Guidance on net40 build about xbimgeometry

[LloydPickering]

Try adding the development nuget feed to your package sources:

https://www.myget.org/F/xbim-develop/api/v2

Then make sure you are checking for Pre Release packages.

After that, try to add in the nuget references you need from that feed (so Xbim.Geometry)

That's great, many thanks. That has got me a lot further along.

Part of my aim was to get it running on windows 2003 (which is limited to .NET 4), but a secondary issue has come up. When using XbimModel.CreateFrom I get a Microsoft.Isam.Esent.Interop.EsentTaggedNotNULLException, "No non-NULL tagged columns". This was using the Lakeside_Restaurant.ifc sample.

Using the same IFC file does not give the error on windows 8 and 10 - I have not tried other platforms.

I can fully appreciate that windows 2003 may not be a supported platform, and I'm quite happy to not target that platform if necessary.

Is windows 2003 supported?

Happy to raise this as a separate issue if you prefer.

Hi,
The issue you mention comes from Esent; unfortunately it's APIs have different implementations on various OSs.
There should be a solution to this soon enough, as we have (in the develop branch) an infrastructure to deal with multiple repository engines.
Esent and Memory are the only two in development at the moment, but more should come and you could implement your own... it's only a few tables.
I'll close this issue as Net40 should be closed, open a new one for the Esent problem if you think it's useful.
Best,
Claudio
