Issue description

When we run Analogy.exe with dotnet-sdk-9.0.100-preview.4.24223.3, it will pop up window with error：System.TypeInitializationException: 'The type initializer for 'FormIconHelper' threw an exception.'.

Application Name: Analogy.LogViewer OS: Windows 10 21H2 CPU: X64 .NET Build Number: dotnet-sdk-9.0.100-preview.4.24223.3 App Source Location, demo checking at https://devdiv.visualstudio.com/DevDiv/_workitems/edit/2045273

Github Link: https://github.com/Analogy-LogViewer/Analogy.LogViewer

Steps to reproduce

Minimal Repro steps (Demo attached WinFormDemo.zip) The machine has dotnet-sdk-9.0.100-preview.4.24223.3 installed.

Create a new .NET 8.0 Winforms App.
Add Project Reference: DevExpress.Utils.v23.2.dll and DevExpress.XtraBars.v23.2.dll.

Add the following code in From1.cs:

using DevExpress.XtraBars.Ribbon;
namespace WinFormDemo
{
public partial class Form1 : RibbonForm
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }
}
}

Build the app and change the runtime to .NET 9.0:

"frameworks": [
  {
    "name": "Microsoft.NETCore.App",
    "version": "9.0.0-preview.4.24218.7"
  },
  {
    "name": "Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App",
    "version": "9.0.0-preview.4.24218.3"
  }
]

Run the app.

Expected Result: Run successfully. Actual Result: Show error: System.TypeInitializationException: 'The type initializer for 'FormIconHelper' threw an exception.'

Finding: There is an app issue (DevExpress version23.1) we filed before for .NET 9 Preview1 and Preview2: [[dotnet-sdk-9.0.100-alpha.1.24070.3] AnalogyLogViewer launch failed with error: "System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory..." · Issue #10719 · dotnet/winforms (github.com)](https://github.com/dotnet/winforms/issues/10719) And even we upgrade DevExpress to version 23.2 (latest version), this issue still exists in .NET 9 Preview 1 and Preview 2. But start from .NET 9 Preview 3, previous error was gone, and we get 'The type initializer for 'FormIconHelper' threw an exception.' exception now.

We can repro this issue in .Net 9.0(form designer cannot be loaded successfully), not .Net 8.0, here is the call stack --- it seems to be a DevExpress product issue.

Unfortunately, this looks to be an issue with private reflection on internal types, and we can't promise that this internal surface doesn't change.

@merriemcgaw @JeremyKuhne Thank you for helping investigate this issue. Any updates regarding it? Could you please let us know if this issue is a blocker for .NET 9 Preview 4?

@Junjun-zhao was Devexpress 24.1 tested? I've raised a Devexpress support issue at: https://supportcenter.devexpress.com/ticket/details/t1231900/exception-in-formiconhelper-net9-preview

Thank you for sharing the link . So this is also Devexpress issue , right ? No. We tried to download the latest trial version from the official site , the version is still V23.2 .

elachlan commented 6 months ago

@Junjun-zhao apparently it has been fixed in v23.2.6
