Null value on currentAssembly.GetManifestResourceStream()

[Raul]

Hello,

 

yesterday I installed  the latest Visual Studio 2019 update and now I'm getting in the line

var dllStream = currentAssembly.GetManifestResourceStream(fullDllName);

a value of null (called in CurrentDomain_AssemblyResolve()). It was working good all the time.

 

I'm using the code posted here:

        static TelerikThemeUtilities() {
            AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AssemblyResolve += CurrentDomain_AssemblyResolve;
        }

        }

        public static bool GetDesignTime(DependencyObject obj) {
            return (bool)obj.GetValue(DesignTimeProperty);
        }

        public static void SetDesignTime(DependencyObject obj, bool value) {
            obj.SetValue(DesignTimeProperty, value);
        }

        public static readonly DependencyProperty DesignTimeProperty = DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached(
            "DesignTime",
            typeof(bool),
            typeof(TelerikThemeUtilities),
            new PropertyMetadata(false, DesignTimeChanged));

        private static void DesignTimeChanged(DependencyObject target, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs args) {
            if (((bool)args.NewValue) && System.ComponentModel.DesignerProperties.GetIsInDesignMode(target)) {
                FrameworkElement element = target as FrameworkElement;
                LoadTelerikTheme(element.Resources, "Crystal");
            }
        }

            Application.Current.Resources.Clear();
            LoadTelerikTheme(Application.Current.Resources, themeName);
        }

        private static void LoadTelerikTheme(ResourceDictionary resources, string themeName) {
            resources.MergedDictionaries.Add(new ResourceDictionary() {
                Source = new Uri("/Telerik.Windows.Themes." + themeName + ";component/Themes/Telerik.Windows.Controls.xaml", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute)
            });
            resources.MergedDictionaries.Add(new ResourceDictionary() {

            });
            resources.MergedDictionaries.Add(new ResourceDictionary() {

        }

            var dllName = args.Name.Substring(0, args.Name.IndexOf(',')) + ".dll";
            if (dllName.Contains("Telerik")) {
                var currentAssembly = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
                var fullDllName = currentAssembly.GetName().Name + ".lib." + dllName;
                var dllStream = currentAssembly.GetManifestResourceStream(fullDllName);
                var streamBytes = new byte[dllStream.Length];
                dllStream.Read(streamBytes, 0, streamBytes.Length);
                var requestedAssembly = System.Reflection.Assembly.Load(streamBytes);

                return requestedAssembly;
            }
            else {
                return null;
            }
        }
    }
}

Any ideas?

This seems only to happen when starting in Debug-Mode from Visual Studio
