2022.10 Release is causing Compilation errors for Date conversions

[Marco_Willigenburg (Marco)]

For all the data formulas I current get the error below:
Path Exists: Expression Activity type ‘VisualBasicValue`1’ requires compilation in order to run. Please ensure that the workflow has been compiled.
What can I do?
Compiling doesn’t work and this error keeps turning up

Hello @Marco_Willigenburg

Are you getting this error for some custom activity? Ddi you tried reopening the project?

Thanks

I did, but it is surprisingly always with type into and check if file exists with date formula’s in there like this one:
“\kotvs003\KOT\Works\Poldat\Controlling\PBI\MPZW\InventoryPBI\Material Usage Per Month\Material Usage Per Month”&now.AddMonths(-1).ToString(“MMyyyy”)&“.xlsx”

Hi @Marco_Willigenburg

Check the Double Quotation " in the Date

Try with this expression

"\kotvs003\KOT\Works\Poldat\Controlling\PBI\MPZW\InventoryPBI\Material Usage Per Month\Material Usage Per Month"+now.AddMonths(-1).ToString("MMyyyy")+".xlsx"

Visual basic workflow compilation error

Hi, In windows legacy, it seems double quote is normalized and any double quote characer is accepted. However, at this time, in windows (.net6) ,in fact, only " (0x22) is accepted to express string literal. To make matter worse, it seems to occur only compiling. (Expression validator don’t raise an alert.) FYI, the following is sample for reproducing. The first Assign uses " 0x22 and second Assign uses “ and it fails in compiling.

Thanks! Is there a way to mass replace all these double quote with the .net6 double quote? My project is quite big (12 MB) and I have a lot of small ones as well

Hi @Marco_Willigenburg

I don’t think so it is possible
