Thought I might drop this in for others to find. VS2022 gave me this error.....

There is an issue in VS 2022 v17.06.

https://github.com/dotnet/core/issues/7176

 

It links against .NET 6.0.2 System.Windows.Forms.dll instead of linking the reference (6.0.0) library.

 

This means if you're using Windows Forms or WPF and if you compile with VS 2022 v17.06, it will only be compatible with 4.3.8/.NET 6.0.2 and later (which is not released yet).

 

I did a mistake by updating my Visual Studio. Now, I can't work on any of my plugins because of this.

🤦‍♂️

Edit: I've applied the suggested workaround for now.

 

<ItemGroup>
<FrameworkReference
Update="Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App;Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App.WPF;Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App.WindowsForms"
TargetingPackVersion="6.0.0" />
</ItemGroup>

Well, thankfully 4.3.8 is pretty much wrapped up and just about ready for a public beta

I'm getting analyzer warnings like the following one. TargetFramework is net6.0-windows and VS is up-to-date. Any idea?

Warning    CS8032    An instance of analyzer System.Text.Json.SourceGeneration.JsonSourceGenerator cannot be created from C:\Program Files\dotnet\packs\Microsoft.NETCore.App.Ref\6.0.2\analyzers\dotnet\cs\System.Text.Json.SourceGeneration.dll : Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.CodeAnalysis, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.. 

 

That's a PropertyBasedEffect plugin.

I've just updated VS2022 to version 17.1.0 and can confirm that the issue has been resolved- so no need to use the workaround

It's .NET 6.0.2's issue rather than Visual Studio's. You won't get any errors because you've updated Paint.NET to 4.3.8 which is now released. 

 

Currently, I wouldn't release a plugin targeting PDN 4.3.8. I know there is "MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST VERSION" rule but it'd still be a wise choice to support older PDN versions as much as possible to at least decrease amount of error reports coming from users who are using older PDN for some reason.

 

Unfortunately, this won't be fixed until .NET 6.0.3 and the next PDN are released.
