Hi,
  I am trying to use this static method of Pdf

public static object CreateObjFromXml(
   string xmlFile,
   string xslFile
);

The file content looks like:
<Section>
    <Text>
        <Segment>hello</Segment>
    </Text>
</Section>

The C# code is:

Section LoNewSection = (Section) Pdf.CreateObjFromXml ("Section.xml", null);

I get a NullReferenceException. Any idea what could be wrong?
If I remove the <Segment> tag, then it seems to be working fine. Am i missing something?

On the other hand, If I wrap the same file above inside the <Pdf> tag and call the BindXML method, it works fine.

Thanks in advance,
Venkat.

Hi Hans,
  Thanks for the fix. It seems to be working fine. But a small different issue: if there's a XML declaration at the top of the file like  this,

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

it fails. Whereas BindXML handles this fine.

Regards,
Venkat.

Hi Venkat,

I am working on it now. I will give you a solution ASAP.

Best regards.

Hi,
   Can you give me a version compiled in .Net 2.0 for this fix? I am facing problems in customising an installation script with 1.1 assemblies. See http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2381267&SiteID=1

Hi,

The version compiled in .net 2.0 is attached. Please try it.

Best regards.

Hi,
  Thanks for the 2.0 version. Unfortunately that also did not work. Let me try to explain what am I doing. To use Aspose.PDF in our environment (in all test & production systems), I am trying to create a customized installer (using MSI file) that installs only the Aspose.Pdf.dll (in GAC) and the license file and also registers the assembly for use from COM. I created a Visual Studio 2005 Setup & Deployment project and added the requird files. See attachment: AsposeSetup.zip

   Initially, the installer is ok - it installs the files and registers fine. But the problem is during uninstallation. When I uninstall using the SAME setup file, there are no error messages but the Aspose.Pdf.dll file is still present in GAC (but removed from the Application folder). If i manually remove the dll using gacutil.exe, then it works fine.

  We have already done such a customized setup project for Aspose.Words and the uninstallation goes on fine there. The difference that I could observe  is that while ALL the references of Aspose.Words is managed dll, Aspose.Pdf.dll has references to some Win32 dlls, probably for interops. Is that the reason that it could not be automatically deleted from GAC?   Or is this a bug in Microsoft Windows installer ?

Regards,
Venkat

Hi,

I don't think it has anything to do with Aspose.Pdf. It is a problem from Microsoft. Please check the last reply at this URL:
