Saxon

Have you referenced all the required DLLs in your project. Can you send a repo?

Also Saxon-HE 9.4.0.7 is quite old now is it possible for you to try moving forward to a more recent maintenance release such as 9.4.0.9?

Is there anything restricting you moving forward to newer Saxon release such as Saxon-HE 9.6 or 9.7?

If I remember rightly, Saxon 9.4 was built using an earlier version of IKVMC and it's entirely possible that that version doesn't work with .NET 4.6.

I would want to see the problem reproduced using Saxon 9.7 before we do any substantial investigation.

Hi,

I reference the nuget version: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Saxon-HE/9.7.0.7 and the issue still exists.

A colleague used the same application and it worked on his machine.

This is the repo: https://github.com/TomGroeneboer/SaxonHeIssue

I'm using Java version 8 update 101.

The NuGet package for Saxon-HE was created by a third party, not by Saxonica. I think this problem might well be due to a problem in that package rather than anything in Saxon itself.

We currently have no idea whether Saxon works on .NET Core or can be supported in that environment. The first thing we are trying to establish is whether the IKVM runtime, which we are dependent on, is viable on .NET Core.

Hi,

I tried your project on github and it works fine on my machine. I think the problem is specific to your machine, but I don't have any clues as to what is causing the class not found.

Just to add, I was running your solution using Visual studio 2015. IF you are using something else the underlying problem is possibly due to the lack of support for .NET core in Saxon .Net.
