DLLExporter error

[bigparty]

Hi.

I'm trying to develop a plugin that needs some Windows API contracts, to use GlobalSystemMediaTransportControlsSessionManager and IAsyncOperation. When I make the references and use the methods I get the following error:

syntax error at token 'Windows.Foundation.FoundationContract' in: .assembly extern windowsruntime Windows.Foundation.FoundationContract PluginSystemVersio

EXEC : DllExporter error : Unable to assemble!

following the error I get the assembly:

Code: Select all

...
// Metadata version: v4.0.30319
.module extern Rainmeter.dll
.assembly extern mscorlib
{
  .publickeytoken = (B7 7A 5C 56 19 34 E0 89 )                         // .z\V.4..
  .ver 4:0:0:0
}
.assembly extern windowsruntime Windows.Foundation.FoundationContract
{
  .ver 3:0:0:0
}
.assembly extern windowsruntime Windows.Foundation.UniversalApiContract
{
  .ver 7:0:0:0
}
...

Has anyone run into the same problem?

I don't exactly remember but this error is raised due to target platform version and TFM, in your project file. Try messing around with those.

Hello

Did you find a solution to your problem ? I have the exact same situation trying to use the GlobalSystemMediaTransportControlsSessionManager interface.
It seems that DllExporter isn't compatible with modern .Net Framework versions, and I can't use .Net Framework 2.0 because of other dependencies...

Thanks in advance for your help

Update: I could successfully perform the assembly, after having modified DllExporter source to use latest .net framework and compiled it.
However, I don't know if the resulting Dll will be usable as a rainmeter plugin yet
I'll keep you posted.

If you still have issue, lmk and I can look to see if some of the modifications I made to a similar DllExport routine I use for x64 bit code and dynamic virtual channels would be helpful here. I ran into a lot of weird stuff over the last several years crossing .NET and then the bitness changes.

It worked?

Can you share this project?
