70002828 GenericError event for AddFromFile

Summary

Sometimes the AddFromFile method fails (like a file is not present on disk or network or no have rights top read the file) but the GenericError doesn't fire for such cases. What can I do?

Solution

Try a code like:

            .....
            .... Where docfrom is a vdDocument like vdFramedControl1.BaseControl.ActiveDocument in your form.
            bool redefineBlock = true;
            string FileName = @"//SomeNetworkPath/test/11.vdml";
            vdBlock blk = AddFromFileX(docfrom, FileName, redefineBlock);
            ......
        
        public vdBlock AddFromFileX(vdDocument Document, string FileName, bool redefine)
        {
            string blockname = VectorDraw.Professional.Utilities.vdGlobals.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(FileName);
            vdBlock ret = Document.Blocks.FindName(blockname);// check if exists
            if (ret != null && ret.Deleted) redefine = true;
            if (ret != null && !redefine) return ret;// returns the block that already exists with  this name

            string supportpath = Document.SupportPath;
            Document.SupportPath += (";" + VectorDraw.Professional.Utilities.vdGlobals.GetDirectoryName(FileName));

            vdDocumentComponent docComp = new vdDocumentComponent(); //Utility component and document to open the file
            // event to check if and what error happend loading the drawing
            docComp.Document.GenericError += new vdDocument.GenericErrorEventHandler(doc_GenericError);
            vdDocument doc = docComp.Document;
            doc.Openflags |= Document.TopMostDocumet.Openflags;
            bool success = doc.Open(FileName);
            try
            {
                if (success)
                {
                    ret = Document.Blocks.AddFromDocument(blockname, doc, redefine); // add it to the master document
                }
            }
            catch { }
            docComp.Document.GenericError -= new vdDocument.GenericErrorEventHandler(doc_GenericError);// not needed any more
            Document.SupportPath = supportpath;
            doc.InternalSetOwner(null);
            doc.Dispose();
            return ret;// returns null or the block added from the file
        }

        void doc_GenericError(object sender, string Membername, string errormessage)
        {// here will show the error if the Open didn't worked
            MessageBox.Show("docComp: " + errormessage + "   " + Membername);
        }
