Which windows application would that be?

My guess would be that BusinessFoundation haven't been initialized properly.

It's worth noting that we no longer support "standalone application", at least, not "officially". To make it work you would have to make sure the initialization chain works, which is not trivial.

Our suggested approach is to build it as an extension API to your website, and run your code from there. In that way you can guarantee that you have all the contexts you need, without having to do anything to set them up.

Hi Erik Norberg,

I am new to epi server.Can u please help me how to initialize the busineessmanger in windows form application.its hurry to proceed.

Thanks in advance

First off this isn't supported and it is subject to unannounced changes as it is all internal areas we are getting into.

One thing you should always include in your posts here on the forum is what version of CMS and Commerce you are using, especially when we are getting into these darker areas the solutions will not work for all versions.

First thing you need to make sure you are doing is calling the framework initialization:

using EPiServer.Framework.Initialization;
InitializationModule.FrameworkInitialization(HostType.Service);

Hi Erik,

I am getting error like below

An unhandled exception of type 'EPiServer.Framework.Initialization.InitializationException' occurred in EPiServer.Framework.dll

epi version - 10.3.1

commerce version - 10.2.1

Please give some idea.

Only thing i can make out from that exception is that the problem is detected in the StructureMap and it seem to relate to setting up the SystemDefinition.

Have you installed the nuget packages into your application project?

Have you supplied all needed configs matching your web configuration?
