Missing /AdWindows;component/themes/badge.xaml

[Anonymous]

I've been having a few different problems while trying to load a plugin into Revit. The plugin worked a few weeks ago, then I added a few things and it stopped working due to multiple problems. I'm not sure if any of them are related to the others, so I'll give you a rundown of what I've changed.

First I added a reference to EntityFramework. When loading the plugin in revit, it failed to find the referenced dll. I got past that by adding an assembly resolver that loaded the dll manually. That got me past a few different dll problems. Each of these are handled by a specific case.

This is how I resolved them:

if (args.Name.Contains("Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore"))
{
	string assemblyFile = Path.Combine(Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location), "Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.dll");
	if (File.Exists(assemblyFile))
	{
		return Assembly.LoadFrom(assemblyFile);
	}
}
//Checked for all other dlls with known issues
return null;

Now that I can get the plugin to load into revit when I start it up, I hit another problem when I try to open a new project. As soon as I try to load one of the given templates (or click on the add-ins tab), I get the following exception.

System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException
  HResult=0x80131501
  Message=The invocation of the constructor on type 'Autodesk.Internal.Windows.Badge' that matches the specified binding constraints threw an exception.

Inner Exception 1:
Exception: The component 'Autodesk.Internal.Windows.Badge' does not have a resource identified by the URI '/AdWindows;component/themes/badge.xaml'.

Any ideas for why I'm getting this exception or how to fix it?

No idea whatsoever why you see these messages. I never heard of them.

Yes, I do have an idea to fix it, and I use it myself all the time.

Whenever anyone shares an add-in with me, I do not try to adapt it to run on my system.

Instead, I use the Visual Studio Revit add-in wizard to create myself a new add-in skeleton, all automatically set up and ready to run:

Then I just copy the new code into its external command and external application modules and I'm set with no hassles.

Cheers,
