License question - invocation of the constructor

[AxelHaraldsson]

Hi

I have developed  a WPF application using Measurement studio 2013 Pro and just switched from framework 4.5 to 4.0. I followed the steps in following document:

http://forums.ni.com/ni/attachments/ni/232/14673/1/Using%20.NET%204.0%20Measurement%20Studio%20Assem...

In step 6 it states that I should update the license file manually. On the other hand this document states that I can use the integrated tools to update the file:

Anyway I tried to perform the update using the Integrated tools. I followed the steps in this document:

http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/372636F-01/mstudiowebhelp/html/licensingnetwithintegration/

The project compiles but I get the following runtime error:

A first chance exception of type 'System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException' occurred in PresentationFramework.dll

Additional information: 'The invocation of the constructor on type 'NationalInstruments.Controls.PowerButton' that matches the specified binding constraints threw an exception.' Line number '92' and line position '22'.

The licenses file is empty after I have selected Refresh project license file.

Can you please help me?

Kind regards

The integrated tools only target one version of the.NET framework for each version of Visual Studio. For VS2010, the target framework is .NET 4; for VS2012, the target framework is.NET 4.5. Since your project has no 4.5 NI assemblies, the integrated tools did not add any entries to the license file.

You will need to either open the project in VS2010 and run the integrated tools there, or update the license file manually.
