I encountered a MSBuild warning when updating a few of my FileType plugins for Paint.NET 4.3.

  

Warning    MSB3277    Found conflicts between different versions of "WindowsBase" that could not be resolved.
There was a conflict between "WindowsBase, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" and "WindowsBase, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35".

Has anyone else had this issue?

I saw this a few times but I don't remember what fixed it. Could just be like @AndrewDavid said ... exit VS, delete bin and obj folders, reload and try again.

@null54 ILSpy shows me that you're using 4.2.16 libraries for references. This is not a good idea. It'll mostly work but things (methods and stuff) you're using may not be available anymore or their behaviour may be different for some reason.

 

I'd suggest referencing PDN 4.3's libraries to minimize the risk.

 

This is WebP plugin. Same for AvifFileType and DDSFileTypePlus.

For my plugins, I'm doing it like this in project file. This resolves version conflicts and also helps me to see which things are available (or not) in each version of PDN. Unfortunately I couldn't find an official way to acquire older versions of PDN libraries for backward compatible development purposes. I took a backup before installing 4.3.

I received the warning after changing those projects to use the PDN 4.3 libraries.

Here's a suggested solution to this issue for VS2022. I just rebuilt 3 plugins and found a way to resolve the warning.

Add the WindowsBase.dll to your project from the paint.net directory

Change the platform target to x64. (WindowsBase does not like the reference to the ARM64 CPU)

I was able to build 2 plugins without seeing the error at all.

The experts might not like the solution, but it does work. :)

Yeah. Don't see the architecture unless you absolutely need to. You'll know if you do, and in this case you don't.


And don't add WindowsBase.dll as a reference from the paint.net directory. That's 100% wrong.

 

The solution is to have the right lines (highlighted below) in your csproj at the top, and remove any "references" to WindowsBase, PresentationCore, PresentationFramework, System.Windows.Forms. Those assembly references are handled automatically by the build system now.

what happens when you try to run your plugin on a x86 or an ARM64 system...

Any plugins I build (Except 1) are for personal use. They are all exported from Codelab to VS.

 

Changing those lines in csproj file did not resolve the issue. 

 

@Rick Brewster Here's a detailed list of events when trying your suggestion. Each change resulted in another error.

Spoiler

1. Error adding "UseWpf" I did keep the other 2 lines.

Severity    Code    Description    Project    File    Line    Suppression State
Error    MSB4030    " true " is an invalid value for the "UseWpf" parameter of the "GenerateSupportedTargetFrameworkAlias" task.

2. Error when CPU is changed to Any
Severity    Code    Description    Project    File    Line    Suppression State
Warning    MSB3270    There was a mismatch between the processor architecture of the project being built "MSIL" and the processor architecture of the reference "WindowsBase", "AMD64". This mismatch may cause runtime failures. Please consider changing the targeted processor architecture of your project through the Configuration Manager so as to align the processor architectures between your project and references, or take a dependency on references with a processor architecture that matches the targeted processor architecture of your project.    xy2xyzEffect    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Preview\MSBuild\Current\Bin\amd64\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets    2302  

 

After removing WindowsBase from references this CPU error was removed

4. Adding WindowsBase to references clears the error but creates this conflict

Severity    Code    Description    Project    File    Line    Suppression State
Warning    MSB3270    There was a mismatch between the processor architecture of the project being built "MSIL" and the processor architecture of the reference "WindowsBase", "AMD64". This mismatch may cause runtime failures. Please consider changing the targeted processor architecture of your project through the Configuration Manager so as to align the processor architectures between your project and references, or take a dependency on references with a processor architecture that matches the targeted processor architecture of your project.    xy2xyzEffect    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Preview\MSBuild\Current\Bin\amd64\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets    2302    

 

5. Changing platform target to x64 clears this error.

 

I know from previous builds that the error is just a warning and has no effect on the operation of the plugin. I just prefer not to see any warnings or messages when I work in VS. I did notice that your csproj is for an executable and not an assembly. That may be why UseWPF caused an error. The csproj is generated by codelab as well.

Hence my solution for plugins that are not distributed (for @toe_head2001's ease of mind) :)

 

Only through a clear understanding of the problem can we gain a permanent solution.

@Rick Brewster I think the issue is within the WindowsBase file itself.

 

Spoiler

Taken from C:\Program Files\dotnet\packs\Microsoft.NETCore.App.Ref\6.0.3\ref\net6.0WindowsBase.dll
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("4.0.0.0")]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("6.0.322.12309")]

 

The csproj file is generated by codelab.

 

 

The codelab code comes from

You have space characters.

 

It needs to be exactly like this (case-insensitive): 

<UseWpf>true<UseWpf>

 

Not like this: 

<UseWpf> true <UseWpf>

OK that worked. No WindowsBase error - 
Removed reference to WindowsBase and changed to AnyCPU
Build succeeded without warning

PS @otuncelli
You are missing the hash tag	
<UseWpf>true</UseWpf>

Now to add those 3 2 lines when codelab generates the VS solution  :)

 

<UseWindowsForms>true</UseWindowsForms>

<UseWpf>true</UseWpf>

<ImportWindowsDesktopTargets>true</ImportWindowsDesktopTargets>

 

Who gets the solution tag?

You shouldn't need to add ImportWindowsDesktopTargets. It's enabled by default if you add UseWPF. You can confirm this by looking at the .targets file:

I too am running into this - with Net6 and VS2022

 

I have not found a good solution at all - the best bet seems to be to ignore the warning (which is never a good idea)

 

Enabling WPF/WinForms (which I don't need) seems less than ideal.

 

I was speculating a binding redirect would help, but the csproj does not seem to like it. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43365736/assembly-binding-redirect-how-and-why 

<dependentAssembly>
    <assemblyIdentity name="WindowsBase" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" culture="neutral" />  
    <bindingRedirect oldVersion="4.0.0.0" newVersion="6.0.2.0" />  
</dependentAssembly>


...or even trying it automatically - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/configure-apps/how-to-enable-and-disable-automatic-binding-redirection

That's the solution. That's literally all you need to do.

 

Binding redirects are a mess. And, I don't think they even work beyond .NET Framework -- they're a solution for a problem that no longer exists.
