  • 1.  Datacap Custom Action Debugging

    Posted Tue July 23, 2024 04:02 PM

    Hello All,

    I received a new laptop and trying to get everything up and running. I install Datacap 9.1.9 iFix04 on the new laptop but had 9.1.9 iFix02 on the old one. Everything seems to be working except when I try and debug custom actions. This was working on my old laptop but not on the new one. The custom actions are working but not launching the debugger. I have uncommented the Debugger.Launch(); line, built and copied the new dll and pdb files to the rules folder of my application. I even changed the code to log information to let me know the new version of the dll is running. 

     I do not remember anything I had to do to get this to work in the past. Both laptops are the same running Windows 10. 

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Bob

    Hey Bob, 

    Without the custom library on the new Laptop running ifix 4 is everything working?  When you said run debugger, are you referring to the test tab in dstudio?
    The only things I can think of is the custom.dll was built using .NET version depending on the version of MS Visual Studio it was built with.   Try looking at your old ifix 2 working system in "add and remove" if the MS redistributor version is on the new laptop also.  Compare with the old laptop.

    I would just install all these because Datacap action library are built with different redistributable. 

    Happy Hunting!   Best of luck!  Hope that was the issue.

    Hi Duke,

    Everything in Datacap Studio seems to be working fine after ifix4. Yes, I am referring to the Test tab in Datacap Studio. The changes I make to the custom actions dll are working just not the automatic attaching to Visual Studio when I uncomment the Debugger.Launch(); 

    I did try using debug/Attach to process in Visual Studio and that works. Just not automatically opening VS from DS. 

    I checked the runtimes on both computers, and they seem the same.
