Hi Just wanted to hear if anybody else have tried to use SlimDX in a .Net 4 app in Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2? We used Beta 1 before where everything worked fine, but after we updated to Beta 2 we get an XamlParseException when we try to initialize the Direct3D image. In the details I get Mixed mode assembly is built against version 'v2.0.50727' of the runtime and cannot be loaded in the 4.0 runtime without additional configuration information. Havent been able to get around it yet. Any ideas would be much welcome. Thanks

I saw the same issue myself. I suppose we need to rebuild SlimDX using VS 2010 in order for it to be usable from .NET 4.0 apps. I'm not going to worry about any of it until VS 2010 comes out of beta.

Thanks for the reply

I imagine you could use it by supplying that "additional information" it wants -- I'm guessing there are some properties you'd need to set in your manifest or app.config. I'm not aware of what those might be yet, though.

Maybe the supportedRuntime element can be used. I don't know though, haven't used .NET 4 yet.

I always thought that .Net 4.0 was never meant to be backwards compatible at all. Am i wrong on this?

I've been using SlimDX in beta 2 for a few days now. VizOne is right about supportedRuntime. Specifically, you can add a .config file for your app as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><configuration>  <startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">    <supportedRuntime version="v4.0"/>  </startup></configuration>

After dropping this in it started working as normal.

Thanks

Have just tried it, but doesnt seem to work for me..

I have a solution with several assemblies. One is the App itself and another is a usercontrol using SlimDX.
Have tried adding a .config file in both but with no luck.

Will try some more today

Good to know. Thanks alot! Yet still, having a native .Net 4.0 version of SlimDX some time after VS2010 got released seems preferable to me. Or does .Net2 and .Net4 interop come without any mentionable cost?

I've added useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true" spell by JPatrick to app.config
It works! Really!
Thank you!
