Upgrade Issues 

I have a program that worked with an older version of VWG. I now have 6.4.0 LGPL release and have upgraded the project. When I run I see the menu on the left side as it should be. None of the menu items display the desired screens. This is VS2008 and .NET3.5

Why would an update cause the menu system to stop working?

Re: Upgrade Issues 

Hi rphillips,

Welcome to Visual WebGui

It is not easy to say what might be wrong, but the most common cause is some unhandled exception that would prevent your form from loading correctly. I suggest you take a look at the most major breaking changes between version 6.3 and 6.4 which you can see in this wiki article here.

To catch the unhandled exceptions, you might want to open your project in VS2008, Go to the Debug window and select Exceptions (or press Ctrl-Alt-E). In the dialog, you should check the Common Language Runtime Exceptions''s Thrown checkbox, then build your project and run in debug mode (F5) within Visual Studio and see if you catch any errors that way. If you do, they will help you track down the problem.

If you don't get any errors and your form still doesn't load correctly, there's often not much else to do but start removing parts of your form until you get it to run, and then go back step by step until you locate the error.

If this is just a simple application, we might also be able to help you with a quick check, if you would email it to support, but you should first try what I mentioned above.

Hope this helps,

Palli

Re: Upgrade Issues 

Definitely not a simple application. I didn't get any exceptions. It has a panel that is used for display of all of the screens. It is as if the panel has been sent to the back. I will work it from that angle and see how it works out. Any other suggestions?

Re: Upgrade Issues 

Hi,

My suggestion is again for you to read the breaking changes article I referenced in my last post, and make sure you have understood and checked the behavioural difference in docking and anchoring. You might even want to try setting the PreReleaseDockFillCompatibility to On and see if you get different behaviour.

If you already checked that, I apologize, but this sounds like a very valid candidate based on your last post.

Hope this helps,

Palli

Re: Upgrade Issues 

That certainly sounds like it should work, but I still don't get my screen displayed.

I have <PreReleaseDockFillCompatibility Mode="On"/> right above the end WEBGUI tag in my web.config file.

 

I am running the site from the development IDE and the menu displays fine. When clicking on a menu item I see the wait icon briefly and nothing happens. It is as if it is behind the panel or anchored incorrectly still. If I try to move the panel to front or back I get a recurring error when saving and running.Is there another option that could be overriding that setting?
