PDFsharp & MigraDoc Foundation

I started having problems with my line graphs displaying correctly on a Windows form (using PDFSharp.Charting) but not in a PDF file. The PDF would display the graph, but without and text. It was working before I modified the code that allows adjusting of the parameters of the graph. I decided to do is upgrade to your latest version, 1.50 beta 3. Now it will not compile. Some of the errors I get are:

The type or namespace 'Forms' does not exist in the namespace 'PDFSharp' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

The name 'Zoom' does not exist in the current context

Could you please help me out with getting it to compile?

Hi!
Use the correct version.

Maybe you need this one:
https://www.nuget.org/packages/PDFsharp ... 000-beta3b

Hi Thomas,

I went to the web page you supplied, but I can't find a way to download the file. I never used NuGet before. Can you help me?

George

I forgot to ask. How do I find out what version of PDFSharp that I am currently using?

Look at the filename: PDFsharp.dll or PDFsharp-wpf.dll or so.
Open the properties dialogue and you will find a file version.

The NuGet Package Manager is an extension for Visual Studio. Do you use Visual Studio?

Yes, I am using Visual Studio 2015. After I do this if I have problems can I back out to my last version?

The version I am using is 1.32.2608.0. Is there anything not supported in the new version that is supported in mine?

The new PdfSharp-GDU.dll is the successor of the old PdfSharp.dll.
You didn't show your filenames ...

Maybe you just got the wrong NuGet package.
For WinForms you need the GDI package.

Maybe a reference to some .NET assemblies is missing.

In cases like that I open the Output window in Visual Studio and search for the first occurrence of ": error".
Thus I avoid investigating follow-up errors.

PDFSharp.dll 1.32.2608.0
PDFSharp.Charting.dll 1.32.2608.0
MigraDoc.Rendering.dll 1.32.3885.0
MigraDoc.DocumentObjectModel.dll 1.32.3885.0

I've been using this version since last year with no errors during my compile.

When I got this package it wasn't from NuGet. I got it from http://pdfsharp.codeplex.com/releases .
I'm afraid that using NuGet it will update my PDFSharp and then it will not work and I will not be able to go back to my original version.
The last time I updated, all I had to do was delete the PDF and MIgraDoc projects from my Solution and then add the new projects in. Fix a few references and compile.

For maximum compatibility you have to add references to the projects that have "-GDI" in the name of the *.csproj files.

There was a change in the naming convention and the new version without suffix is just a subset of the old version without suffix.
