MDbg Sample temporarily broken in post-beta 2 builds.

  • Article

Customers have alerted us that the MDBg sample is broken on post-beta 2 builds. Rick Byers has diagnosed the problem as an issue in the mdbg build and we're working to update it. I guess there was a VS change that exposed this problem. Rick may blog a more detailed explanation, but I just wanted to get a quick post out to let people know we're aware of this and it's being addressed.

It fails with an error like this:

Error 1 The type or namespace name 'NativeApi' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft.Samples.Debugging.CorDebug' (are you missing an assembly reference?) C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Whidbey Stuff\mdbg\mdbg\corapi\AppDomainEnumerator.cs 8 44 corapi

In the meantime, Rick's suggested fix is:

To fix this, you need to add “call ” to the beginning of the post-build event for corapi2.  I.e., the post-build event should be:

call "$(DevEnvDir)\..\tools\vsvars32.bat" > NUL && cd "$(ProjectDir)" && ilasm /KEY=../mdbg.snk /DLL /DEBUG /OUT="$(TargetDir)\corapi2.dll" context.il cordblib.il corpublib.il cormetalib.il assemblyDef.il> NUL

[update]: Rick has posted in more detail with a fix here.
I'll post again when we update the sample with the fix.

    Thanks, that fixes most everything. Now instead of hundreds of errors, I have one:

    "C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDE..toolsvsvars32.bat" > NUL && cd "C:Install Archivesmdbgmdbg" && ResGen mdbgCommands.txt
    'ResGen' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file.
    C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727Microsoft.Common.targets(814,9): error MSB3073: The command ""C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDE..toolsvsvars32.bat" > NUL && cd "C:Install Archivesmdbgmdbg" && ResGen mdbgCommands.txt" exited with code 1.

    This can be resolved by putting in the fully qualified path to resgen in the post-build event for mdbg.csproj

    Mike,

    Will MDbg sample build with Visual C# 2005 Express Edition?

    I could not get it to build ( after adding the suggested fix).

    Wondering if it is not possible to build it in Visual C# 2005 Express Edition?

    btw, you have an awesome blog here!

    Thanks,
    Prem

    Prem - I'd don't know what's in the express edition, but I thought it was enough to build MDbg.
    What's the error you're getting?

    I am wondering if I have correct beta version of VC# 2005 EE?
    ---------------------
    Visual C# 2005 Express Edition Verison 8.0.50215.44 (beta2.050215-4400)

    .NET Framework Version 2.0.50215
    ---------------------

    I could not locate any .bat file under C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8 and sub-dirs. (missing vsvars32.bat. Tools dir in VS.NET 2003 has many files and dirs, while Tools dir in VC# 2005 EE has only VDT dir!)

    292 errors are displayed.

    Bunch of errors about missing assembly refernce, dlls could not be found, and couple of errors (291,292) about prebuild and post build events exiting with code 9009

    Thanks,
    Prem

    I actually haven't used the Express Edition. I'm asking around to see what's up.
    I'm glad you got it working in the meantime.
