CLR Bridge - Some added assemblies don't show in dotNET "object"

[francisd84]

Hi there,

I'm trying to figure out why I'm unable to get the assembly which I added in the CLR bridge of my TC project.

Long story short: I'm trying to add the Newtonsoft.Json assembly to TC in order to call some functions to convert XML to JSON and vice-versa in a straight-forward manner (our REST API works with XML and it's easier to work with JSON under Javascript)

I tried to add it, but the assembly doesn't show in the Code completion of dotNET "object".  I tried with all DLLs of the Json.net package (compiled with differents dotnet frameworks) without success.

It is not the first time I see this behavior when adding an assembly, even from the GAC. Normally, when I create my own assemblies, I have no problem.

Any thoughs?

Thanks!

EDIT: I workaround this problem by creating a new .NET library with wrappers of the needed routines.  But I still want to know why the json.net library isn't shown in TC when directly added.  Thanks!

Thank you for posting a workaround here too (creating a new .NET library with wrappers of the needed routines), this is extremely valuable for Community members who might be facing the same thing.
