I am new to vwg and although it is great I am finding that unless you intimately know how it works under the hood, it can very be frustrating. I asked a question regarding the ability to deploy using .aspx extension, which apparently can be done by inserting an <extension=.../> tag and have not had any reponse. I only know about this extension as I saw it in a post. Where is the full documentation on web.config? I found the version 6.0.4 vs2008 3.5 implementation very buggy.; Controls don't update when edited at design time, I can't delete controls once added, datagridviews appear in ie, but not in firefox.
Looking at someof the posts it seemed a good idea to upgrade to 6.1.3. I un-installed 6.0.4 and installed 6.1.3. I now cannot run my application at all. On startup I receive a type initializer error. The versions are all correct in web.config, I cannot see any conflicting assemblies in the GAC and I have deleted all files in the bin folder before re-building.
I have only just started this project and so am not doing anything too complicated yet and I am seriously concerned that if I am having this much trouble now, what will it be like when I get my teeth into it. Don't get me wrong the benefit seems to outway the current problems, but for me to learn and navigate around all the quirks I need access to an in-depth knowledge base, more meaty documentation and much more speedy support. I cannot email my project off and wait 2-3 days every time I have a problem.
Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
So far I have,
1. After upgrade I removed all Gixmox references in project properties
2. Re-added references to all Gizmox dlls in Prog Files/Giz../Vis../SDK30 folder
3. For all added references, set Copy Local = True
4. Confirmed versions in Web.Config -> configSections / httphandlers correctly reflect version 3.0.5701.0
5. In web.Config incremented PrivateVersion by 1
When I run my previously working app I get issues relating to controls on a form of which an instance is declared in a module that is called on startup. For example one error says that DropDownWidth for a combobox cannot = -1. Another says a key in a hashtable cannot be null. I haven't changed any code since upgrading so do not know what is going on. But at least I know where to look now...Controls do not have to be re-added after this upgrade do they?
