At SWFox you showed a trick to convert C# examples to X#. I should have written it down--what was it?

Thanks,

Eric

Eric,

- Download the X# language addin for ILSpy from this website
- Compile the C# code
- Open the assembly in ILSpy
- Set the language to X#

Robert

Ah, that's it thanks! I'll give it a try...

Link for ILSpy plugin DLL download page:

Robert,

I downloaded the ILSpy project and compiled its solution, then copied the ILSpy.XSharpLanguage.Plugin.dll to ILSpy.exe directory.

When I run the ILSpy.exe, I am getting an error that it cannot find: ICSharpCode.AvalonEdit.
I have no issues using C# language options.

Using ILSpy.XSharpLanguage.Plugin.dll version 1.3.65534

Any ideas how to resolve the issue?

You need the correct version of the Language Plugin with each ILSpy version.

Hi Jamal,

I´m using the 5.0 ilspy binaries dated 19 Sep, the dll from the ILSpy5.XSharpLanguage.zip and all works as expected.

github.com/icsharpcode/ILSpy/releases/do...aries_5.0.0.5124.zip

Hi Jamal,

strangely the V5.0 is build against AvalonEdit 6.0.253...So, this is the one I use too
and V5.0.2 is using AvalonEdit 6.0.0... That's why the Plugin is crashing with this version.

HTH,
Fabrice

Hi Guys,

The ILSpy version mentioned by Karl-Heinz worked fine.

Thanks!
Jamal

Hi Fabrice,

Initially I added ILSpy as an extension from within VS 2019 and after some digging I found the cryptic folder name which VS added the extension in. Then I was looking for how to add the X# plugin from ILSpy, and was found. Then used the easier method of downloading the ILSpy master file and created the EXE, then Karl's post helped resolve the issue.

To make the long story short, I suggest you create within the X# zip file, a readme file on the proper procedure to make the X# plugin available in ILSpy and a link to the correct versions to use.

Jamal,
the article I had published give the necessary explanation :
www.xsharp.eu/articles/il-spy-4-5-plugin

But you are right, I will put some information within the Zip file

Thx,
Fab

Hi Fabrice,
currently IlSpy not installed here, but plans to do so. Read your article, went to IlSpy side.
There are 2 bugfix releases for IlSpy5, put Oct/Nov 2019, each after the version you marked for IlSpy5.
So I guess the xSharp plugin from ^190924 was tested againt IlSpy from^190919, whereas the changesfixes in 5.0.1 and 5.0.2 might make IlSpy safer/less crash prone. Quick question: based on your expirience would you reccommend installing the version ^190919 or the latest bugfix for IlSpy5 for use with plugin for 5?

Hi Thomas,
thanks for your message.
After a quick check, it seems that I will need some rebuild as the current version doesn't work with ILSpy 5.02.

I will correct and come back asap.

Fab

Hi Thomas,
a new DLL version is underway in order to support ILSpy 5.02....Stay tuned

Hi Fab,
only 3 things to say:
1) was nosy, tested new version in DL with 5.0.2.5153
2) works without problem in the 15+ of test spelunking
3) Thx a lot for the effort!

best regards
