Win32 exception
Having got SimpleTest working, :-) I've now turned my attention back to my own program to try and sort out the original issue. I thought from memory it was having problems in the same step as we had ...
Hi Greg,
Sorry - it's Visual Studio 2017 on Windows 10. I did check the string, and all is identical to SimpleTest, except for the state of course.
Yeah, it's not openning the browser, and I'm not sure why. I had a sudden thought that maybe the system wasn't quite ready yet (just ran into this in another project) and put in a delay, but same result. It's puzzling given the very same command is working in SimpleTest, and I'm not sure what else to look at. :-(

Dropbox StaffI'm afraid I don't know what may be causing this. I tried looking for other reports, but I didn't find anything that quite matches this exactly. It looks like this could be due to a permissions issue though; can you try running as administrator to see if that makes any difference?
Alternatively, can you compare the References in your project with those in SimpleTest? It may be referring to not being able to find a referenced library file.
If you can reproduce this in a new simple project and share that, we'll be happy to try it here so we can troubleshoot directly.
Hi Greg,
Running as admin didn't fix it. I found the JS page was in my Resources folder, whereas in SimpleTest it's in the root folder. I tried moving it but that also didn't work.
The references look quite different, due to this being in Xamarin. In the meantime, with what I learnt from getting SimpleTest running, I managed to get THIS Xamarin solution working - http://52.57.4.83/index.php/2016/10/02/xamarin-forms-dropbox-integration-app-folder/. The approach is a little different. i.e. in this case Webview is being used rather than Httplistener, for example. I was hoping to get it working following your .NET doco, since theoreticlly it should work, and if successful then I can confidently follow your other .NET doco (I've been switching back and forth trying to get them both working, and I've succeeded with the other one first). Perhaps this is one of the limitations in Xamarin though. I'll see if I canfind out some more about that possibility from them, as, like I said, would LIKE to get this approach working if I can (I have more resources available to me if I'm able to follow your .NET doco. The Xamarin Dropbox blog I mentioned above is the only such resource I've found). I'll report back if I find out anything. Thanks for your help. :-)
