The only other suggestion I can think of is changing MyPersistentData's Point variable to an ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.IPoint instead of PointClass.  If that doesn't work, then I'm afraid we've ventured deeper into ArcObjects than I've ever gone.  Do you need to have one of their COM objects inside the class you're trying to persist or is this simply to get their sample code up and running? ...

Hmm...  I followed your link but it looks to me like it wants a ref.  It would give you a compiler error if your code isn't using the correct one.  Speaking of which, is that a compiler error you're getting or a runtime exception? You said you've "also tried not new'ing".  Did you try including the new like I had in my first comment? ... View more

I'm a little confused by the error message you're getting, but my guess is that it's because the second parameter to Load is a ref parameter, not an out parameter.  Try new'ing up the _data member: protected override void OnLoad(Stream inStrm) {     _data = new MyPersistentData();     _data.Location = "";     _data.Point = new ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.PointClass();     PersistHelper.Load < MyPersistentData > (inStrm, ref _data); } If it were an out parameter, then Load would initialize the object instead of you doing it in OnLoad. BTW, the problem could be something completely different given the bit about "managed activation".  What specific line is the error from?  The call to Load or setting Location or Point? ...

Cool!  Thanks Charlie! ... View more

Thanks Dan!  The one from 10.3 is 7.83 megs.  Different indeed!  I think Esri packaged up the wrong .lib in the sample.  Do you know if there's anywhere else to download the driver? ... View more

Awesome, I'm glad it worked for you! ... View more

Deidre, I don't recall there being any special tricks other than /s, but here are a few things that I might be doing differently than you: I've got ESRISignAddIn.exe checked in to source control, so it winds up being executed from a location within my job's workspace. ESRISignAddIn.exe is invoked from a batch file.  The batch file is executed by a Jenkins batch command step, rather than the .exe being called directly. I'm specifying the /r parameter in addition to /c, /p, and /s.  I see you don't have /r in your example above. If it's helpful, here's the batch file that I use: @echo off REM Print some help if the user is clueless. if "%~1"=="" (     echo Usage: esriSignAddIn.bat ^<input.esriaddin^> ^<output.esriaddin^> [password] [certificate]     goto :eof ) REM Prompt for password cls echo Signing %1 echo. if "%~3"=="" (     set /p password="Password: " ) else (     set password=%3 ) REM Clear the displayed password cls echo Signing %1 echo. echo Password: echo. REM Set up the certificate path set thisDirectory=%~dp0% if "%~4"=="" (     set certificatePath=%thisDirectory%certificate.pfx ) else (     set certificatePath=%4 ) REM Sign the binary set ESRISignAddInExe=%thisDirectory%ESRISignAddIn.exe %ESRISignAddInExe% %1 /r:%2 /c:"%certificatePath%" /p:%password% /s Good luck!  Let me know if you get it working! ...

Thanks Joel!  I ended up just using one of the system cursors instead of a custom one, but I'll try changing the format like you suggested if I get a chance one of these days. ... View more

Mike, I don't have any real working code.  I've used the proxy technique I described above against .NET framework code, but I've never actually done it for the Pro SDK.  I've only been working with their JavaScript API lately, so our .NET code is just sitting around without any unit tests.  Very sad indeed! I'm kind of surprised that R# won't extract the interface for you, but it's pretty easy to do manually.  Just take the function you need to call, add it to an interface, and follow the pattern above to create a proxy class that calls the real implementation.  I recommend only extracting the functions that you actually need, not the entire thing.  It's usually not too difficult (although it can get complicated in certain situations), but it's just busy work and more code to maintain. -Mark ...

Fridjof, Thanks for expanding on that example!  I'm not sure what framework you're using, but I completely agree with you about how that sort of thing offers too much flexibility.  I considered using Microsoft's one at some point just because I was trying to introduce tests in a large, poorly written legacy codebase, but in the end I decided it was best to just refactor bits and pieces and add tests where I could. I've thought about writing a proxy generator like you mentioned, but unfortunately haven't had the time.  A code generator could work, but I also wonder if you could employ some DLR black magic.  That would be a fun experiment some day if I find the time. -Mark ...
