MediaPortal and Visual Studio .Net: How To Import

sev7en · 2005-07-13, 08:20

Dear developers,
it's my first message in this board and I would like to say you THANK YOU for your effort... Mediaportal is a wonderful project!!! :wink:

So, here's the hard matter... Using as reference the HowTo "MediaPortal Plug-In How To" I set-up an dev station because I tought to build a personal release. I installed Visual Studio .Net, DirectX SDK 2004, TortoiseCVS Client as well as I downloaded successfully the CVS repository.

Problem occurs when I try to launch the MediaPortal.sln file, because .Net displays the error message following:

Quote:

The selected file is not a Visual Studio solution file

Is there a way to fix it?

Thank you,

are you using Visual Studio .NET 2002 instead of 2003 ?

if so there are project converters to convert an 2003 sln to 2002

The MP sources may not work with VS.NET 2002, because VS.NET 2002 compiles against .NET Framework 1.0, whereas VS.NET 2003 compiles against .NET Framework 1.1. There are differences between the two versions, though they are minor, they may break MP.

Hi chuvke and samuel,
thanks for your replies... yes, you are right I'm using VS.Net 2002.
I'll update my version to 2003.

Thank you and have a nice day!
