Weird issue with FileType plugin.

[zarathoustra]

I got this code:

        protected override Document OnLoad(Stream subFile)
       {
           try
           {
               MpegParser mpegParser = new MpegParser(subFile);

               return Document.FromImage(new Bitmap(500, 500));
           }
           catch (Exception e)
           {
               MessageBox.Show(e.ToString(), "SubFileType OnLoad exception");
               return null;
           }
       }

I set 3 break points on curly braces for opening the methods's body, try, and catch.

When I comment the MpegParser line, it does what expected (a 500x500 empty picture and breaks).

When I don't comment that line, PDN says "The file could not be found" and it doesn't even break on my breakpoints.

I thought maybe MpegParser would throw an exception, so i catched all exceptions, but nothing get catched.

So I'm a bit confused.

Any idea ?

Have you tried saving the stream to a temp file and letting MpegParser read it?

[zarathoustra]

No.

Did that already fixed such a problem for you?

I'd like to understand what's going on.

I mean, even if mpegparser fails on this stream, it should throw an exception.

But there's nothing.

Is MpegParser in a third-party library? If so, are you copying it to the FileTypes folder along with your plugin?

[zarathoustra]

yes, it's another class library.

no, i forgot to copy the dll. :oops:

Actually just this would create the problem.

MpegParser mpegParser = null;

Edit: Problem fixed. Thanks.

[zarathoustra]

Same problem again

Except now i can't see what dll is missing.

[zarathoustra]

Solved!

I had some dlls with platform target set to x86 a while ago, and now i'm on x64.

So the dlls wouldn't load.
