New Post: BadImageFormatException on New Project Wizard

Hi Doug,

Well it wasn't on purpose, IIRC :)

Sandcastle has never supported native C++. So there's no reason for me to have supported it in DocProject either.

Hi,

DocProject provided a build for a native C++ project in Visual Studio 2005.

Hi,

Sandcastle doesn't support native C++ projects. It can only build documentation for managed C++ projects. That's why DocProject doesn't support native C++ projects either.

Dave,

It appears there is support for native C++ in Visual Studio.

I tested the adding of a DocProject in VS 2005 to a native C++ project and it worked with no problems.

Unfortunately, that does not solve my problem at all.

AH.

1) Yes I was aware of SDK issue. I ensured that the environmental variables were set correctly.

2) I am referencing a native C++ project.

Thanks for your help. Looks like I'll be sticking with doxygen.

Hi,

Are you aware of the VS SDK issue?

I have restarted Visual Studio and my PC numerous times.

The C# build error is still present with the May 2008 release of Sandcastle.

Hi,

Note that DocProject only supports Sandcastle May 2008. I suspect that the build error when referencing your C# project is because you've installed a newer version of Sandcastle that DocProject doesn't support.

Hi,

Did you restart Visual Studio? How about your computer? (The latter probably doesn't matter unless you didn't do the former before installing DocProject.)

Hi Dave,

First tried with the Sandcastle May 2008 Release, and just tried with the June 2008 Release. Both versions are producing the same error.

Hi,

Which version of Sandcastle?

I am receiving the following error when I try to add a DocProject solution to my C++ solution in Visual Studio:

---------------------------
New Project Wizard Error
---------------------------
An error occurred while running the New Project Wizard:



An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B)



Review the Application event log for more information.
---------------------------
OK  
---------------------------

The application event log displays this:

An error occurred while running the New Project Wizard:

System.BadImageFormatException: An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B)

   at DaveSexton.DocProject.Wizards.Foundation.WizardForm.finishButton_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)

The project is still created, and trying to build it results in the following warning:

Warning: There are no project references or sources for documentation.
Help build skipped.

I am choosing all of the default settings except for the "Sources". I "Select All" project references during the "Choose Sources" dialog.

I am using Visual Studio 2008, SP1 is installed, and Sandcastle is installed, Windows XP.

I was wondering if anybody here has experienced this, and if they have a known solution? I have been googling for some time now, and was only able to find this:

https://docproject.codeplex.com/discussions/240470

which really only suggests switching to doxygen, but I am trying to switch from doxygen to DocProject.

Update:

I would like to add that this does not occur if I am adding a DocProject to a C# solution. However, I get the following error when trying to build the DocProject project:

Hi,

You can also check out the Documentation tab for details about how to use DocProject.

Hi,

DocProject hasn't been updated in a long time. It works great for VS 2008 and VS 2005, but for more recent versions of Visual Studio take a look at the Sandcastle Help File Builder project.

To what extent can DocProject be used for developing user documentation and context specific help?

Yes, thanks. That's what I eventually figured out I had to do. Fortunately, they don't change the code samples very often.

Hi riggsdp

You can use something like this

<code>List<int> GetAvailableDays(ref InOut inOut, DateTime month, int loanID);</code>

SHFB supplies a project converter option in the standalone GUI to convert project files in other formats to SHFB project files. I just recently added a New Project from Other Format project template to the Visual Studio package but I haven't published an updated version that contains it yet. The project converter handles most of the work but there may be some tasks to handle afterwards. The project converter help topic covers the details and points out a few differences that you will encounter such as the API filter options. The help file should be able to supply the information you need on the various project options. If not, feel free to ask in the SHFB project discussion page.

I had moved over to SHFB for HtmlAgilityPack last year. IIRC it took me about an hour to get it all set up and running. I don't remember it being much of a pain
