Export to XAML does not work on older forms

Post by dhatlestad »

Product: PowerShell Studio 2021 (64 Bit)
Build: v5.8.195
OS: Windows 10 Enterprise (64 Bit)
Build: v10.0.18363.0

Export to XAML seems to work for new forms only. In my older projects, I get this error when I try to export a form: "Error during save: Name cannot be an empty string." I have saved the old project to update it, reopened the project, everything I could think of. Any advice for updating older projects would be welcome.

There should be no distinction between older and new forms. It sounds like there is an issue when attempting to convert the controls. What type of controls are used in your older forms?

Can you please submit a form that is giving you this error here:

Please note this feature is experimental.

This error has been fixed. From what I can tell, the issue can from attempting to convert the SplitContainer control. This fix will be included in the next service release.
