HyperLinkPropertyEditor

[CWolffIF]

Hi Tolis,

I´ve got 2 Problems. Both can be viewed in the detached sample. (VS2022, DevExpress 22.2.3)

1. if I try to use the HyperlinkPropertyEditor in a DetailView (only in DetailView) I got the error
   Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

   at Xpand.ExpressApp.Win.PropertyEditors.HyperLinkPropertyEditor.CreateControlCore()
   at DevExpress.ExpressApp.Editors.ViewItem.CreateControl()
   at DevExpress.ExpressApp.Win.Layout.WinLayoutManager.controlItem_QueryControl(Object sender, QueryControlEventArgs e)
   at DevExpress.ExpressApp.Win.Layout.XafLayoutControlItem.RaiseQueryControl()

2. If I try to open the Xpand ModelEditor I got the error
   "Multiple DevExpress versions found...."

did you read #970

[apobekiaris]

I guess you use VS there might be an issue there the plugin is not update long time now will test and update u how it works

[CWolffIF]

Can I work without the plugin?

[apobekiaris]

:) I liked the question, it really depends if you want you can always find ways to open a Xaf Model. For example the Xaf Standalone ME is what the plugin uses with the convenience of keyboard shortcut and the Model list. However since I guess you working one one solution you could create a command line script to open your models from a fixed path

[CWolffIF]

Open it in VS it always loads down the Version 4.212.9.4. with the error.
Do you have a sample how to open it in command line?

Yes, i cannot solve the problem with "Multiple DevExpress versions found...." already third day with rider plugin :(

I managed to get the standalone ME.
Try to open my projct, I got the error:

But the nuget reference is set and the file (System.Drawing.Common.dll vs 7.0.0.0) is in the debug.
Any Idea?

[apobekiaris]

my guess is it relates to whom uses .net7 and this is not the ME so is about your project

[apobekiaris]

I reviewed the case and I working on it, looks like we have a related bug in the source code as well so I need to release Xpand libs first

[CWolffIF]

Ok, good luck

[apobekiaris]

until I will manage to publish it you can try this one

https://e1.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZeq1mZlkmTiINqVb8bDx54KL3p6mDzRldk

[apobekiaris]

after the model view is open you use the Configure action on the bottom right and you Navigate to Application\ModelEditor and set the UsePrerelase attribute.

rember to clean up folders b4 running it

[CWolffIF]

Ok, it works with a simple project. Thanx.

In my project I get the error with the System.Drawing.Common.dll vs 7.0.0.0.. We use .net6. Any idea?

[apobekiaris]

sorry I misses your question, anyways what heppens if u add the file manually to the bin?

btw the pluin is now in the VS market place for direct download nothing changed from the posted version

[apobekiaris]

We use .net6. Any idea?

some of your dependecies then must be targeting .net7 so it needs this version. the story is well know u remove them all one by one to find what to blame and if u need a second opinion feel free to post

Hi,

the HyperlinkPropertyEditor throws an Error in CreateControlCore cause the _hyperlinkEdit.MaskBox in Null.

    protected override object CreateControlCore()
    {
        _hyperlinkEdit = new HyperLinkEdit();
        _hyperlinkEdit.MaskBox.Mask.MaskType = MaskType.RegEx;
        var maskProperties = _hyperlinkEdit.MaskBox.Mask;
        maskProperties.EditMask = UrlEmailMask;
        return _hyperlinkEdit;
    }

[CWolffIF]

OK I found it

System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement 7.0.0 needs System.Drawing.Common 7.0.0.
Both support .net6 and .net7, but it doesn´t work.

Setting both to
System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement 6.0.0 needs System.Drawing.Common 6.0.0.
it works. Puh......

[apobekiaris]

the HyperlinkPropertyEditor throws an Error in CreateControlCore cause the _hyperlinkEdit.MaskBox in Null.

does it work on any new solution? is it a side effect from your part?

[CWolffIF]

Yes, in a new sample

eXpand.lab release 22.2.400.0 includes commit that relate to this task:

• HyperLinkPropertyEditor Maskbox exception #971

Please test if it addresses the problem. If you use nuget add our LAB NugetServer as a nuget package source in VS.

To minimize version conflicts we recommend that you switch to PackageReference format and use only the eXpandAgnostic, eXpandWin, eXpandWeb packages. Doing so, all packages will be at your disposal and .NET will add a dependecy only to those packages that you actually use and not to all (see the Modules installation-registrations youtube video).

Thanks a lot for your contribution.
