Trying out the ZUGFeRDRenderer

[kadattack]

I'm trying to understand what exactly the ZUGFeRDRenderer is doing so I ran code

using ZUGFeRD_Test;
using s2industries.ZUGFeRDRenderer;

var invoice = new InvoiceProvider().CreateInvoice();
InvoiceDescriptorHtmlRenderer.render(invoice);

and get error

Unhandled exception. System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'stream')
at System.IO.StreamReader..ctor(Stream stream, Encoding encoding, Boolean detectEncodingFromByteOrderMarks, Int32 bufferSize, Boolean leaveOpen)
at s2industries.ZUGFeRDRenderer.InvoiceDescriptorHtmlRenderer.render(InvoiceDescriptor desc) in /home/newdev/Documents/Tehnolink/C#_Code/ZUGFeRD_Editor/ZUGFeRD_Editor/ZUGFeRD_Editor/ZUGFeRD-csharp/ZUGFeRDRenderer/InvoiceDescriptorHtmlRenderer.cs:line 44
at Program.

$(String[] args) in /home/newdev/Documents/Tehnolink/C#_Code/ZUGFeRD_Editor/ZUGFeRD_Editor/ZUGFeRD_Editor/Program.cs:line 34

The line in question is

ZUGFeRD-csharp/ZUGFeRDRenderer/InvoiceDescriptorHtmlRenderer.cs

Line 44 in 7e41377

using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream))

I assume this is happening because the test.cshtml is an empty file.

My question is, what is test.cshtml actually suppose to look like and why was it left empty?

Hi @kadattack ,
this was more a test project that I never put much work in.
Imho, it wouldn't be very difficult to turn this into a full fletched ZUGFeRD renderer. Let me add some elements to test.cshtml so that this can be easily understood. And if you like, I'd be more than happy if you could put some work into this.

Imho this is a nice starting point. Surprisingly it is very easy to use Razor templates in a console application.
Just haven't found out yet if and how ViewComponents are possible, that'd be great for outputting party objects

Hi @kadattack ,
did you have time to look into this?
