The type initializer for 'Z.BulkOperations.LicenseManager' threw an exception about entityframework-extensions HOT 13 CLOSED

Hello @YSFKBDY ,

Do you think you could create a runnable project with the issue? It doesn’t need to be your project, just a new solution with the minimum code to reproduce the issue.

If it contains a real license, you can send the project here: [email protected]

Without a license, you can use our library for free (updating to the latest version every month to keep being in trial mode).

So, this error is not expected at all.

Hi @JonathanMagnan,

I don't think I can do that, but I can show you my code before and after BulkOperation changes.

Before:

foreach (var u in users)
{
    u.UpdatedOn = DateTime.Now;

    context.Entry(u).State = EntityState.Modified;
}

await context.SaveChangesAsync();

After:

foreach (var u in users)
{
    u.UpdatedOn = DateTime.Now;
}

await context.BulkUpdateAsync(users, opt => opt.BatchSize = 5000);

I have appr. 20k test datas, but that will go way up while testing day by day. As you can see, I've changed only two lines.

I hope that would be helpful.

Hello @YSFKBDY ,

Unfortunately, that will not help.

The current error happens in our static method in the Z.BulkOperations.LicenseManager that tries to initialize. So, the error will happen as soon as you use any of our paid features (and even a few free).

Why does it happen in your case? It is almost impossible at this moment to know. Perhaps that's only a missing dependency that has been deleted in your project or something like that. We already have some try/catch in the static method so we don't expect any error to be able to happen.

The only way to better understand this issue is by having a project that can reproduce it.

Hey @JonathanMagnan,

It was a missing dependency. I forgot to upload a dll file. When I've uploaded it, it worked like a charm. So, my mistake. :( Thank you for your time.

Hello again @JonathanMagnan,

When the trial period is expired - which I am checking it with like this:

if (Z.BulkOperations.LicenseManager.IsTrialExpired())
{
    //Doing some stuff to warn me.
}

I've uninstalled the NuGet package and reinstalled it, then deployed it, but it doesn't work. Z.BulkOperations.LicenseManager.IsTrialExpired() is returning true instead of false. What am I missing here? Am I doing this "updating to the latest version every month to keep being in trial mode" part wrong?

Hello @YSFKBDY ,

Sometimes you just need to clean the solution and rebuild it (the old dll might still be used). Your code look perfect.

If the problem persists, do you think you could create a runnable project with the issue? It doesn’t need to be your project, just a new solution with the minimum code to reproduce the issue. You can send it in private here: [email protected]

That will be way easier for us to understand why it's not working on your case with a project. It looks like an issue with dll, so we cannot really reproduce it in our side.

Hi @JonathanMagnan,

I've cleaned and rebuild the solution, then published it to my server, but nothing changed. Still not using the bulk update.

I tried to reproduce this issue with a new solution, but it works as intended.

Steps that I follow to update:

• Manage NuGet packages, and remove the package.
• Delete package folder from C:\Users\USERNAME\.nuget\packages
• Reinstall the package
• Clean the solution
• Rebuild the solution
• Publish it

Are there any hints for it updated successfully that I understand?

Hello @YSFKBDY ,

Here is what I recommend you, where you check for the Z.BulkOperations.LicenseManager.IsTrialExpired(), get the assembly version to log it or throw an error:

var assemblyVersion = typeof(Z.BulkOperations.LicenseManager).Assembly.FullName;
throw new Exception("Assembly Version:" + assemblyVersion);
// Console.WriteLine(assemblyVersion);

So you will be able to at least compare the version that is currently used with the version in your project. If you have the latest version, both versions should be different. That will not fix anything, but at least it will confirm that, for an unknown reason, the wrong assembly version is currently used in your project.

Let me know the result

Hi @JonathanMagnan,

It says Assembly: Z.EntityFramework.Extensions.EFCore, Version=3.102.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=XXXXXXXXXXX. Don't know it is correct/latest version or not.

from entityframework-extensions.

Hello @YSFKBDY ,

That is indeed the latest version. I was not expecting this answer, which makes it harder to understand why it is happening.

What is the date on your server? It looks like a dumb question, but this is the only thing I can think of at this moment that could cause the issue if your server date has, by example, the wrong year.
