Migrating apps using Revit 2017 Beta

Anonymous — Thu, 25 Feb 2016 07:52:19 GMT

Hello,

I downloaded the beta because I got an e-mail from Autodesk urging me to start the 2017 migration process.

Compiling against the new dll's caused a lot of errors that made no sense, so I started a simple project from scratch in VS 2013, framework 4.5

Created a class library that refers RevitAPI.dll and RevitAPIUI.dll, added a few lines of code to see if it compiles. That's all

When I use the 2016 dll's this compiles fine, but when I use the 2017 dll's I get errors, see below

Does this relate to the .Net framework (target framework) I am using?

Do I need to migrate to 2015 for this?

I could not find any documents online yet for this, maybe I overlooked something

Oooooops! I am sorry. Well, at least I did not disclose any information regarding the Revit API functionality.

Thank you for pointing this out to me though

cheers

Dear Jeroen,

Thank you for taking notice!

No problem, I assume, and you are not the first to mention those taboo words here in the forum.

Still, it is important to be aware of the NDA.

Thank you!

Cheers,

Jeremy
