`Util.RawHtml()` signature changed in LP8

viceroypenguin · November 2023

The LINQPad.Reference package defines Util.RawHtml(XElement) as returning an object. However, in LP8, it returns a LINQPad.Util.IMetaObject. This is creating a MissingMethodException when attempting to call Util.RawHtml() from a custom data context driver.

Specifically:

Unhandled error in method 'PreprocessObjectToWrite': 
Method not found: 'System.Object LINQPad.Util.RawHtml(System.Xml.Linq.XElement)'.
   at LinqToDB.LINQPad.ValueFormatter..cctor()

Joe - could we please get an updated LINQPad.Reference package with the correct RawHtml method?

Thanks,
Stuart

Thanks for the heads-up. I've reverted the signatures of the Util methods in 8.0.14 so that the existing driver should work without error.
