SQLinForm dll not compatible with the current version o N++

Ekopalypse

that is strange, indeed. How can npp access non-existent function pointers??
Let me check this again.

@Guido-Thelen If I download the version available from plugin admin I do see the functions exported.

File Type: DLL

  Section contains the following exports for \SQLinFormNpp64.dll

@Guido-Thelen

the version built with VS2015 does not have the isUniCode function exported, but it works

Just in case: have not you forgot about the “/exports” parameter of dumpbin?

Guido Thelen

@zanud exactly. thanks a lot.

@Ekopalypse today I got it working :-) Sleeping was of great help.
The issue was that in the refactored version I am working with 2 C# projects. One project for the GUI and one project for the formatter/parser.
I refer from the GUI project to the parser project. Because I am only referring to it, the parser dll is not included into the GUI output and Notepad++ issues an error message. The reason is probably that the parser dll cannot be found.
But when I copy the source files from the parser project into the GUI project it is better. The GUI dll is of course much bigger and, because it contains now also the parser and Notepad++ is happy.
Probably this is an stupid error, but I am not a C# develpper and I am not familiar with Visual Studio. I developped the original parser in Java and transpose the code with a utility into C#.
Many Thanks to you :-)

Yeah, has been the solution to many of my problems as well :-D
I’m not a C# developer either, only know VisualBasic.Net a bit.
But this reminds me of a problem I had playing with the c# plugin interface.
If I remember correctly, the problem was that loading the
.Net class didn’t happen at the time npp loaded the plugin.
You had to hack the import chain to make it work.
Not sure if this is still relevant with a current .Net version either.
If I find the code project article (I suspect it was there), I’ll let you know.

@Ekopalypse thanks for your answer.
Below is a screenshot of the message.

i think you are at windows 10

@rinku-singh ,

What does a PR for NppGTags plugin have to do with the issue at hand? A random link, and the statement “i think you are at windows 10”, doesn’t help anyone understand what you are trying to get across.

If you think the NppGTags solution will help @Guido-Thelen solve his problem, you will have to explain how and why you think that.

edit: Are you suggesting, like in the issue behind that PR, that @Guido-Thelen should install/update his Visual C++ redistributable 2015-2019 ? /edit
