XamlParseException in PresentationFramework.dll when calling FileHelperEngine constructor

c#, filehelpers, visual-studio-2013, wpf

Solution

The solution to my problem is same as the accepted answer at XAML Parse Exception - xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

I did CTRL-ALT-E then checked everything. Now the pop-up window shows the actual exception rather than xamlparseexception.

Problem

A first chance exception of type 'System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException' occurred in PresentationFramework.dll Additional information: 'The invocation of the constructor on type 'filehelpertest.MainWindow' that matches the specified binding constraints threw an exception.' Line number '3' and line position '9'. Hi all, I am new to FileHelpers. I made a minimal WPF project in VS Express 2013 in order to isolate this problem. The code is copied from their "Quick Start for Delimited files" section in the FileHelpers docs. I have tried referencing the 3 different versions of FileHelpers.dll (2.0, 1.1, Mono1.2), and I have tried rebooting. But there is no effect that I can see. There must be something really simple I'm missing right? Or does FileHelpers not work for newer versions of .NET? Thanks! ``` using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.Windows; using System.Windows.Controls; using FileHelpers; namespace filehelpertest { /// <summary> /// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml /// </summary> public partial class MainWindow : Window { public MainWindow() { InitializeComponent(); FileHelperEngine engine = new FileHelperEngine(typeof(Customer)); // To Read Use: Customer[] res = engine.ReadFile("f1.txt") as Customer[]; // To Write Use: engine.WriteFile("f2.txt", res); } [DelimitedRecord(",")] public class Customer { public int CustId; public string Name; } } } ```
