That means that some exception is thrown while it tries to do that.

Hi Noam,
I like to point out that this occurs on all workstations with VS2022 in any application.
When I attach VS to a session it returns this:
So, it crashes on the initialization of the dataview? Doesn’t seem normal.
I still think that it has to do with compatibility with VS. I heard there are more who encounter this issue…

Onderwerp: Re: Column Wizard reports an error
This error happens when it's trying to create a new instance of the controller - to see the format and understand the column widths.
That means that some exception is thrown while it tries to do that.
My suggesting to you - Start another visual studio - and attach it in debug to the first visual studio - as you open the wizard - then when you'll get an error - you'll get the exception in the other visual studio - and you'll be able to see what it is.

Has the Wizard become obsolete during the VS upgrades?

Just to verify further, try commenting out this relations.Add (that references Application) - rebuild this project, and try the exact same column wizard - does it work for you?
This is not the solution, just a diagnostic stage.
More diagnostic stages - do you get the same error - with code that just went out of the migration? (re open a rar file that you have, built and try)
Did you change the way the projects reference each other and build?

Hi Noam,
If I comment out the Relations.Add() and use the Column Wizard again I get the same error:
But this time the attached VS doesn’t report it…

Next step:
- Remove .vs-folders
- Run buildDebug
- Run buildRelease
- Open first VS-session
- Open solution (Relations.Add() is still commented out)
- Open second VS-session
- Attach first VS session in second VS-session
- Use the column wizard
The Wizard freezes.
After closing this window the error appears:
The second VS-session doesn’t report anything.
If I do the same procedure again, but now with Relations.Add() back in play then the second VS-session jumps in:
Details attached…

Unzipped it, built it and opened the same view to try the Column Wizard:
Attached to a second VS-session it gives the same error:

I believe I found the issue - it had to do with reference to Application.xxx in the InitializeDataView of certain controller.
I've added soime code to `AbstractFactory.cs` class in env that solved this - you can find it at:
