Upgrade from NetOffice to NetOfficeFw
mc0re opened this issue · comments
When upgrading, I faced the following issue:
PowerPointReference.vb(424,20): error BC30652: Reference required to assembly 'OfficeApi, Version=1.9.4.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=297f57b43ae7c1de' containing the type 'MsoTriState'. Add one to your project.
PowerPointReference.vb(424,34): error BC30451: 'MsoTriState' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level.
It's an old .NET Framework project. All references to NetOffice were replaced with NetOfficeFw, so now the project includes the following:
<Reference Include="NetOffice, Version=1.9.4.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=297f57b43ae7c1de, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
<HintPath>..\packages\NetOfficeFw.Core.1.9.4\lib\net462\NetOffice.dll</HintPath>
<EmbedInteropTypes>False</EmbedInteropTypes>
</Reference>
<Reference Include="PowerPointApi, Version=1.9.4.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=297f57b43ae7c1de, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
<HintPath>..\packages\NetOfficeFw.PowerPoint.1.9.4\lib\net462\PowerPointApi.dll</HintPath>
<EmbedInteropTypes>False</EmbedInteropTypes>
</Reference>
There is no package named OfficeApi. What am I missing?
Please post your whole project to troubleshoot the issue.
This one: https://github.com/mc0re/next-player (not yet upgraded on GitHub).
The project in question is PlayerActions.
Thanks @mc0re, this was very helpful.
I see the project is using two nuget packages from the old NetOffice which actually bundle four different libraries.
The NetOfficeFw has a different structure of nuget packages.
I would suggest to use NuGet to first remove the NetOffice.PowerPoint and the NetOffice.Core packages. After that add the newest NetOfficeFw.PowerPoint using NuGet to correctly setup the project.

I did, and the result is posted as OP.
Okay, I did it again, and this time it worked. Probably, some caching issue in VS. Sorry for bothering.
You are welcome @mc0re. Happy coding.
