Using MapControl inside a win32 app with WPF GUI (NET Core)

Open ivan2007 opened this issue 4 years ago • 8 comments

Hi! I have a win32 app with a WPF GUI. I built the solution following this blog https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/porting-a-c-cli-project-to-net-core/ The projects in the solution are:

  • win32 native app
  • c++/cli NET Core library
  • WPF NET Core user control library

I added the map control to the WPF NET Core lib. Everything seems to work but there are various exceptions in the output window and also data binding errors

Is this a supported scenario? If it is, what am I missing?

Thanks!

Even without MapControl there are these exceptions: 'System.PlatformNotSupportedException' in System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.dll 'System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException' in System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.dll

Hey @michael-hawker can you help make sure this MapControl Win32 issue gets seen by the right person? Thanks 😊

Thanks @andrewleader we've been heads down on the 7.0 release and the WinUI team which owns XAML Islands has been focused on WinUI 3.

@marb2000 does this seem familiar at all?

@ivan2007 have you tried starting from the XAML Islands samples? https://github.com/marb2000/XamlIslands

I'm not sure if the MapControl needs to be in a packed app or not to function, this isn't my area of expertise. FYI @azchohfi too in case this seems familiar.

Hi @michael-hawker, I tried the MapControl in a simple WPF app with Net Core 3.1. Many of the exceptions are the same. Everything seems to work fine but there are execptions like BadImageFormat and AmbiguousMatch which leave me doubtful. The test project is here
