I'm seeing a number of posts indicating that some people are having some luck doing VWG deployments under Sharepoint. Unfortunately, I'm not one of them.

We've started the process by adding the VWG (6.4) config entries to the Sharepoint (2010) web.config for the appropriate site. That led to the need (?) to install VWG assemblies into the GAC, but we can't even get past that, since there appears to be a dependency graph and we can't figure out how far to go.

If anyone's been successful in getting this to work, could you please post an outline of the steps you took? If using VWG applications in a Sharepoint site is a viable pairing, there's no end to what we could do internally.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Hello Michael,

The Visual WebGui installations supporting MS Visual Studio 2010 are not restrictive to MS .NET 4.0.
I guess the name of the installations can be confusing, but by naming them "Net4.0" we only mean that they are dedicated to MS Visual Studio 2010, nothing else.
If you want you can choose the target framework on your Visual Studio to be MS .NET 2.0. You will not encounter any problem from the Visual WebGui framework.

When I tried changing the target framework for a sample project (one form with one label on the form), I got the following:

Error 172 Could not load referenced assembly "C:\Program Files (x86)\Gizmox\Visual WebGUI\SDK 4.0\Assemblies\Gizmox.WebGUI.Common.dll".  Caught a BadImageFormatException saying "Could not load file or assembly 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Gizmox\Visual WebGUI\SDK 4.0\Assemblies\Gizmox.WebGUI.Common.dll' or one of its dependencies. This assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded.". C:\Code\Test\Solution2\WebGUIApplication1\ResGen WebGUIApplication1
 

Should there be anything else I need to do to target the VWG application to v3.5?
