Exception Thrown when calling TXResStr()

Exception Thrown when calling TXResStr()

I'm compiling DeafultsTools SDK sample but when running the debug version of the plug-in in VectorWorks 2017 an exception is thrown.   Windows SDK Version: 10.0.17134.0 Platform Toolset: Visual Studio 2017 (v141)   No compilation error or warnings. The exception is thrown when inside the VWExtensionTool constructor (VWExtensionTool.cpp): fstrTitle = TXResStr( toolDef.fTitle.fResNameWithoutPathOrExtension, toolDef.fTitle.fStringIdentifier, eAllowEmptyResult );
Good, if you use VW SDK 2019, that is another story, then you must use toolset V141.   The bad news is that under Windows you cannot use Debug version of your plugin in a released VW version... which is compiled as Release. That is has to do with a design choice of Microsoft where the C Runtime of Debug and Release cannot be used together. As, since VW 2018, TXString ist implemented internally as a std::string, you cannot call a TXString from your plug-in through a call using a TXStrin
