Referencing Source Code projects with VisualWebGUI installed

I have downloaded the source code for my installed version of VisualWebGUI (V5.83.1), and I have added the relevant source code projects to my VS solution. I want to be able to step into the VisualWebGUI code as I debug my application.
However, with the VisualWebGUI SDK installed, VS always looks directly into the GAC for the VisualWebGUI dll's. These dll's obviously have no related source code files, so I cant step into the code.
If I remove the VisualWebGUI SDK through Control Panel -> Add Remove Programs, VS does look at the source code projects, and I can step into the code, but then the VisualWebGUI Designer obviously no longer works.

How can I have the VisualWebGUI SDK installed, while also being able to step into the VisualWebGUI source code?

Cheers.

Tyson.

Hi Tyson,

Because VWG is installed in the GAC to make life easier when working with the installed version, it does not let you work on the open source in an easy way. I would recomand working with the source code without the installed version and using the template installation which can be found in the code snippet area of this site.

Cheers,
Guy

Re: Referencing Source Code projects with VisualWebGUI installed

I have uninstalled the VWG SDK and installed the templates mentioned above. This allows me to step into the source code, and allows me to create new VWG projects/add new VWG controls and forms, but I still cannot edit forms and controls with the designer. Attempting to open a form or control is the designer results in a dialog box stating:

"The UTF8 string passed in could not be converted to Unicode."

How can I develop VWG applications as per normal while referencing the source code?

Cheers.

Tyson.

Re: Referencing Source Code projects with VisualWebGUI installed

Hi Tyson,

It is sounds like the new VWG application you are creating is missing some references.
Check that you are referring to:

* Gizmox.WebGUI.Client.dll (in the open source directory)
* Gizmox.WebGUI.Forms.Design.dll (in the open source directory)
* Gizmox.WebGUI.Forms.dll (in the open source directory)
* Gizmox.WebGUI.Server.dll (in the assemblies directory)
* Gizmox.WebGUI.Common.Design.dll (in the assemblies directory)
* Gizmox.WebGUI.Common.dll (in the assemblies directory)
