Project with ILMerge not working with 14.5.0

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hi

We are using Aspose.Words since a long time in a project that uses ilmerge to create one project DLL. We try to update our project from 14.2.0 to the newest 14.5.0 version. This produces serveral errors during the execution. We use the same build process as before. Just changed the DLL.

License wordLicense = new License();
string licenseString = @"<?xml version=‘1.0’…";
wordLicense.SetLicense(new MemoryStream(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(licenseString)));

Results in Error:
Attempted to read past the end of the stream.
at Aspose.Words.License.SetLicense(Stream stream)

Thanks for helping us!
Adrian

Hi Adrian,

Thanks for your inquiry. I suggest you please use the following code for applying the license:

FileStream stream = File.OpenRead(MyDir + @"Aspose.Words.lic");
License license = new Aspose.Words.License();
license.SetLicense(stream);

In case the problem still remains, please post your license file via mail to us. We will investigate the issue on our end and provide you more information. In order to post your license file to us please follow the instructions provided in the following link:

Hi Awais

That possiblity does not work for us. We have to integrate everything into the assambly. File access is not possible. So we have to use the stream approach.

If I change to demo license: license.SetLicense("") I get the same error. If I uncomment that line the error travels to an other method of your component.

My code line with next error. Is is an outputformat handler that i wrote:

outputFormatInfos.Add(new OutputFormatInfo(OutputFormat.Swf, new SwfSaveOptions(), "application/x-shockwave-flash", "swf"));

I sent you our license by private message. E-Mail is no more possible as descibed.

Thanks
Adrian

Hi Adrian,

Thanks for being patient. After an initial test with Aspose.Words 14.7.0, I was unable to reproduce this issue on my side. I would suggest you please upgrade to the latest version of Aspose.Words. You can download it from the following link. I hope, this helps.
