Yes thank you, I have that in my code from the 2.x days. ... View more

Ok your alternative code works! Thank you so much. I made some very small modifications so that we can keep the prior logic, and it that doesn't work then use the new logic. I also wrapped the GUID with squigglies as that is probably what users expect. I also didn't want an exception thrown so on a fail I just return an empty string. Here is my mod to your code:   /// <summary> /// Get the current add-in module's daml / AddInInfo Id tag (which is the same as the Assembly GUID) /// </summary> /// <returns></returns> public static string GetAddInId() { // Module.Id is internal, but we can still get the GUID from the assembly var assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(); //var attribute = (GuidAttribute)assembly.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(GuidAttribute), true)[0]; object[] custAtts = assembly.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(GuidAttribute), true); Debug.Print("custAtts.Count={0}", custAtts.Count()); if (custAtts.Count() > 0) { GuidAttribute attribute = (GuidAttribute)custAtts[0]; string aguid = string.Format("{{{0}}}", attribute.Value); return aguid; } else { // if no custom attributes returned then try through the assembly location which has the GUID // embedded in the path. Debug.Print("assembly.Location={0}", assembly.Location); var dirs = assembly.Location.Split(Path.DirectorySeparatorChar); if (dirs.Length > 2 && Guid.TryParse(dirs[dirs.Length - 2], out Guid assemblyGuid)) { Debug.Print("assemblyGuid={0}", assemblyGuid.ToString()); string aguid = string.Format("{{{0}}}", assemblyGuid.ToString()); return aguid; } else { //throw new Exception($@"Assembly path doesn't contain a GUID: {assembly.Location}"); Debug.Print($@"Assembly path doesn't contain a GUID: {assembly.Location}"); return string.Empty; } } }    I  ...

Ok let me try this. thank you. ... View more

@Wolf  thank you so much. I also sent you some suggestions on the class methods. ... View more

Yes I did and it works IF you know the file path of the addin. To know the path of the Addin you need the guid. So to get the guid, you need the guid. // 1. get the filename of this .esriAddinX file var fileName = AddIn.GetAddInId(); // 2. get the config.daml content from the esriAddinX file var versionTuple = AddIn.GetConfigDamlAddInInfo(fileName); MessageBox.Show($@"Version: {versionTuple.Version} desktopVersion: {versionTuple.DesktopVersion} Id: {Module1.Id}");   But again this fails for me on line 2. ...

Unfortunately my knowledge base is limited when it comes to the writing of the assembly. But my tests showed that something is missing. ... View more

I looked up the documentation and it seems that parameter for isInherit is required in the call but ultimately ignored in GetCustomAttributes . ... View more

Ok this is very odd. I thought I had changed something that broke it. But I just created a brand new Addin with the VS template, added a button, added the Addin and Extensions classes. It still bombs at the same line. My guess is that a project migration from Framework to Core keeps some properties while a brand new project based on Core doesn't have them. Idk.   ... View more

@Wolf that is still a no-go for me. The line where it crashes is same as before var attribute = (GuidAttribute)assembly.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(GuidAttribute), true)[0];   When I run string guidStr = AddIn.GetAddInId(); it seems that the function GetCustomAttributes returns an empty collection. Rather odd since I started this project from scratch and used the guide here https://developers.arcgis.com/documentation/arcgis-add-ins-and-automation/arcgis-pro/tutorials/build-your-first-add-in/. I did however go to the Project Properties and change some stuff there. Mainly default namespace and assembly version. Mainly in the Package section.   ... View more

Thanks for the suggestions. ... View more

So tried your code and I'm getting a null on line 3. I also tried just the plain jane GetCustomAttributes() and that also returns zero elements. ... View more

So after experimenting with a few controls I settled on a ProWindow. It is only displayed by the user action and it is non-modal. Ignore the lame graphic I have:   ... View more
