Using mdXaml in VSIX extension

[cpgames]

I've been trying to get it working for several days so not sure if this is possible. When running VS instance I get an error:
FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'MdXaml, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I am guessing one of the dependencies from nuget packages is not automatically installed in vsix folder, but I am struggling to find which ones.

I tried to create a VSIX extension with MdXaml. And it seems to work.

Can I look your project?

Sorry for late update, my project is https://github.com/cpgames/RefactorGraph I've had to explicitly include MdXaml.dll and ICSharpCode.AvalonEdit.dll to my project with a 'copy to output directory' flag set to get this working. It seems to work, but it would be nice if it could get the NuGet package to download automatically.

I have used VS 2022 Community, which is added visual studio extension development toolset, in freshly installed windows 10.
I have tried building and running your project without the DLL copy settings and it seems to work. NuGet download MdXaml and AvalonEdit automatically, and both dlls are copied to the bin directory at build time.

I don't know what's going on, but it looks like something may be wrong with your visual studio.

Hi, seems that if only use the control from XAML it throws an exception complaining that it can't find the DLL. I think your example works because you actually create it in code.

I solved it in my case by just creating a fake new viewer just before the InitializeComponent():

var _ = new MdXaml.MarkdownScrollViewer();

InitializeComponent();
