Assembly resolving logic in Out-Of-Process WinForms Designer does not work for *.Resources.dll Assemblies

Open SteffenSchwaiger opened this issue 10 months ago • 8 comments

Environment

17.10.0 Preview 2.0

.NET version

.NET 8

Did this work in a previous version of Visual Studio and/or previous .NET release?

No response

Issue description

The assembly resolution logic in the Out-Of-Process WinForms Designer (DesignToolsServer) does not work when also using satellite assemblies with the Company.Resources.resources.dll naming scheme when there is also a Company.Resources.dll assembly.

In this case, the designer attempts to resolve types from the latter assembly even though the type is defined in the former.

Steps to reproduce

  • Open the provided solution
  • Drag&Drop UserControl1.cs from the Toolbox to the form

=> Exception

When deleting the .vs directory before restarting Visual Studio it seems to work for some time before the same problem occurs.

@Olina-Zhang can you get this copied into the designer repo?

merriemcgaw avatar Apr 16 '24 18:04 merriemcgaw

@SteffenSchwaiger I used the solution you provided by dragging and dropping UserControl1.cs from the Toolbox to the form with no exceptions. So want to confirm with you if I got the right point for your problem.

@MandiMan I just downloaded the sample repo again and was able to reproduce the problem with preview 2.0 and 3.0 BUT the fresh preview 4.0 does not seem to have the problem anymore. I will see if the problem reoccurs after some time, and if not, I will close this issue.

SteffenSchwaiger avatar Apr 17 '24 06:04 SteffenSchwaiger

Unfortunately, I am still able to reproduce the problem and I am 100% sure that the shadow cache implementation is the problem. In my case, only the following assemblies are present:

You may already see the problem. Company.UserInterface.resources.dll is missing (notice the small 'r') because it was overwritten (?) by Company.UserInterface.Resources.dll. Which of the two assemblies "wins" does not seem to be deterministic. Also, the filename case may be incorrect, making it even more difficult to understand what's happening. See the following ILSpy output for what appears to be a main assembly based on the filename (big 'R'), but actually contains localization data and is a satellite assembly.

Extended repro steps:

  • Open the provided sample solution
  • Open Form1
  • Drag&Drop UserControl1

This might have already triggered the exception, if not continue:

  • Remove the UserControl1 from the form
  • Switch the form to Language: German
  • Drag&Drop UserControl1

An exception should have occurred by now at the latest.

Hacky workaround: NTFS supports case-sensitive filenames on Windows 10 if you explicitly enable it for certain directories. If I do this for the WinFormsDesigner directory (e.g. C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\17.0_26d18316\WinFormsDesigner) everything seems to work as expected.

C:\Windows\system32>fsutil.exe file setCaseSensitiveInfo C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\17.0_26d18316\WinFormsDesigner enable

The shadow cache directory in this case will contain the missing file. image

@SteffenSchwaiger Unfortunately I still can't reproduce your problem on VS 17.10.0 Preview 3.0 and 17.10.0 Preview 4.0. 17.10.0 Preview 3.0: 17 10P3 17.10.0 Preview 4.0: 17 10P4

MandiMan avatar Apr 22 '24 03:04 MandiMan

@MandiMan I have a new way how to reproduce it hopefully.

  • download and open the original repro solution
  • switch the form language to German
  • change Enabled to False
  • save and close the Form1 designer tab
  • open the designer for Form1 again (German is still active)
  • reset the language to (Default) and save
  • Rebuild
  • close the Form1 designer tab and reopen it
  • switch the form language to German
  • reset Enabled to its original state (True)
  • reset the language to English and save
  • Drag & Drop UserControl1 => Exception
