Custom skin is not loaded after Upgrade to .NET9

created 3 days ago

Hi team,

are there any known issues about custom skin registration under .NET9? I've updated form .NET8 to .NET9 and the app isn't loading my custom skin anymore. I've already recompiled the custom skin. Nothing else has changed.

Visual Basic
'Custom Skin
DevExpress.UserSkins.BonusSkins.Register()
Dim asm As Reflection.Assembly = GetType(DevExpress.UserSkins.nerdzSkin).Assembly
DevExpress.Skins.SkinManager.Default.RegisterAssembly(asm)

Thx.

    It seems that I have to recompile it AND set it with

    Visual Basic
    UserLookAndFeel.Default.SkinName = "nerdz Skin 2024"

    This line I have commented out for testing and forget to reactivate it.

    Hello,

    Because of .NET 9, we no longer support custom skins with embedded binary resources. As a result, our custom skin assembly format has been modified. Information previously serialized into resource files utilizing BinaryFormatter is now serialized in a secure manner, eliminating the need for BinaryFormatter. These changes affect custom skins created with the DevExpress Skin Editor and custom skins in assemblies are no longer loaded. To update your project, please refer to the following Breaking Change ticket: Custom skin assembly format has been modified.

    I hope this helps.

        So, I did instinctively the right and just recompiled it. Thx.
