Unhandled Exception in Cloned Code

[dr-eck]

Simon, Thanks for providing this sample. I'm hoping to implement a TreeView, so it's exactly what I need. Unfortunately, I'm getting an error: ''' Unhandled exception at 0x00007FFA0562FABC in TreeViewSample.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: winrt::hresult_class_not_registered at memory location 0x0000000880AFEE68. ''' All I did was clone your code, compile it in Debug mode (VS 2022 17.11.2), and run. Here's the call stack:

I just went through the project settings and found that the C++ Language Standard was set to an older version. When I updated to Preview, the program started working. Issue solved.

Hi,

I just retried the project as is and it worked fine (I'm also on VS 2022 17.11.2). C++ language standard is set to "ISO C++17 Standard (/std:c++17)".

However your error "winrt::hresult_class_not_registered" looks much like something else (WinRT class activation that failed).

Strange, not sure what's the root cause of your problem. I've just updated the nuget packages too though...
