Could not load file or assembly 'System.Windows.Forms' in Net6

[Milton Guevara]

Hi, I'm using Net 6, with a library-type project to generate a report that exports to PDF, but when executing I get the following error: "Could not load file or assembly 'System.Windows.Forms, Version=4.0. 0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'. The system cannot find the file specified."
The libraries that I have installed are from Stimulsoft and are ".NETCoreApp3.1", which are supposed to be compatible with Net6
please your support

Regards
Milton

Hello,

You should add a reference to the assembly, by using the following code:

Code: Select all

using System.Windows.Forms;

Also please check our samples:

Thank you.

Hello Max
It is not a "Windows Form" project, I am working on a "Library" type project where Forms is not referenced.

Hello,

You can remove that assembly from the (Referenced Assemblies) property of the report.

Thank you.

Hello

The error occurs in the line where the "StiReport" is instantiated, not in the load of the report.

StiReport report = new StiReport();

In which report should I remove the reference?

Hello,

Please send us a sample project that reproduces the issue for analysis.

Thank you.

It was fixed by replacing "Stimulsoft.Reports.Engine" with "Stimulsoft.Reports.Enginee.NetCore".
Thanks for the support.
