weird problem!?!?

[sylcote]

Hi everyone, i have a very weird problem.

I have coded an add-in for SW. it work just fine on some computer and not on some others.
Here is the piece of where is it bugging

bool PieceCommerciale = false;
MessageBox.Show("A");
PieceCommerciale = FonctionPCaaa(swModel);
MessageBox.Show("C");

private bool FonctionPCaaa(ModelDoc2 swModel)
{
MessageBox.Show("B");

CustomPropertyManager cpm;
cpm = swModel.Extension.get_CustomPropertyManager("");
string theval, theval2;
string[] getnames;
getnames = (string[])cpm.GetNames();
if (getnames == null || !(getnames.Contains("IsCommercial"))) //si aucun prop ou si pas prop IsCommercial
{
DialogResult dr = MessageBox.Show("Est-ce un pièce commercial?", "Pièce commercial?", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question, MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button2);
if (dr == DialogResult.Yes)
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
else //prop iscommercial présente
{
cpm.Get2("IsCommercial", out theval, out theval2);
if (theval2.ToUpper() == "TRUE") // piece commercial
{
return true;
}
else //piece fab
{
return false;
}
}

}

I have added the messagebox to pinpoint the problem.
On some computer i have messagebox A, B and then C popin up
On some other computer i only have messagebox A and nothing else. the program stop there!?!?!? I do not understand!?!?

any idea?

Thanks!
Sylvain

With only seeing a snippet of information I cannot say exactly what it is, but it is likely something that is unrelated to the lines of code, and the first thing that springs to mind is file references. Mainly SolidWorks references (with passing in a model as a parameter, the .Net engine will attempt to load the references and could crash at that point.

Also, is this on another thread or is it an STA app (single threaded)?

here is the complete code. The problem seem to come from customPropertyManager. Do the solidworks dll need to be register in the assembly folder if they are in the executable folder? As for your thread question, I have no idea... I'm a mechanical engineer and I learn C# and solidworks API with your books.

Thanks for your help!!

I found the issue, .net 3.5 was not installed the computer where the addin was not crashing.

Thanks for your help!
