After migrating to PB 2022 from 2021, we are unable to create an instance of a .net class when running DotNetAssembly.CreateInstance() method. It's failing with error: "Bad runtime function reference" but all referenced dlls look good. This is failing with or without parameters passed in. 

After reverting back to 2021, all is functioning normally again. 

Wondering if anyone is having similar issues with this in 2022?

Thanks,

Hi Ben,

 

Thanks for reporting the problem! Please follow the four methods below to see if the problem can be solved. If the problem persists, please submit a ticket to the Support system and upload a small case there.

  1. Full build your application again.
  2. Please make sure that the called DLL is not occupied by other processes. When PB IDE is not closed, after it’s loaded once, it will also be occupied.
  3. Try running it using x86 and x64 separately in IDE and see if it works.
  4. If the problem happens when you run the EXE on the client, I suggest you install PB Runtime on the client using PowerBuilder Installer then try again. For details please refer to:

Best Regards,

Peter

I appreciate the response. After troubleshooting this with the PB installer, it was determined that we had failed up update the runtime pathway specified in the runtime path xml file. After updating this to the correct version, we have no more issues. 

Again, thank you for your help,

Ben

Hi Ben;

  This could be related to PB 2022 using a much newer version of the C++ compiler and SnapDevelop using the new C# .NET 6.0 CORE compiler.

Please open a Support Ticket as per Francisco's suggestion in order for our Engineering team to delve deeper into this issue.

Many thanks in advance!

Regards ... Chris

It would be great if .NET Core 6x was a Project option in SnapDevelop. Currently SD only supports up to Core 3.1.

Hi.

It's in SnapDevelop 2022. Target framework .NET 6.0... Maybe .net core isn't installed in your computer? Or are you using an older version of SnapDevelop?

Andreas.
