

The conversion was working with 4.101.0.50 and didn''t influence any code and application still got the layouts.
Only problem we had with 4.101.0.50 that the controls was not editable in Designer of VS 2005!

So we''ve installed your patch 4.102.0.62 and converted the resx files.
Now they editable with VS 2005 but some changes of your conversions was deleting many code (properties of used controls) in the cs file.
What''s that for?

For me it looks like many sideeffects occured in the patch changes related to the conversion tool.
And many layout and formatting bugs coldn''t be solved especially for GridBagLayouts.

So,how to proceed now?

Thanks

I might found the reason for the problems. The binary description in the resx file is invalid. We didn''t set any constraints in the property section,all are using default. Maybee thats the reason why only this control has the problem. Because our other controls with GridBagLayouts are using manually settings in constraints instead the default and there we have no problems. Also your customer who had the same problem and postet his problems here in the forum are using default settings for the constraints and did not change them. Thats what the binary information is showing us. Maybee it helps you to fix the problems. Default values in the property "Contraints on" might cause buggy binary entries in resx files.

Hi Larsk, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I was able to reproduce the problem regarding the GridBagLayout and have notified our development team regarding this issue. This problem seems to be raised because of structural changes made for fix #1472 1472. We will try our very best to fix this issue at the earliest. Defect #1810 - GridBagLayout throws error as Resource transformation for file ''''ctlExtraction.resx'''' failed. I will update you once this issue is fixed along with the download link. Thanks for your patience. Best Regards, Seetha
