Crash trying to get Windows.UI.Xaml.Application.Current

[viniciusjarina]

First of all. Thank you. Great project. This should built-in on VS. I dunno why Microsoft don't invest more in the UWP tooling.

I am using your extension but for some reason my application crash on Initialize calling Windows.UI.Xaml.Application.Current with Catastrophic failure. Don't ask me why.

I removed the chunk

reswcodegen/src/VSPackage/CustomTool/CodeDomCodeGenerator.cs

Line 98 in ceb9f65

var executingAssemblyVar = new CodeVariableDeclarationStatement(typeof(string), "executingAssemblyName");

and I am using the codepath that uses only the static typeof and seems to be working fine.

Would be nice to have some option that doens't try to call Windows.UI.Xaml.Application.Current

Thank you

@viniciusjarina Thanks for the version info. I'll see what I can do. I haven't touched this project or built UWP apps in years so the pace might be a bit slow 😄

[viniciusjarina]

Oh no worries. I end up tweaking the .cs generated. I just reported to let you (and potentially other users) know.

@christianhelle @viniciusjarina This is the same problem I ran into and should be fixed by #157 .
